III SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
III DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
In today’s Gospel, Jesus leaves Nazareth and goes to Galilee
when he hears of John the Baptist’s arrest. Matthew interprets
this event as the fulfillment of the prophecy in the first reading:
“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light... the
yoke that burdened them... you have smashed.” At times we feel
that we live and walk in darkness and bear heavy burdens.
Today’s readings tell us that we “have seen a great light” through
our faith in Jesus, who lifts our burden of sin.
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús se va de Nazaret a Galilea cuando
oye de la detención de Juan el Bautista. Mateo interpreta este
evento como la realización de la profecía en la primera lectura:
“La gente que anduvo en la oscuridad ha visto una gran luz... tú
quebrarás el yugo de su carga.” A veces sentimos que vivimos y
caminamos en lo oscuro y llevamos cargas pesadas. Las lecturas
de hoy nos dicen que “hemos visto una gran luz” a través de
nuestra fe en Jesús, quien levanta nuestra carga
del pecado.

PASTORAL MESSAGE

MENSAJE PASTORAL
Jesus calls his disciples. A rabbi or teacher does not seek out his followers, rather
followers or students seek out the teacher. Jesus does not say, “Come and learn the Torah
from me,” which is normally what a teacher would say. Jesus does not ask them to stay in
a particular place to be his disciple. They will be on the road. Jesus uses the life of these
men, fishermen, and calls them to a new life. They left everything immediately. They
enter into a personal relationship with Jesus. Follow me- but also join me, live with me,
eat what I eat, meet whom I meet. Share my life. Each disciple was called individually, as
we are called individually.
Jesús llama a sus discípulos. Un rabino o un maestro no busca a sus seguidores, al
contrario, los seguidores o estudiantes buscan al maestro. Jesús no dice, “Ven a aprender
la Tora de mí”, que normalmente es lo que diría un maestro. Jesús no pide que se queden en un lugar en particular para
ser su discípulo. Ellos estarán en el camino. Jesús utiliza la vida de estos hombres, pescadores, y los llama a una vida
nueva. Ellos dejaron todo inmediatamente. Ellos entran a una relación personal con Jesús. Sígueme – pero también
únete a mí, vive conmigo, come lo que yo como, encuentra a quién yo encuentro. Comparte mi vida. Cada discípulo
fue llamado individualmente, como somos nosotros llamados individualmente.

Peter and Andrew, James and John all respond immediately to the call of Christ. May I be open to God’s call and as ready to use
my talents in His service as those first disciples were!
Pedro y Andrés, Santiago y Juan todos responden inmediatamente al llamado de Cristo. ¡Que yo sea tan abierto al llamado de Dios
y listo a utilizar mis talentos en Su servicio como fueron los primeros discípulos!

ANNUAL MISSION APPEAL
PETICION ANUAL PARA MISIONES
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
The missionary who was assigned for our
mission appeal from LAST year will
finally visit with us next weekend. Sister
Lisa Marie Valentini, MSC, a Missionary
Sister of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
has been serving as a missionary for more
than 30 years. Sister just returned from
the Dominican Republic this past
Wednesday, where her Congregation was
hosting a group of young people for a
Mission Immersion Experience. Sister
Lisa lived and worked in the Dominican
Republic from the year 2000 until 2009
and she still plans mission experiences for
groups of young people from schools and
parishes throughout the United States. In
fact, in the past two years, young people
from St. Martha’s in Kingwood and St.
Paul’s in Nassau Bay have experienced
“mission” with her.
Sister Lisa was chosen by our Mission
Office to come to share some of her stories with us. By supporting the missionary
work of our Church, we are able to
actively participate in spreading the Good
News of a God who “so loved the world”
that He sent His own and only Son as our
Savior. Sister Lisa will speak to us on
behalf of her MSC Congregation, who has
Sisters serving in 22 countries throughout
the world. As Catholic Christians we are
constantly called to spread the Good
News to the ends of the earth. We will
also have the opportunity and the blessing
of participating in the Sisters’ service to
the “poorest of the poor” by giving generously in the second collection. Thank
you. God bless you!
La misionera que estaba asignada a nuestra
petición para misiones del año pasado
finalmente nos visitará el próximo
domingo. La Hna. Lisa Marie Valentini,
MSC, una Hermana Misionera del Sacratísimo Corazón de Jesús, ha estado sirviendo como misionera por más de 30 años.
La Hna. acaba de regresar de la Republica
Dominicana el miércoles pasado, donde
su Congregación albergó un grupo de
jóvenes para una Experiencia de Inmersión Misionera. La Hna. Lisa vivió y trabajó en la R.D. desde el 2000 hasta el
2009 y todavía planea experiencias misioneras para grupos de jóvenes de escuelas y
parroquias en todos partes de los Estados
Unidos. De hecho, en los dos años pasados, jóvenes de Santa Martha en Kingwood y San Pablo en Nassau Bay han
experimentado “misión” con ella.
La Hna. Lisa fue escogida por nuestra Oficina de Misiones para venir a compartir
algu-nas de sus experiencias con nosotros.
Al apoyar al trabajo misionero de nuestra
Iglesia, podemos participar activamente
en derramar la Buena Nueva de un Dios
que “amó tanto al mundo” que envió a su
propio y único Hijo como nuestro Salvador. La Hna. Lisa nos hablará en nombre
de su Congregación MSC, que tiene Hermanas sirviendo en 22 países en todo el
mundo. Como cristianos católicos estamos siempre llamados a derramar la
Buena Nueva hasta los confines de la tierra. También tendremos la oportunidad y
la bendición de participar en el servicio de
las Hermanas a “los más pobres de los
pobres” siendo generosos en la segunda
colecta. Gracias. ¡Que Dios le bendiga!
Almost 50 prayer shawls were given away
this fall. The knit/crochet groups will
gather twice this week to plan and
exchange ideas: Monday, January 26, 10
AM and Tuesday, January 27. 6:30 PM,
both in St. Theresa Room. Come to
either one or both if you are interested in
this ministry.

