FEBRUARY 4, 2018 F IFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

from the Pastor’s Desk...

My Dear Brothers an Sisters in Christ,

20 + C + M + B + 18

The 2018 Catholic

Charities Annual Appeal

will take place next

weekend in our parish.

Please refer to the insert

in this week’s bulletin

which includes our parish’s goal and an overview of the

importance of Catholic Charities in our communities. This

year’s appeal theme is Your Mercy: Transforming Lives

and Communities. Your generous support will help to

transform the lives of others and to offer dignity, possibilities

and companionship to those who are most vulnerable.

As in the past, an in-pew commitment process will take

place next weekend, February 10-11. All who have not

received the mailing from Bishop Perez, or have not had a

chance to respond to it, will be asked to consider making a

generous pledge to support the ministries and services

provided by Catholic Charities. If you have received the

mailing, please respond generously to it; and we ask you to

also complete the in-pew envelope and indicate by checking

the box that you have responded by mail.

We invite you to view the stories of inspiration and more

information at: www.catholiccommunity.org/2018Appeal.

May God’s blessings be yours this week. Father Ireland

To all of you who support our parish regularly through

Parents: Please continue to encourage your children to

use their offertory envelopes when they come to church

with you each week. It is a very good practice for them to

develop.

We invite you to consider a very easy way to make regular

contributions to your parish. AUTOMATIC GIVING

could be the answer. Contact Eileen Gerome any

Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) at

216.382.7601.

Enthronement of the Sacred Heart If your family would like an image of the

Sacred Heart of Jesus enthroned in your home,

please call Father Ireland at the Parish Office

(216.382.7601) to arrange for him to come to

your home and lead this beautiful devotion.

Let Us Love with the Heart of Christ.

Traveling Virgin Statue Our pilgrim Virgin of Fatima statue is available

to be loaned out to your family for a day or up to

one week. Please call Fr. Ireland (216.382.7601)

for a day to pick her up.

Blessed palm branches from last year will

be burned a few days before Ash

Wednesday to make the ashes that are

distributed to the faithful on Ash

Wednesday. The ashes serve as a reminder

for us that we are entering into Lent and are called to turn

away from sin and repent. Please gather up the palm

branches you may have at your homes, bring them to the

Church during the week (or no later than next Sunday,

February 11), and place them in one of the baskets provided

in the back of the Church. Thank you!

Next week we will have The Magnificat Lenten Companion

booklets available for an offering of $3.00. They will be sold

after Masses next Saturday and Sunday.

This publication offers reflections on the daily and weekend

readings as well as the Stations of the Cross and some prayers

and reflections for various occasions. Please stop and pick

one up next weekend. As usual, we have only a limited

supply available.

ATTENTION … ATTENTION

Next weekend we will reveal

the date and type of

fundraising activity

we will be having this year.

We also should be able to reveal

the goal of the entire

fundraising venture, as well

as more info about the event itself.

WATCH FOR COMING DETAILS.
