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.
Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy, and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience: Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another: even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you also. But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection: And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God. All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

SAINTLY REFLECTIONS ON PRAYER |
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 TEACHING OF POPE SAINT PAUL VI
The canonization of Pope Paul VI last month invites us to consider anew some of the important magisterial teachings of his Papacy (1963-1978). Over the summer there was some attention given to his Encyclical Letter Humanae Vitae (“Of Human Life”) on the 50th Anniversary of its issuance, July 25th, 1968. The Encyclical was subtitled: “The Right Order to Be Followed in the Propagation of Human Offspring.” It re-affirmed the Church’s teaching on the moral impermissibility of the use of contraceptives and sterilization as a means of “family planning” in married life, even in the face of much pressure for the Pope to abrogate that teaching in order to “get with the times”. In light of how things have gone over the past half-century, however, Humanae Vitae seems more and more like a prophetic document.

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
