From Fr. Joe This Sunday (January 12th) we celebrate the

Baptism of the Lord in the Jordan River by his

cousin, John the Baptist (Matthew 3:13-17). Now

in the Gospel according to Mark, we hear that

John’s baptism was one of repentance (Mark

1:4), and since Jesus had nothing to repent of,

why did Jesus need to be baptized? That this

event in Jesus’ life was included in the Gospels

was something of a mystery for the early Church

— and maybe even for some today. But if we

think of what we have been celebrating during

this Christmas season — the birth of Jesus on

Christmas day (God being with us as a human

being), and at Epiphany, that he came for

EVERYONE! – should we really be surprised when

Jesus submits to a baptism he doesn’t need in

order to identify with, to be in solidarity with, sinful

humanity? Again, not that Jesus became a

sinner – he didn’t and couldn’t – but that he

wanted to walk with us on our journey. What a

humble act of love, not merely allowing himself

to become a human, but WANTING to become

a human, so that he could bring forgiveness and

justice, and that we could relate more closely

with God. That is being in right-relationship (aka:

righteousness). When John the Baptist tried to

prevent Jesus from being baptized, Jesus said to

him: “Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill

all righteousness.” (Matthew 3:15) It is after this

baptism that God says with a voice from heaven,

“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well

pleased.” (3:17) As far as we know from the

Gospels, except for being baptized, Jesus hadn’t

done anything yet to deserve that affirmation,

but it is with that voice from the heavens that we

hear Jesus being identified as “my beloved Son”.

Then – after his baptism – Jesus starts his public

ministry.

It is with Jesus’ baptism that we liturgically end

the Christmas Season. (If anyone ever tells you

that the Church is old and stuffy, and takes the

fun out of life, think of this – the Church

celebrates Christmas day for 8 days! And we

celebrated this Christmas season for 2½ weeks!)

As we move into Ordinary Time this Monday,

January 13th, we can do so knowing, by faith,

that in our baptism God has named us, identified

us — you and me — as beloved sons and

daughters. Our baptism makes us brothers and

sisters of Christ, and God is “well pleased” with us,

too, when we are faithful in our relationships with

God and each other — again, that is

righteousness.

From Fr. Joe (Continued) (Continued from page 2)

Back in the November 10th bulletin the last

quarterly statement (July 1-Sept 30, 2019) of the

parish’s fiscal situation was published; and the

previous fiscal year report (July 1, 2018 – June 30,

2019) was in the September 15th bulletin. For

those who looked at those reports it would be

evident that steps need to be taken to balance

our budget. One way to do that is to raise our

parish’s income. Since that is not something the

parish leadership (i.e. the priests in consultation

with the parish finance and pastoral councils)

can control, we are taking steps to reduce the

expense side of things – which we do have some

control over.

One of those steps will be relocating the

Wednesday evening Faith Formation/REDD/

Youth Ministry programs from its current location

of the St. John the Baptist campus, to the

St. Mary campus beginning this February. The

St. Mary campus includes St. Mary Church, All

Saints Catholic School, and Gatzke Center (the

former convent) all of which are being used on a

regular basis versus, at St. John, only one day

each week. The cold weather months are the

most expensive for maintaining our facilities,

especially in regard to heating and

snowplowing. This relocation will allow reduced

temperature settings, and minimal utility usage

and snowplowing for this least-used of our

parish’s four campuses.

While change is challenging, it is also

necessary, and a sign of life – and it can also be

exciting. As we move forward with this cost-

saving measure, please be patient with the

parish leadership and staff as we strive to be

good stewards of the resources placed in our

care.

Have a blessed first week of Ordinary Time,

Stewardship in Our Readings Our baptism like the Lord's is a consecration to service. The bishops'

pastoral on stewardship reminds us that ".... there is a fundamental

obligation arising from the sacrament of baptism that people place their

gifts, their resources, their selves, at God's service in and through the

Church."

All Saints Parish Pro-Life Newsletter

Abortion accounts for over half the total amount of deaths worldwide last

year. Way more than half actually. According to a LifeSite News article

dated January 2, 2020 (see link to complete article below), of a total 58.6

million deaths worldwide in 2019, abortion obliterated 42.4 million lives.

Think about diseases like cancer or ALS, car wrecks, natural disasters,

homicide, suicide, war, acts of terrorism… none of them, even combined,

come close to the sheer devastation of human life caused by abortion.

42.4 million is a lot! It even sounds like a lot! But do we really know how to

grasp a number that huge? Do we really “get it”? The following examples

may help…

The number of deaths by abortion worldwide in 2019 was 42.4 MILLION.

Picture this...

• That would wipe out more than the entire population of Poland, or

Canada.

• It would annihilate the entire combined populations of Greece,

Austria, Ireland, Lithuania, Scotland, and Sweden.

• It would eradicate the entire combined populations of 22 states plus

Washington D.C.

• The loss of 42.4 MILLION people would be the equivalent of saying

goodbye to each and every soul in Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North

Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, Montana, Maine,

New Hampshire, Hawaii, Idaho, West Virginia, Nebraska, New Mexico,

Kansas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Nevada, Iowa, Utah, and Connecticut,

plus a few hundred thousand more.

