THE EPIPHANY PROCLAMATION FOR 2017 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 12th Day of February.
On the 1st Day of March will fall Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of the Fast of the most sacred Lenten Season.
On the 16th Day of April you will celebrate with joy Easter Day, the Paschal Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
On the 25th Day of May will be the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
On the 4th Day of June, the Feast of Pentecost.
On the 15th Day of June, the Feast of Corpus Christi.
On the 3rd 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: To me, the least of all the Saints, is given the grace, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ: and to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from enternity in God, Who created all things that the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the Church, according to the eternal purpose which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord: in Whom we have boldness and accesss with confidence by the faith of Him.

SEVEN GOOD HABITS OF PARISH STEWARDSHIP
As I announced here in last Sunday’s bulletin: the place of Mary Immaculate of Lourdes in the archdiocesan reconfiguration plan is officially a “stand-alone” parish. We will not be joined to another parish in a collaborative when the eleventh and final phase of the plan is implemented in 2023. Instead, we will be able to continue as we have been since Mary Immaculate of Lourdes was declared a “mission parish” with a special apostolate to the traditional Latin Mass in 2007. Cardinal Seán has seen fit to confirm his earlier pastoral plan for us within the structure of the current archdiocesan-wide “Disciples in Mission” plan.

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

SPECIAL INTENTION |
O good St. Gerard, powerful intercessor before God and Wonderworker of our day, I call upon thee and seek thy aid. Thou who on this earth didst always fulfill God's designs, help me to do the Holly Will of God. Beseech the Master of Life, from Whom all paternity proceedeth, to render me fruitful in offspring, that I may raise up children to God in this life and heirs to the Kingdom of His Glory in the world to come. Amen