Today we celebrate the Conversion
of St Paul the Apostle. But did you know it’s also the
Memorial of St Bretannion, Bishop of Tomi? He was exiled
by Emperor Valens in the 300’s for opposing the Arian
Heresy against the Church. But he was so liked and his
congregation was of such strong faith, they forced the emperor to restore him
to his see in Scythia which is now Constanta in modern Romania on the
Black Sea

IN FOCUS

ENFOQUE
“I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me...”“Truly, as you did it to
the least of my brothers, you did it to me” Mt. 25:36-40.
We don’t have a food bank or a soup kitchen at St. Anne. We don’t have a clinic for poor people, a halfway house
for women, or a ministry to visit prisoners in jail. We can’t coordinate hospital visits all over Houston. We don’t
train new priests here, or develop curriculum materials for CCE or RCIA.
But we ARE doing this work, and much more. OUR support for the annual Diocesan Services Fund enables us to
achieve all these good works in our community. There are over 60 diocesan programs serving the young and the old, the sick, the hospitalized, and the imprisoned. Many programs serve people like us, enabling our children to make their sacraments, and enriching our
faith through formation. The diocese also provides support to our excellent liturgical ministries here at St. Anne.
The theme of this year’s Diocesan Service Fund is “Be rich in good works and ready to share.”
We are extremely blessed at St. Anne. We WANT to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and visit the sick. Not all of us are active
volunteers, but we can ACT by supporting the work of the Diocese, by giving to the Diocesan Service Fund, funding God’s work in
our community.
Cardinal DiNardo and his team estimate that it will take about $13.5M to continue this good work throughout the Archdiocese of
Galveston-Houston over the next year.
In support of this target, the Cardinal sets a goal for each parish, based on our annual collection. God has blessed us with a sizeable
collection at St. Anne, so our goal is substantial: $358,000.
We hope to raise this goal through pledges to Diocesan Service Fund. But if we don’t, the shortfall must be paid out of our parish
operating budget. This could result in cuts to our own parish services and goals.
We just barely made our goal for 2014, but we will EASILY raise this goal if every family participates in the Diocesan Services Fund.
Don’t leave this to your neighbor. God will surely bless each of us in our generosity.
It’s easy to give- You can give once, or you can make a pledge for the year, and contribute toward it until the end of the year. You’ll
receive reminders to keep you on track.
Maybe you can give $1 per day. It does not sound like a lot, but that would be $365 for the year. That would be amazing. Or maybe
just $1 per week would suit your budget. Think about how much good work you can afford to do this year.
Please pray while you consider your contribution. When the Lord calls on St. Anne parish, we will answer. We ARE rich in good
works and we are ready to share.
Next weekend, we will act on our faith by filling out our pledge cards, and by making good on our pledges. May God bless us all in our
efforts to support his work. Amen.

Third Grade Pays Tribute . . .
Judy Heumann, Ruby Bridges, and Cesar
Chavez all have something in common.
They are citizens who made a difference
in their community. In Molly Duncan’s
third grade classroom, the students are
learning about these great Americans by
making human monuments. The students
are teaching their classmates what these
citizens did to improve their community.
Ms. Duncan said “we started by building a
class monument to Rosa Parks and then
split into small groups”. The students
then selected one of four people to learn

