THE EPIPHANY PROCLAMATION FOR 2018 IN THE YEAR OF GRACE
(The Announcement of Easter and the Moveable Feasts:)
Know, dear brethren, that as we have rejoiced at the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, so by leave of God's mercy we announce to you also the joy of His Resurrection who is our Savior:
The Sunday of Septuagesima is the 28th Day of January.
On the 14th Day of February will fall Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of the Fast of the most sacred Lenten Season.
On the 1st Day of April you will celebrate with joy Easter Day, the Paschal Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
On the 10th Day of May will be the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
On the 20th day of May, the Feast of Pentecost.
On the 31st Day of May, the Feast of Corpus Christi.
On the 2nd Day of December, the First Sunday of the Advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom is honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh; for if you live according to the flesh, you shall die; but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live. For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear, but You have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father). For the Spirit Himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God; and if sons, heirs also; heris indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ.

Pastor's Note
"AN HISTORIC EVENT": THE PASSING OF ANNA MARIE (WALSH) COUGHLIN, A.D. 1910-2018
On Friday, July 6th, A.D. 2018 Mary Immaculate of Lourdes Church was filled with the extended family of Mrs. Anna Marie (Walsh) Coughlin, who died in her 108th year. As one of her relatives, parishioner Bob Brearley, said to me before the funeral Mass began, "This is an historic event."
He was right. Anna Coughlin was the last living parisioner from the time of the new parish church's dedication as Mary Immaculate of Lourdes on Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, 1910. She was a new-born baby. As she liked to say in later life, "I was baptized with the bells."

The Miracle of Lourdes
Beginning on February 11th, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in the grotto of a large rock outside the town of Lourdes, France. All in all there were 18 distinct apparitions, the last one occurring on July 16th of that same year.

"O GOD, Protector and Lover of the Humble, who hast bestowed upon Thy handmaid
Marie Bernarde the favor of beholding the Immaculate Virgin Mary, and of conversing
with her; grant, we beseech Thee, that walking through the simple paths of faith,
we may in the end behold Thee in Heaven." |
Parish Mission Statement
"What then is a parish? It is the smallest section of the one universal flock which has been entrusted to Peter by the Lord. Under the authority of a responsible priest who has received the care of souls from his bishop, the parish is, within the Church of Jesus Christ, the first community of Christian life; it is a community cut to human dimensions, in which the shepherd can know his flock and the flock can know their shepherd. At the heart of this area, we find the parish church with its bell-tower, its baptistery, its confessional, its altar and tabernacle, a symbol of unity and the centre of community life." - Blessed Pope Paul VI, reigned 1964-1978
