Sunday Liturgy Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Jonah 3.1-5, 10; 1 Corinthians 7.29-31; Mark 1.14-20 Focusing the Gospel To the point - This gospel (which begins this year's sequential reading from Mark) is a call - response episode similar to last Sunday's gospel from St. John. Here, however, the call comes within the context of Jesus' proclamation that now is "the time of fulfillment." "The kingdom of God is at hand" in Jesus who manifests God's abiding Presence, God's promise of forgiveness, God's unparalleled power to save. To enter into this "time of fulfillment," we must leave everything behind and answer Jesus' call to follow him. Connecting to the Gospel To the first reading - In both the first reading and gospel there is a call to repentance. Conversion of life is an ongoing requirement if we are to share in "the time of fulfillment" and faithfully follow Jesus. To experience - Fulfillment is a natural human goal; we all seek relationship fulfillment, financial fulfillment, job fulfillment. The "time of fulfillment" Jesus proclaims in the gospel exceeds all our human expectations. “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Mark 1.14-20 FATHER DUNNE MEMORIAL FUND: The parish is establishing a Fund in memory of Father James Dunne. Anyone who wishes to make a donation is asked to write the check to "St. Camillus - St. Virgilius Church" and on the memo line, please indicate "Father Dunne Memorial Fund". In the spirit of Father Dunne, this fund will be used to assist people of our parish. A Memorial Leaf for Father Dunne and a Memorial Brick will be ordered to be placed in St. Virgilius Church and St. Camillus Garden. FOOD PANTRY: The following items are needed: Pasta, sauce, tuna fish, canned vegetables, canned or dried fruit, juices, peanut butter, jelly, toilet paper, hand soap.

SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE: The two purposes of marriage are inseparable: they are two aspects of the same self-giving. The unitive purpose of marriage means that husband and wife participate in God’s own self-giving love. The two become one, giving mutual help and service to each other through their union. The procreative purpose recognizes that married love is by its nature lifegiving. Children are the supreme gift of marriage. When spouses exchange their promises of loving and permanent fidelity before the Church, their marriage covenant becomes a participation in the unbreakable covenant between Christ and the Church. The Holy Spirit binds the spouses together and enables them to perform acts of self-giving love to the benefit of themselves, their families, and the whole Church. In this way their marriage does more than symbolize Christ’s love; it makes that love present in the world. MARRIAGE: LOVE AND LIFE IN THE DIVINE PLAN SCSV PARISH ST. PATRICK’S DANCE: Sunday, March 8, in Springmann, 3 -7 pm. Live music by Jim Crowley & The Summer Wind Band, sit down corned beef dinner catered by Ludwig’s, beer, soda & setups.
