Page 2 St. Scholastica
My dear friends in Christ, Greetings of Peace and Joy of our Lord. On this 5th Sunday of Ordinary time, Our Lord is asking us to show concern to others especially the less fortunate ones. Try to do an act of Charity in the days ahead. This week is special to us as we celebrate the feast of St.Scholastica our Patroness on Feb 10, 2014. She is the twin sister of St. Benedict, born in 480 AD at Nursia, Italy and died on Feb 10, 542 AD at Monte Cassino, Italy. She dedicated her life to God as a Benedictine Nun. It is worth reminiscing the famous story of the twins visiting each other: Once a year St. Benedict would visit his sister St. Scholastica in the guest house of the monastery for a day and return to the monastery by the end of the day. In the last year of St. Scholastica's life the twins were visiting each other as usual for a day. When it was evening St. Benedict wanted to return to the monastery, but his Sister wanted him to remain with her the rest of the night so that they could spend time together praising God. But Benedict was adamant that he should return to the monastery. St. Scholastica prayed and immediately there was such a big storm that Benedict could not come out of the guest house. "What have you done?" questioned Benedict. " Well, I asked you for a favor but you refused and so I asked God for a favor and he granted it" replied Scholastica. Feb 11th is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. Pope John Paul II designated this day as the world day of the Sick. Let us be God's instruments of healing in this world. I will be traveling to India to visit family on Feb 10, 2014 and will return to our Parish on March1,2014 to resume my duties. Smile, God loves you and so does our Blessed Mother Mary. Fr. Robert G. Romaine Your Pastor

For the Safety of Soldiers Almighty and eternal God, those who take refuge in you will be glad and forever will shout for joy. Protect these soldiers as they discharge their duties. Protect them with the shield of your strength and keep them safe from all evil and harm. May the power of your love enable them to return home in safety, that with all who love them, they may ever praise you for your loving care. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Spiritual Tips
• Mass begins with processional hymn
and ends with recessional hymn. Let Priest be the last to enter the Church and the first to exit the Mass.
• Silence in the Church is golden. It
gives an opportunity for everyone to maintain prayerful atmosphere.
Thank you for your ongoing generosity and support!
Please note: To ensure proper recording of
your donations please be sure to indicate the amount of your donation on your weekly

You become a link with one of the strongest women’s groups in the world, and the only Catholic lay women’s organization recognized by the Bishops.

Faith Formation Calendar :
February 9: All Classes in Session February 16 NO Faith Formation Classes February 22 : Confirmation Retreat at Bethany Center February 23: All Classes in Session
Each year our parish and every parish
and mission in our Diocese is responsible
for a portion of the financial obligation it
takes to meet the ministry, programs and
services of our Catholic Church.
Together, we are able to reach so many
more in need than our parish could ever
reach alone. By now you should have
received at your home, a
personal invitation from me,
Rev. Robert Romaine to
participate in the 2014 Annual
Pastoral Appeal, One Faith,
Guided in Prayer,
Strengthened in Service.
Please take the time to look
through the brochure at the good works of our local Church, the many people
that are served through this joining of resources and the amazing generosity
that has been shared. We should be very proud of what we can accomplish
together. Today I ask you, in partnership with myself, Bishop Lynch and all of
the parishes and missions within our diocese, to make a gift/pledge to this
Annual Pastoral Appeal, for the benefit of our parish and more importantly the
many in need throughout the five counties of our diocesan family. Every gift is
valuable. Sometimes it is hard to envision how your one gift could make a
difference in an organization the size of our diocese, but it does, each Catholic
family, each parish, TOGETHER, can fulfill the mission of our Church, to love
and serve one another. In trying times our gifts from God may be more difficult
to identify, God blesses each of us every day. No one can do everything, but
everyone can do something. Not equal gift but equal sacrifice. Thank you for
continuing to support our parish and our diocesan faith community so faithfully
and in so many ways.
Stewardship is the way God has expected His people to live since the
