THE EPIPHANY PROCLAMATION FOR 2019 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 17th Day of February.
On the 6th Day of March will fall Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of the Fast of the most sacred Lenten Season.
On the 21st Day of April you will celebrate with joy Easter Day, the Paschal Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
On the 30th Day of May will be the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
On the 9th day of June, the Feast of Pentecost.
On the 20th Day of June, the Feast of Corpus Christi.
On the 1st 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: Having different gifts, according to the grace that is given us: either prophecy to be used according to the rule of faith; or ministry, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in doctrine; he that exhorteth in exhorting; he that giveth, with simplicity; he that ruleth, with carefulness; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good: loving one another with the charity of brotherhood, with honor preventing one another: in carefulness not slothful; in spirit fervent: serving the Lord: rejoicing in hope: patient in tribulation: instant in prayer: communicating to the necessities of the Saints: pursuing hospitality. Bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that rejoice, weep with them that weep: being of one mind one towards another: not minding high things, but consenting to the humble.

SAINTLY REFLECTIONS ON PRAYER |
(46th Anniversary of U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade Decision.)
National Day of Prayer & Pennace for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children
Fr. Desiré Salako has had to travel to Niger because one of his missionary priests has been kidnapped. He asked for the support of our prayers. The New York Times reports that the priest's name is PIERLUIGI MACALLI, S.M.A. It is believed that the kidnappers have taken him out of Niger to Burkino Faso.

Pastor's Note
THE MAGISTERIAL TEACHINGS OF POPE SAINT PAUL VI
As we launch out into this New Year 2019, I would like to dedicate a significant space in our weekly bulletin to highlighting some of the magisterial teachings of Pope Paul VI, who was canonized a Saint of the Catholic Church a few months ago. We will begin with the Credo of the People of God which was proclaimed at the close of the Year of Faith, June 29th, 1968.

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
Commentary by Fr. Sylvester Juergens S.M. (1894-1969)