• Wrapping your mind around a number like 42.4 MILLION, is like trying

to imagine the extermination of the 31 most populated cities in the

United States. Try to imagine the loss of every single human life in New

York City, L.A., Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio,

San Diego, Dallas, San Jose, Austin, Jacksonville, Fort Worth, San

Francisco, Columbus, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Seattle, Denver,

Washington D.C., El Paso, Boston, Nashville, Portland, Las Vegas,

Detroit, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Louisville, Baltimore, Milwaukee.

And to top off that list we could add Grand Rapids, Alpena, and

Presque Isle.

If 42.4 million innocent (or not so innocent) people were wiped from the

face of the earth by an act of terrorism we would be afraid, crying,

praying, angry, ready to take action, ready to fight. Remember how you

felt on 9/11? For any of us who can remember that day, it still brings tears

to our eyes. The loss of life on that day was horrific, senseless, and

incomprehensible to anyone watching the smoke billowing from the Twin

Towers... 2,977 lives were lost that day.

Horrible, senseless, unthinkable. Now imagine if 9/11 happened every

day. It is estimated that around 3,000 innocent humans die from abortion

each day in the United States alone; roughly 116,000 a day worldwide. As

Catholic Christians, we NEED to do our part to end this senseless killing. We

need to pray. We need to attend Mass. We need to come to our Lord in

Adoration and in confession and beg for His mercy and for an end to the

scourge of abortion in our nation and in our world. If we don’t feel moved

by the sheer volume of lives lost, then we need to ask Him for the grace to

be moved, and for the wisdom to understand what abortion truly is and

how it affects everyone, here in our community and all across the world.

Baptism of the Lord Page 7 January 12, 2020

Don’t be like Herod. He was afraid of a child, of

losing power, of losing control. Innocent life

meant nothing to him. Herod even killed two of

his own children because it suited his career.

How many children did Herod kill in Bethlehem

while trying to get rid of Jesus? Don’t we do this

every day in our nation? When a child comes

along and it’s going to mess up our plans, in this

country we say it’s a “right” to eliminate that

child. It’s a “right” to eliminate the threat. How

many innocent lives are sacrificed each day,

needlessly, out of fear?

Be like the Magi. Seek the Christ, and when you

find him, adore him. Worship him. You may not

have gold, frankincense, or myrrh, but you can

give him something better, the gift of your life.

Talk to him. Visit him. Spend time with him in

Adoration. You can take care of his people,

your neighbors. Think about the children born

into poverty each day. Think about the mothers

who are facing an unexpected pregnancy,

who may not have a home, a job, or any

support. Be the star for them. Show them Jesus

by how you treat them, by your generosity, and

by your mercy.

What Can You Do? A recent Catholic News Agency article addresses the false, yet often

repeated claim that thousands of women died from illegal abortions

before Roe v Wade. This claim is blatantly false. It has not only been

proven false by research, but has been directly refuted by some of those

responsible for creating and perpetuating the lies and fabricated

“statistics” that brought abortion to mainstream America. The only way

we can know the lies when we hear them, is to educate ourselves about

the truth.

In the News

Thank you to everyone who took time over the past few months to stop and sign the petition to end dismemberment abortion

in Michigan. A December 23, 2020 press release by Michigan Right to Life states that “The Michigan Values Life coalition

submitted 379,418 signatures believed to be valid to the Michigan Bureau of Elections…”

The legal signature requirement is 340,047. According to the release, “The Bureau of Elections will take several weeks to

determine the validity of the submitted signatures, and once enough signatures are confirmed the legislation will be sent to

the Michigan Legislature. The Legislature will have 40 days to consider the dismemberment ban, which after successful majority

votes will become law without Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s signature. Initiated legislation that isn’t passed into law is placed

on the general election ballot for a public vote.”

We will continue to update on the progress of this legislation as information becomes available to us. In the meantime, please

continue to pray, pray, pray for the success of this legislation to End Dismemberment Abortion in our state.

Parish Vision All Saints Parish is a spiritual and faith-filled family,

embraced by God’s love. We are centered on the

Holy Eucharist, inspired by the Communion of Saints

and empowered by the Holy Spirit to enliven and

ignite a community bound by love. We are united in

vibrant service under the leadership of the Trinity.

Parish Mission We, the members of All Saints Parish are called as a

sacramental people to grow in our faith and

participate fully in the one Body of Christ, centered in

the Eucharist. We value each other’s gifts and talents

as we serve the needs of our community while living

the truth and love of the Gospel.

Need a Ride to Mass?

Our parish partners

with Thunder Bay Transportation Authority to

provide a ride for those who are in need.

Those who need a ride will need to call TBTA

(ph: 989-356-4596) two hours before you would

like to be picked up to schedule your ride. If

you wish to have it charged, you must tell TBTA

dispatcher you are charging it to All Saints

Parish (we will not be doing reimbursements as

we would have no proof of a ride).

The parish will cover the ride only to/from

Church for the 4 PM Saturday Mass and the

11 AM Sunday Mass (based on the hours of

operation for TBTA).