about, Ruby Bridges, Judy
Heumann, Lois Marie
Gibbs, and Cesar Chavez.
The students read about
their person in their social
studies books and then
designed their monuments
and chose appropriate
locations based on their
research.
In English/Language Arts
class, the students
furthered their studies by
reading biographies of
other citizens that improved their community. Citizens like Sally Ride, Temple
Grandin, The Wright Brothers, Jackie
Robinson and Sam Houston were just a
small sampling of the many citizens the
“Estuve desnudo y me vistieron; enfermo y me visitaron; preso y me
vinieron a ver… En verdad les digo que cada vez que lo hicieron con el
más pequeño de mis hermanos, lo hicieron conmigo” Mateo 25:36-40.
No tenemos un banco de comida o una cocina para los pobres
en Sta. Ana. No tenemos una clínica para los pobres, una casa
para mujeres en problemas, ni un ministerio de visitar a los
prisioneros. No podemos coordinar visitas a los hospitales en
todo Houston. No entrenamos a nuevos sacerdotes aquí, ni
desarrollamos materiales para el catecismo o RICA.
Pero SI estamos haciendo estas obras y muchas más.
NUESTRO apoyo para el Fondo Anual de Servicios Diocesanos
nos permite alcanzar todas estas buenas obras en nuestra
comunidad. Hay más de 60 programas diocesanos sirviendo a
los jóvenes y a los ancianos, los enfermos, los hospitalizados y
los encarcelados. Muchos programas sirven a personas como
nosotros, permitiendo que nuestros hijos reciban sus
sacramentos y enriqueciendo nuestra fe a través de la
formación. La diócesis también provee apoyo para nuestros
excelentes ministerios litúrgicos aquí en Sta. Ana.
El tema de este año del Fondo de Servicios Diocesanos es,
“Sean ricos en buenas obras, y estén listos para
compartir.”
Somos sumamente bendecidos en Sta. Ana. QUEREMOS
vestir a los desnudos, dar de comer a los hambrientos, y visitar
a los enfermos. No todos somos voluntarios activos, pero
podemos ACTUAR apoyando el trabajo de la Diócesis,
contribuyendo al Fondo de Servicios Diocesanos, financiando
el trabajo de Dios en nuestra comunidad.
El Cardenal DiNardo y su equipo calculan que se llevará
$13.5M a continuar estas buena obras en toda la Arquidiócesis
de Galveston-Houston para el próximo año.
third graders chose. Following MLK day,
the students learned how MLK changed
his community and built another class
human monument and plaque to him.
Para apoyar a este objetivo, el Cardenal establece
una meta para cada parroquia, basado en nuestra
colecta anual. Dios nos ha bendecido con una
colecta considerable en Sta. Ana y por eso
nuestra meta es sustancial: $358,000.
Esperamos levantar estos fondos con compromisos al Fondo de
Servicios Diocesanos. Pero si no lo hacemos, tenemos que
pagar lo que falta de nuestro presupuesto de operaciones de la
parroquia. Esto puede resultar en recortar nuestros servicios y
metas parroquiales.
Muy apenas alcanzamos nuestra meta para el 2014, pero
FACILMENTE alcanzaremos esta nueva meta si cada familia
participa en el Fondo de Servicios Diocesanos. No deje esto a
su prójimo. Dios de seguro nos bendice a cada uno de nosotros
por nuestra generosidad.
Es fácil donar. Puede donar una vez, o puede hacer un
compromiso para el año, y contribuir a su compromiso hasta el
fin del año. Usted recibirá recordatorios para mantenerse al
corriente.
Tal vez puede donar $1 por día. No se oye como mucho, pero
serían $365 por el año. Esto sería increíble. O tal vez sólo $1
por semana se ajusta mejor a su presupuesto. Piense cuántas
buenas obras puede hacer este año.
Por favor ore mientras considera su contribución. Cuando el
Señor llama a la parroquia de Sta. Ana, responderemos.
SOMOS ricos en buenas obras, y estamos listos para
compartir.
El próximo domingo, actuaremos en nuestra fe llenando
nuestras tarjetas de compromiso, y cumpliendo bien nuestro
compromiso. Que Dios nos bendiga a todos en nuestros
esfuerzos por apoyar su trabajo. Amén.

SPONSORS FOR RCIA—Our RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) process has begun. At this time we have 16 individuals
who are seeking to join the Roman Catholic Church. Many of these who are thinking of entering the Church are in need of a sponsor.
The role of a sponsor is one who will serve as a bridge for the candidate or for the catechumen to the greater community of the
Church. Your role is to become the extension of the parish and the universal Church to them. You are not expected to know every
aspect of the Church’s teaching, but rather simply to be a guide, an example of a Catholic living your faith as best as you can. Some of
the ways that you will do this is by sharing prayer, listening, and walking with them through the formation process to become
Catholic. A sponsor is to be over the age of 16, to have been Confirmed, receives Holy Communion and who leads a life of fait h in
keeping with the Church, and whose marriage is recognized by the Catholic Church, if married. If you are interested in becoming a
sponsor, a meeting will be held on Thursday January 22 at 7:00 PM in the St. Anthony Room. Please contact Cary Ann Nunn, at 713525-4234 or email [email protected]
The following projects are in need of volunteers to assist in bringing them to the community. To help with an upcoming project and
