FOR SPIRITUAL RENEWAL:
The Community of God's Love, a
Catholic, Charismatic Community in
Steubenville, cordially invites all parishioners to its seventh annual Miniconference on Saturday, January 31, 2015, at Our Lady
of the Sacred Heart Oratory, 700 Lovers Lane, Steubenville.
CCHS ENTRANCE TEST
Thursday, January 15th, 2015
The Catholic Central High School Guidance Department
announces its pre-registration plans for the 2015-2016
school year. Present 8th grade students not attending
Bishop John King Mussio Junior High are invited to join us
for the entrance placement test followed by a tour of the
high school.
The students should report to the main lobby in the
Catholic Central High School Building at 7:45 a.m. on January 15th. The day will conclude at approximately 11:00
a.m. In the event of a snow day or two hour delay, the
test will be given on Wednesday, January 21st. Please
pre-register for the day by calling 264-5538.
The subject of the conference is the question, "How Can
I Love Completely?" Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB, will address
this question in two talks, reflecting on the two parts of
the Great Commandment: love of God and love of
neighbor.
Father Boniface is a Benedictine monk of St.Vincent's
Archabbey in LaTrobe, PA. He is a programming manager
and host for "We Are One Body" (WAOB) Catholic Radio
and an excellent, inspiring speaker who is able to move his
listeners to internalize the Gospel message in their own
lives.

GIVE TO THE LORD…….YOU FAMILIES OF NATIONS Psalm 96
The Image of the Holy Family, along with their donkey lying in a big heap, depicts complete
exhaustion on their Flight to Egypt, struggling against great obstacles in an effort to protect
their family, foster family life and preserve their family faith.
“The future of the world and of the Church passes through the family.” - St. John Paul II
“Not only will I say that the family is important for the evangelization of the new world, but that
the family is important… is necessary, for the survival of humanity. If there is no family, the cultural survival of humanity is
at risk. Like it or not the family is at the base” - Pope Francis Interview on Radio Cathedral July 30, 2013
THE FAMILY a Sanctuary of Life and Love:
Is a central agent in evangelization, for it is here that children first learn of God, are brought to the sacraments, and are
taught the values and virtues of the Catholic faith.
Is the center of the parish and the community and the larger cultures as they live out their faith as public witnesses called
to “give reason for their hope in Christ” (1 Peter3:15)
Is a powerful witness to the beauty and necessity of God’s grace as they live out the Catholic faith with peace, patience
and joy, even amid earthy struggles like the Holy Family
BE NOT AFRAID FAMILY HOURS are much more then just a holy hour. Each Family Hour DVD beautifully combines devotion and catechism. While you are praying you are learning more about the Catechism and other spiritual topics along
with hearing inspirational messages from St. John Paul II, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Francis Cardinal Arinze and other
great spiritual teachers. The Church we pass on to the next generation will depend greatly on how well we address the
challenges of our faith and the FAMILY today.

PRIESTS & DEACONS
CONDOLENCES
In Loving
Memory
of those
who have Died
(CCC 1405) “There is no surer pledge or clearer
sign of this great hope in the new heavens and new
earth ‘in which righteousness dwells,’ than the
Eucharist. Every time this mystery is celebrated,
‘the work of our redemption is carried on’ and we
‘break the one bread that provides the medicine of
immortality, the antidote for death, and the food
that makes us live forever in Jesus Christ.’” With
this great hope we pray for our sisters who have
died:
