Religious Education News
The following is a message from Bishop Malone that came
via email this past week. Bishop Malone is the chairman of
the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth. While it is
addressed to his fellow members of that committee, I bring
the letter to your attention because its points are well worthy of our consideration, both clergy and laity alike.
Schedule: Classes resume Sunday, March 1st.
Catholic Trivia Answer: The “Alleluia” and the “Gloria”
are missing from Sunday Mass during Lent
..
Saint Quote of the Week: “The patient and humble endurance of the cross whatever nature it may be is the highest work we have to do.”
St. Katherine Drexel, Feast Day March 3rd.
Dear Brothers,
Greetings as we approach the holy season of Lent and the
annual commemoration of our Lord’s Passion.
Catechism Quote of the Week: 1646 “By its very nature
conjugal love requires the inviolable fidelity of the
spouses. This is the consequence of the gift of themselves
which they make to each other. Love seeks to be definitive; it cannot be an arrangement “until further notice”.
The “intimate union of marriage, as a mutual giving of two
persons, and the good of the children, demand total fidelity
from the spouses and require an unbreakable union be-
As you may be aware, a film called Fifty Shades of Grey is
being released in theaters on February 13, 2015. The books
and film, marketed as a romantic story, are a graphic portrayal of a young woman agreeing to be abused and degraded in a sexual relationship.
Leaders in the Religious Alliance Against Pornography
(RAAP) have stated, “The contrast between the message of
Fifty Shades of Grey and God’s design for self-giving and
self-sacrificing love, marriage and sexual intimacy could
not be greater.” As you know, we as bishops have spoken
with a united voice against domestic violence, and in particular, violence against women (see When I Call for Help,
1992, rev. 2002). We have also emphasized the need to
overcome the exploitation of sex and violence in communications (see Renewing the Mind of the Media, 1998),
VOCATION Peter, James and John had a ‘mountaintop
experience’ with Jesus. So too do those who are faithful to
Jesus, experiencing His marvelous presence as they follow
in His footsteps as a priest, deacon, brother or sister. If you
think God is calling you, call Father Walter Szczesny at
847-5535. Visit www.buffalovocations.org! for our

...This is an opportunity for us to remind the faithful of the

moral reprehensibility of all domestic violence and sexual
exploitation.

FINDING COURAGE FOR A SECOND CHANCE
After finding himself on the wrong side of the law and
serving prison time, Keshaun knew he wanted a brighter
future and needed the right resources. His uncle, an agency
employee, told him about Catholic Charities’ Work and
Gain Education and Employment Skills Program. He was
able to complete job readiness training and hospitality
training through the Center for Transportation and Excellence and was offered a six-week paid work experience
with Catholic Charities’ Maintenance Department. “I know
what I did, and I know that is not the life I want to live,”
said Keshaun. “All I needed was a chance to prove myself.” Find Good Within. Share God’s Goodness. Watch
Keshaun tell his story in the brief “Find Good Within”

With gratitude and prayers for your ministries, I am Frater-
