A Stewardship Moment Feast of the Baptism of the Lord Have you ever wondered why Jesus, who was without sin, was baptized? The baptism of Jesus symbolized and anticipated his death. After Christ’s ascension into heaven, baptism was required for all those who became Christians. St. Paul makes the connection between baptism and death for Christians when he maintained that we are buried with Christ in baptism, so that we may rise with him to a new life. In what way will we be good stewards of our new life in Christ in the coming year? CHRISTMAS 2014 AT MEDINA COUNTY JAIL by Connie Ebaugh I cannot express adequately, in words, how grateful our guests at the Medina County Jail were, again this year, for the donation of Christmas cards. Anyone who attended our prayer service on Dec. 9 received two cards to send to family, relatives or friends. Some exhibited disbelief that they could do that, but all were very grateful. One gentleman looked me in the eyes and said, “You have no idea how much this means to me.” Gratitude for the cookies we bring was high as well. Parishioners of Our Lady Help of Christians, Holy Martyrs, Sacred Heart and St. Francis Xavier provided more than 250 dozen cookies to those in the jail. Many years ago, Fr. Ned celebrated Masses there. During his homily, Fr. Ned shared a childhood Christmas that was so dear to him that, while delivering it, he was reduced to tears. The reaction from his congregation was very moving to observe. I recall one gentleman who came – as he walked into the room, before Mass, his swagger-type walk was loaded with “attitude.” That same man, after hearing Father’s heartfelt homily, walked out of that room with all “attitude” gone. He had become humbled and reverent and full of appreciation for the opportunity he had experienced. This year, Fr. Thom Kowatch from St. Francis Xavier celebrated three Masses at the jail on Dec. 16. Over 60 people attended and were very devout and moved. We were thanked dozens of times, with heartfelt wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The power of the essence of Christmas is immense. It is always an honor and a pleasure to see the positive effects it has on others. We received some good news from the jail: It will now be permitted for our guests to have rosaries. Our Sheriff Tom Miller, who is Catholic, has stated that we can bring them in. Sheriff Miller attended all three Masses this year, making a point to shake as many hands as he could, during the peace offering. Many of the guests were quite moved by this loving action.

January is shaping up to be a very busy month at St. Francis Xavier School, as you can see. A full list of ac vi es can be found on the calendar located on our school website. As a safety reminder, please remember to drive carefully in the school/church parking lots. I would also like to remind the parents of the a ernoon dismissal policy for car-riders. I understand that it is cold outside, however, it is impera ve that you get out of your car and meet your child (ren) near the rock in the coned area when picking them up in the a ernoon. This is the policy for all of our students, no ma er what the age. If you have a special circumstance that Have a blessed week. This Week at a Glance In Christ, Date Event Monday, January 12 Tuesday, January 13 _ 3rd Quarter Begins School Liturgy (K–Grade 4) 9:15 am in the Church 7:00 pm in the Xavier PTC General Mee ng Room Friday, January 16 2nd Quarter Report Cards Time S D Looking Ahead: Date Event Monday, January 19 Tuesday, January 20 January 25 to January 30 prohibits you from ge ng out of your vehicle, please have your student tell one of the staff members on duty and the staff member will walk your student to your car. You may also communicate your special circumstance to your child’s teacher and they will be able to communicate it to the staff members on duty as well. Please also remember that the yellow lined parking spaces on the church side of the parking lot, closest to the tree line, are only to be used on the weekends. They are to remain clear during the week during school hours. Also, please do not park along the grass on either the playground or the Leaning Center sides. This is causing difficul es for other parents to exit the lot. Thank you. The safety of our children, teachers, staff and parents is very important to us. D Time S W ST.

THE RCIA PREPARING FOR FULL MEMBERSHIP IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Are you or someone you know attending Mass but are unable to receive Holy Communion because you or they are not Catholic? Or, if Catholic, have you or someone you know missed the preparations required for the reception of the sacraments of Eucharist and /or Confirmation? If so, the Church has a process (the RCIA) which can help a person decide if membership in the Roman Catholic Church is right for them, or help a baptized Catholic prepare for Confirmation and /or Eucharist. The RCIA is always available here at St. Francis Xavier; therefore, one can explore the teachings of the Church and prepare for full Catholic initiation at any time during the year. Simply call Jenny Bonarrigo (the RCIA coordinator) at 330-5920086. Jenny will set up an appointment to explain the RCIA process, answer any questions, and discuss requirements and meeting times. The RCIA process is for unbaptized persons (age seven – adulthood) and baptized Christians (age seven – adulthood) from non-Catholic faith traditions. Additionally, parts of the RCIA process are necessary for baptized Catholics (age seven – adulthood) who have not remained active in the Catholic Church and, therefore, have not received the sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation. The parts of the RCIA and the length of time required differ from person to person. Call, today, to find out what it takes to become a full member of the Catholic Church! 6 St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church Contributed by In Memory Of Contributed by In Memory Of Mr. & Mrs. Romualdo Cipro Mr. & Mrs. Hunt, Connie Cipro Mr. & Mrs. David Kolasinski Mr. & Mrs. Barry Cobb Miklos Soltesz, Teresz Demko Mr. Richard Corlett Mr. & Mrs. Brian Feron Martha Corlett Feron & Reisinger Families, Wancata & Kendzierski Families Mary Jane Fisher Bob and Ellen Kish, Anne and Wally Kolasinski, Gary Paddock Joyce Ebner Frank Lewis-husband, Leo Sagan-father, Catherine Saganmother Aloysius J.
