Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Did you miss DISCOVERING CHRIST last fall?
Dear Parishioners:
Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
As I type the column for the bulletin, there is a potential for
a Blizzard on the way! I hope and pray that, if the
prediction comes true, that you will all be safe and kept
warm in the comfort of your homes and that this will pass
without any harm to anyone. Let’s hope that as we
approach Ground Hogs Day we will NOT have any extra
days of winter weather!
Next weekend we will have our Women’s Cornerstone
Retreat here at Immaculate. Please keep in your prayers
the women on retreat as well as those on the team that the
Lord will touch all of them in a special way.
Also, Discovering Christ will be back again by popular
demand. Beginning February 10, you will have the
opportunity to participate in this wonderful program.
What a great way to celebrate the Lenten Season.
Enjoy the game!
Sincerely in the Lord,
Fr. Joe
First Friday Devotions
Friday, February 6th is the First Friday of the month.
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will follow the
12:10 PM Mass concluding at 2:00 PM with devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Benediction
of the Blessed Sacrament. All who can be present are encourage to
spend some time in prayer before the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
WINTER RECITAL SERIES
All are invited to some exciting recitals on Sunday afternoons in the coming weeks. On February 8, 15 and

FREE. Our first recital, on Sunday, February 8,
will be by our Chancel Choir’s Kristin Roney
in a vocal recital entitled: Love Notes. Kristin
has crafted a recital around pieces which were
written about or dedicated to their loved ones. What better
way could there be to break the shackles of winter than appreciating some great local talent right before dinner?!? Please plan now to not miss these varied programs,
including Opera Theater of Montclair, viola, classical guitar
and vibraphone. Please see www.icmusicministry.org for
more information on each event.

Stewardship Reflection:
Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
February 1, 2015
“Brothers and sisters: I should like you
to be free of anxieties.” —1 Corinthians 7:32
How much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by constantly
worrying about not having enough or attaining more things?
God won’t necessarily give you everything you want, but He
will provide everything you need. Try this— use the word
“pray”. Instead of the word “worry” in the future.

Guidelines for Stewardship suggest contributing 5% of weekly income to parish support, and 5% to other charities (e.g.,
Archbishop’s Annual Appeal). Thank you for your continued
support of your parish. If you are not already doing so, please
use your envelopes each week — only contributions in your
numbered envelope (or an envelope indicating your name/
address & #) or E-Debit are recorded for documentation required by the IRS. Please contact Marcie Alexander at the
Parish Office if you are not receiving contribution envelopes.
Some people think that we should give until it hurts. However, true
stewards give until it feels right. Our giving feels right when we
know that we can stand before God when He comes in His glory
and say to Him, “Lord, I gave all that You asked me to give.”
There are Mass Intentions available to remember loved ones or
someone recently deceased. A beautiful card showing our
church’s Resurrection stain glass window can be sent in remembrance and sympathy and the name of the loved one is announced
at the mass and in the bulletin. Available at the Parish Office.
Rosary Intentions for the Week of Feb. 2
Mon.: For peace in the world. For World leaders, people in the military,
and people persecuted and tortured.
Tues.: For the Holy Father, Bishops, priests, religious brothers & sisters. For
vocations to the priesthood, religious life.
Wed.: For the respect of life from conception to natural death and the
sanctification of marriage and family.
Thurs.: For our conversion and conversion of people who do not accept
Jesus as their Savior and God. Fri.: For the Souls in purgatory and deceased member of our Parish.
Sat.: For the sick of our families, Parish and communities.
We invite you to join us in praying the rosary following the 12:10
mass for the intentions of families, the world, and the Church. “Say
he rosary every day” —Our Lady of Fatima 1917

Prisoners. That prisoners, especially the young, may be
able to rebuild lives of dignity.
Separated spouses. That married people who are separated
may find welcome and support in the Christian community.
We celebrate the Feast of St. Blaise on Tuesday,
February 3rd. St. Blaise is known as the Patron Saint
of Throat Illnesses. Saint Blaise’s protection of those
with throat troubles apparently comes from a legend that a boy
was brought to him who had a fishbone stuck in his throat. The
boy was about to die when Saint Blaise healed him. You will
have the opportunity to have your throats blessed after
the 7:30 AM and 12:10 PM masses. St. Blaise, pray for us
that we may not suffer from illnesses of the throat and pray
that all who are suffering be healed by God’s love, Amen.

A man wakes up after sleeping
under an ADVERTISED blanket
on an ADVERTISED mattress
and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas
bathes in an ADVERTISED shower
shaves with an ADVERTISED razor
brushes his teeth
with ADVERTISED toothpaste
washes with ADVERTISED soap
puts on ADVERTISED clothes
drinks a cup
of ADVERTISED coffee
drives to work
in an ADVERTISED car
and then . . . .
refuses to ADVERTISE
believing it doesn’t pay.
Later if business is poor
he ADVERTISES it for sale.
