JANUARY 18, 2015 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time 2 2 || St. St. Maria Maria Goretti Goretti Catholic Catholic Church Church ·· Westfield, Westfield, IN IN November 25, 2012 Sunday in in Ordinary Ordinary Time Time January 18, Thirty-Third 2015 Second Sunday A NOTE FROM FATHER KEVIN Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Pax et Bonum! Hello! And welcome to St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church! We gather together today to celebrate the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. And you might say, “Hey, what happened to the FIRST Sunday in Ordinary Time?” Last weekend, we were celebrating the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and the end of our Christmas season. Since then, we’ve had a full, first week of Ordinary Time, so that as we come together today, the Church considers today to be the first day of the week, Sunday, of our Second Week of Ordinary Time. Think of it like this, last Sunday was the First Sunday of Ordinary Time, it just got over-ridden by the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. How’s that for an explanation? We’re glad that you’re here with us! We especially welcome all of our visitors and guests who join us for Masses this weekend. And we offer special prayers of thanksgiving for those who are joining us for the first time today. It is good to be together around the Altar of the Lord! As we heard last weekend at all our Masses, next Saturday, January 24th, the Parish Council is again sponsoring our annual “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? Dinner”. Beginning at 6:00 PM in the Parish Hall, a great evening is planned of fun, fellowship, and building community. Because the cut-off for this year’s Dinner is tomorrow evening, I really wanted to encourage all of you to come and join us next Saturday, and to get signed-up in the next 24 hours. You can sign up by stopping by the Parish Council’s table in the church narthex after all our Masses this weekend, or you can go to our website, or you can drop your registration off at the Parish Offices. Costs this year is $15.00 per person, and everyone, over the age of 21, is invited to attend, couples and singles. If your last name starts with A-L, you are asked to bring an appetizer to share before hand. If your last name starts with M-Z, you are asked to bring a dessert to share after we come back from dinner. Hosts families are still needed, and if you’d be willing to host a group at your home, we’ll cover the costs for you and your spouse to attend, we’ll provide all the groceries, including the bread and wine, and you don’t need to bring an appetizer or dessert. Just come next Saturday morning to pick up your ingredients and follow the easy recipe. This is such a fun event. And it is great way to get to know your fellow parishioners! I think you’d have a great time if you came and joined us! Come on, and give it a try! The Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? dinner” is a reminder to all of us of how important it is to keep building community! We can really be Church if we don’t know one another. And to get to know one another, takes some effort on all of our parts. Don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to the people sitting around you at Mass on Sunday. Ask people their name at the Sign-of-Peace. Do not be afraid to visit with the people sitting next to you AFTER Mass. Use your parish photo directory! There are probably two books that I use every day of my life. The first one is the Bible. The second one has got to be our Parish photo directory. It’s a good book too. And it helps us to get to know one another. And we need to know one another! We pray this week for our Second Graders who will be making their First Reconciliations this coming Tuesday evening, January 20th at 7:00 PM, at a special Penance Service in the main sanctuary. First Reconciliation is a great reminder to all of us as Catholics, that we really do need to take advantage of the Sacrament of Reconciliation as much as possible. The power of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and of God’s incredible mercy is completely beyond our understanding. It is such a great gift! May sure that you and your family are taking advantage of it! We’re only going to be in Ordinary Time for a few weeks. Next month, we begin the Season of Lent, with Ash Wednesday on February 18th. My question is, is it wrong to look forward to Lent, just because of the Holy Name Society’s upcoming fish fries? I think we’d all better be thinking about much bigger sacrifices for Lent, than just giving up meat on Fridays! Have a great week! In Christ, Fr. Kevin You never know what makes some people tick, until they start to unwind. Welcome! For more than 19 years now, we have been building the Kingdom of God, not with a few people, but with everyone! Please accept my warmest welcome, and I pray you will come to know St. Maria Goretti as we all do—our Spiritual Home and Loving Community. We are glad you are here and look forward to meeting you! God Bless you. —Father Kevin 3 | St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church · Westfield, IN January 18, 2015 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time MINISTRY CONTACTS & PHONE NUMBERS Adult Bible Study Altar Rosary Society (Women’s Club) Angel Employment Network (AEN) Baptism Preparation Basic Christian Community (BCC) Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) - Men - Women Confirmation Confraternity of Christian Mothers Cursillo Donuts and Coffee Elijah Cup Eucharistic Adoration Gabriel Project HELP Shepherd’s Gate Holy Name Society (Men of Service) Italian Festival Knights of Columbus Landscape Volunteers Librarian/Historian Liturgy Committee Decorating Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion Readers Training Readers Scheduling Ministers of Welcome Music Ministry Scheduling Liturgical Ministers Servers for Mass Market Day Marriage Preparation (Pre-Cana, sponsors) Meals Ministry Natural Family Planning - Creighton Model Sympto-Thermal Method Nursery Co-op during Mass Parish Religious Education (PRE) Protocol In-service (All adults working with minors) Respect Life Ministry Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (RCIC) ROCK (Reaching Out to College Students) Cub Scouts (www.smgpack152.org) Boy Scouts Girl Scouts Silver Angels (55 & Older) Sisterhood of Marietta Sports Ministry Spring Fling St. Francis Ministry St. Philip Neri Oratorio Technology Support Group Temple Knights of the Holy Eucharist Wedding Coordinator Welcome Committee Young Adult Ministry Youth Ministry HOPE Coordinator TRUTH Coordinator David Bain 575-8945 Ruth Bloss 765-427-9535 Bill Lilegdon 814-5999 Gordon & Mary Ann Smith 843-1339 Melinda Brown 663-7654 Joe Domina 376-2844 Erika Bolcar 239-850-8706 Leslie Mimms 867-3213, ext. 1421 Molly Mirande 867-1848 Tom & Joan Scimeca 571-8510 Toby & Ashley Knott 607-8623 Ann Worcester 669-7095 Carol Alvarez 372-3713 Katie Svec 774-7832 Jennifer Murphy 867-3213, ext. 1225 Tara Quirke 372-6275 Chrissy Davis (Scheduling) 640-8742 Maryann Davis (Donations) 574-274-2144 Dan DeCraene 414-2901 Josh & Miranda Moriarity 614-353-7922 Jeff & Missy Hopp 867-4849 Dave Langenkamp 903-0532 Keltie Domina 569-1258 Joann Wack 773-8449 Jenny Sergio 269-267-5680 Carla Erickson 571-9662 Jolene McCann 566-1760 Kathy Lengerich 896-5898 Jeff Bowen 571-9035 Jim Wack 773-8449 Mark Worcester 753-0944 Leslie Franzen 867-3213, ext. 1209 Mary Cummins 501-0805 Jen Downing 896-9123 Melanie Perhacs 502-2168 Jennifer Taylor 262-443-4126 Kyle & Twyla Arnold 399-8038 Erika Haahr 402-2260 Kerry Lett 549-5280 BrieAnne Eichorn & Kathryn Niswonger 726-0777 Julie & Marc Weinkauf 669-7096 Jenny Muller 294-3107 Katie Barbour 867-3213, ext. 1139 Connie Anderson 867-3213, ext. 1203 Sara Phillips 371-2130 Dan Dessauer & Joan Scimeca 770-7190 Connie Anderson 867-3213, ext. 1203 Daria Gabany 371-3465 Jennifer Weber 201-0087 Ward LaPaglia 896-9887 Jamie Degler 896-1027 Dan Breen 896-1487 Jenny Sherman & Julie Weinkauf 331-6532 Pat Biddlecombe 867-3213, ext. 1226 Tina Uhland Doug & Valerie Ferry 418-7439 Mike & Jill Lyons 569-7728 Mike Treida 867-3213 ext. 1229 Corky Aiken 805-8149 Troy Pagán 867-3213, ext. 1218 Deacon Steve Miller 574-1705 Nancy Rumschlag 460-5565 Traci Bubalo 650-4663 Josh & Miranda Moriarity 260-235-0830 867-3213 Eric Gellenbeck 867-3213, ext. 1423 Rob Bloss 867-3213, ext. 1420 “Is there a place for me to serve here at St. Maria Goretti?” YES!!

If you have the gift of playing a piano, Mrs. Leslie Franzen, 867-3213, ext. 1209, would love to speak with you! You do not need to be 100% ready to play all of the music for an entire Mass—just willing to help out for a song or two! Do you think you can help? Please pray about sharing your talent and the gift of music with the Parish Family! EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Everyone is busy. There's certainly a lot of noise in our lives today. We all could use some quiet time. Why not try and take advantage of spending an hour with Jesus? Adoration may very well be the quietest place in all of Hamilton County! I promise that you won't ever regret giving an hour of your time and spending it with Jesus in Adoration. Bring a book, pray the rosary, read your Bible, thank Him...or, just sit in silence and listen to Him. We have “Critical Hours”— hours when no one has signed up to be with Jesus— Monday: 1 pm and 3 pm. Prayerfully consider taking one of these hours or joining another adorer at a convenient hour to you. Ultimately, we are working toward perpetual adoration! But that can’t happen without you. If your family has not yet checked out this fantastic faith opportunity, you should! Just visit https://www. symboloncatholic.org/register and enter parish code 1d3509 (zero, not an “O”)--that's it! You'll then get our parish subscription to 20 videos, study guides, 10 MP3s, and three e-books! Accessible from anywhere! In Christ, Brad Sponhauer Director of Discipleship P.S.

ANNUAL PARISH MISSION We are blessed to have Father Bill Garrott, O.P., leading our 2015 Parish Mission entitled God Are You on Line? The Mission will run for three evenings: February 23-25. There will be hospitality Tuesday evening after the Mission. Monday: Come to the Father! Father Garrott will share St. Thomas Aquinas’ view that the fruit of Christian baptism is to know that our heavenly Father loves us not because we’re good, but because He is good. Tuesday: Christ and Him Crucified leads us through Christ’s death on the Cross to the supreme sign of the Father’s love for us and the only true path to our own glorious transformation as children of God. Wednesday: Fire It Up! shares the truth of God’s love that Jesus came to share with the world and we are to share with others. Father Garrott currently resides in Charlottesville, Virginia, where Dominican Friars staff the parish and campus ministry for the University of Virginia.
