Bulletin
Sunday, February 19, 2012
In our repentance, the Lord remembers not our offenses. God, who is forever faithful, has sent us his Son. He is the sign of God's never ending healing love and forgiveness.
A Note from Fr. Al,
Lent is just around the corner with Ash Wednesday coming this Wednesday. For those who are able, consider daily Mass Tuesday - Friday at 9AM. On Fridays, remembering the day our Lord died, come to the Stations of the Cross and the simple soup supper.
Happy Lent
Fr. Al
Thoughts on Stewardship
Through the prophet Isaiah, God promised the Israelites something new: freedom from sin and exile. This theme of "newness" continues in St. Mark's Gospel, when Jesus cures the paralytic - astonishing the people of His time and confirming His power to forgive sins. As followers of Christ today, we seek "newness" through the renewal of our lives by discerning God's will. When we seek to do the Lord's work, we are moved to perform acts of charity and mercy that we may not have thought possible.

Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time
Jesus manifests the powerful, healing love of God by curing the leper who was forced to live under severe restrictions by Jewish legislation. He turned to Jesus in his need and was filled with joy. We are called to imitate the healing and compassionate Jesus.
A Note from Fr. Al,
Thank you to all who made our first anniversary in our new Church so wonderful. May we continue doing the good work of Christ.
Peace,
Fr. Al
Thoughts on Stewardship
In today's passage from Leviticus, the Lord instructs Moses and Aaron on how to handle leprosy cases. In St. Mark's Gospel, Jesus shows great compassion to a leper's request for healing and cures the man, who then publicly proclaims the wonder of his healing. St. Paul encourages us to imitate Christ in all things: do we show compassion and love to the outcasts of our day?
Pray For the Pope’s February Intention
That all peoples may have access to water and other resources needed for daily life.

Annual Catholic Appeal
In each of the 76 parishes throughout the Diocese of Spokane this is ACA commitment Weekend. Every household in the parish has received a mailing from our Bishop and another from our pastor, asking for our participation in the Annual Catholic Appeal 2012. In this Appeal - titled Co-Workers in the Field - the Bishop calls us all to a time of re-seeding and new planting as we toil together to foster the growth of God's Kingdom. Contributions and pledges (payable over a twelve month period) made to the ACA provided much-needed funding for the many ministries and administrative needs of our diocese. This year, in particular, the Bishop asks us to assist him in addressing the catechesis and faith formation of our children and youth. Our parish is part of the Catholic family in our Diocese; it shares responsibility for assuring the continuation of the mission entrusted to us by Christ. The participation of every household in our parish is important for us to reach our goal of $29,761.
After reflecting prayerfully on your role in fostering the shared mission of our Catholic community, please respond generously to the Bishop's request. Contributions/pledges can be made by direct mail, or by placing your pledge envelope in the Sunday collection. Extra envelopes and ACA brochures are available in the gathering space of the church.

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Job's cry of hopelessness stands in marked contrast to the hope of those who put their trust in Jesus, who "heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds." Such are the blessings of the good news.
A Note from Fr. Al,
The people (including us) see Jesus as a Healer. Yet, we hear in today's Gospel that Jesus sees his purpose is to preach. Jesus sees his purpose is to bring people to God through God's Word. Might it be that healing is temporary whereas knowing God lasts forever?
Peace,
Fr. Al
Thoughts on Stewardship
The Scripture passages today are linked by the subjects of suffering and healing, faith, preaching the Good News, and prayer. Job experiences tremendous suffering but keeps his faith in God. In St. Mark's Gospel, at the disciples' urging, Jesus heals Simon-Peter's mother-in-law. Jesus teaches us, His disciples, the importance of prayer and knowing through faith that He is always present to strengthen us and to heal us from our afflictions.

Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time
As Moses challenged the Israelites to listen to God's voice, so we are called to hear the voice of Jesus and live out his teachings by what we say and do, whatever our vocation in life may be.
A Note from Fr. Al,
Who is Jesus? A teacher, a prophet, a healer, the Holy One of God? How we each answer this question will make a big difference in our lives! If today you hear his voice harden not your hearts.
Peace,
Fr. Al
Thoughts On Stewardship
In today's Old Testament passage, Moses speaks of another prophet God will raise from among the Israelites. In St. Mark's Gospel, that prophecy is fulfilled in Christ Jesus, who speaks, heals, and casts out evil spirits with authority in the synagogue at Capernaum. As faithful stewards, we not only acknowledge Christ as a Great Prophet, but also support the Popes and others who speak out against the moral relativism and injustices present in our time.

In this year's Appeal - titled Co-Workers in the Field - the Bishop, calls us all to a time of re-seeding and new planting as we toil together to foster the growth of Christ's Church in our Diocese. Contributions made to the Annual Catholic Appeal provide much-needed funding for the many ministries and administrative needs. This year, in particular, the Bishop asks us to assist him in addressing the catechesis and faith formation of our children and youth. Our parish is part of our diocesan Catholic family; it shares responsibility for assuring the continuation of the mission entrusted to us by Our Lord. The participation of every household in our parish is critically import for us to reach our goal of $29,761. Thank you.

Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time
As Moses challenged the Israelites to listen to God's voice, so we are called to hear the voice of Jesus and live out his teachings by what we say and do, whatever our vocation in life may be.
A Note from Fr. Al,
Who is Jesus? A teacher, a prophet, a healer, the Holy One of God? How we each answer this question will make a big difference in our lives! If today you hear his voice harden not your hearts.
Peace,
Fr. Al
Thoughts On Stewardship
In today's Old Testament passage, Moses speaks of another prophet God will raise from among the Israelites. In St. Mark's Gospel, that prophecy is fulfilled in Christ Jesus, who speaks, heals, and casts out evil spirits with authority in the synagogue at Capernaum. As faithful stewards, we not only acknowledge Christ as a Great Prophet, but also support the Popes and others who speak out against the moral relativism and injustices present in our time.
