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.

A Busy January and Safety Reminders!
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.

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.

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!
