    2 ST. FRANCIS XAVIER VOL. 73 NO 2 PASTOR’S CORNER

    Christmas Thank-Yous; New Sound; New Gates; Hope for 2021

    Christmas Thank-Yous. As we end the Christmas Season this weekend, I want to thank everyone who made the Sea-son special for our parish. That includes all who gave ‘Giving Tree Gifts’ or Christmas Baskets or purchased poinsettias for deceased loved ones; all who decorated the Church (inside and outside); all our servers, Eucharistic Ministers, lectors, musicians and ushers; and all who gave gifts to Fr. Thien and me. A special thanks to Wanda Do-novan for keeping all those poinsettias watered and beauti-ful. We greatly appreciate everyone who made the celebra-tion of Christmas so blessed.

    Sound System Upgrade in Church. Our Church Sound Sys-tem received an upgrade right before Christmas. We pur-chased new sound equipment and new microphones, and they have made a world of difference in terms of sound clarity and consistency. The sound no longer cuts in and out in that oh-so-annoying way. A debt of gratitude goes to C.J. Rowden, our Facilities Manager, for orchestrating the system upgrade. Thanks also to our parishioners whose regular offertory giving and ‘I Give Catholic’ donations enabled us to do the upgrade. We finally can check this item off our To-Do list!

    New Gates on Campus. The two iron gates into the School Yard are in bad shape after years of being opened and closed on a daily basis – and after being struck by cars en-tering or exiting the school yard. The gates are extremely difficult to open and close due to damage. Replacing the gates is on our checklist of campus upgrades. We have two bids for new gates and are in the process of getting a third bid, after which we will choose a contractor for the project and start the work. We again thank our loyal contributors for the funds needed to address this facility issue. Hope for 2021. We hope your 2021 is off to a good start. We hope and pray that the new Covid vaccine will begin to curb the impact of the virus on our world. Wishing you God’s blessings and peace in the New Year.

    Fr. Joe

    SUNDAY, JANUARY 10, 2021 THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD

    “This is my Beloved Son” Mk 1:7-11

    Why did Jesus, the Sinless One, submit himself to baptism by His cousin John? In this humble submission, we see a foreshadowing of His "baptism" by blood on the cross. Jesus’ baptism by John with water was the ac-ceptance and beginning of His mission as God's suffering Servant. Though sinless, Jesus allowed himself to be num-bered among sinners. He submitted himself entirely to His Father's will. Out of love, He consented to baptism for the remission of our sins.

    At Jesus’ baptism, the Father proclaimed his de-light in His Son and spoke these words: “You are my be-loved Son; in you I am well pleased.” The Holy Spirit also was present at Jesus’ baptism and anointed Jesus for minis-try in the waters of the Jordan River. As Jesus was being baptized the Holy Spirit sanctified the waters of His bap-tism, signifying a new beginning to creation.

    When each of us is baptized — similar to Jesus — the Holy Spirit descends upon us and fills us with the light and grace of God, anointing us for our mission as disciples of Jesus. The Father makes the identical pronouncement about us as He made about Jesus: “You are my beloved Son. You are my beloved daughter. In you I am well pleased.” At baptism, we gain a new identity as beloved children of God.

    As we celebrate the Lord’s baptism, may we recog-nize the tremendous love of God, the anointing that we received in baptism, and the call to be faithful disciples of Jesus, bringing light, grace and peace into our world.

    Lord Jesus, stir up in us the gifts of the Holy Sprit that we received at our baptism so that we may be your faithful servants and witnesses in this world.

    Church Reopening Guidelines +Governor’s Directive. The current Reopening Guidelines allow us to have 230 people in Church per mass. Once that capacity is reached, we can’t allow any more at mass. +Dispensation Continues. The Dispensation from Sunday Mass remains; a Weekday Mass fulfills the Sunday obligation. +Videotaping of Weekday/Weekend Masses Continues. +Entry through Any Door of Church; Seating at Mass. For weekday mass, choose a pew and stay 6 feet away from everybody else. For weekend Mass, ushers will direct you to a pew that fits your group. +Social Distancing Requirements at Mass: Please stay 6 feet apart from others in Church unless you are with a group; sanitize your hands immediately before Communion; receive Communion in the hand – open your hand flat and let the minister ‘drop’ the host into your hand; no physical contact at the sign of peace unless you are with a group; please don’t hang out in church before or after Mass; you MUST wear a facial covering (mask or shield) at all Masses, by order of the Governor, Jefferson Parish President and our Archbishop.

    Is it moral to take the new Covid Vaccine if it is connected to a line of aborted fetus cells? The Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith tackles this question in a new document entitled, “Note on the morality of using some anti-Covid-19 vaccines.” You can read the full document at: https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2020/12/21/0681/01591.html. The Congregation concludes that the vaccines are mor-ally acceptable because of a “remote” connection to aborted fetus cells and the gravity of the Covid health crisis. The document is short and worth the read. Let us know if you have questions after reading it.

    CONFIRMATION PREPARATION REMINDERS This Sunday is the Rite of Enrollment for Confirmation students during the 6pm Mass. Class follows that night from 7:00-8:30PM. Check your schedules for additional details. Reminder - reports on the Sponsor, Saint and letter to Father Joe are due at this first session. Call the Office of Religious Education (834-0348) for more info.

    VOLUNTEERS THANK YOU PARTY POSTPONED At our Volunteer Thank You Party last January, about 200 volunteers attended a catered party in the School Audi-torium with good food, music, second-lining and fun. Unfortunately, due to Covid, we need to postpone this year’s Volunteer Thank You Party set for January 30, 2021. We will look for an opportunity to thank our volunteers when health and safety permit. In the meantime, God Bless you for all you do to enrich our faith community. Fr. Joe

    (Top row) The heavenly choir sings of the birth of the Re-deemer, Mary and Joseph seek a place to stay and the innkeeper offers his stable, and the shepherds are shocked by the news of the birth of the Promised King.

    (2nd row) The Magi come bearing gifts. Pictures 2– 4 are some of the 43 volunteers who gave of their time to deorate the Church for Christmas Masses. (Row 3) The gym looked festive for Christmas liturgies, and (right) the Church was crowded — by COVID standards — for one of the Christmas Vigil Masses.
