St. Polycarp: disciple of apostle St. John and friend of St. Ignatius of Antioch; faithfully cared for his flock despite being surrounded by pagans and a government opposed to his religion.
Chair of St. Peter the Apostle: Marking St. Peter’s establishment of the Holy See, today we thank God for his Church and pray for its preservation.

St. Peter Damian: a devoted and disciplined monk but was called to service as a bishop for may years and served as advisor to seven popes.
PRESIDENT’S DAY
PEOPLE OF THE COVENANT
If there is one word that stands out in today’s readings, it is
“covenant.” God’s faithfulness and goodness serve as examples
to us of how to live. Genesis tells the story of Noah and of God’s
covenant not only with all people, but with all of nature. Never will
the cleansing waters of the flood bring their destructive power to all
the earth again. The sign, the reminder to both God and nature, is the
rainbow in the heavens.
The psalm reminds us of this compassion of God, and begs God to
remember us, not because of our goodness, but because of God’s goodness and
fidelity to the promise. God shows us how to be good, not by decree, but by example.
TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — God’s covenant with Noah when he was delivered from the flood (Genesis 9:8-15).
Psalm — Your ways, O Lord, are love and truth to those who keep your covenant (Psalm 25).
Second Reading — The water of the flood prefigured baptism, which saves you now (1 Peter 3:18-22).
Gospel — This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand (Mark 1:12-15).

The PRESENT is the only time you have to merit Heaven and escape Hell. The PAST you cannot recall, and of the FUTURE, you are not sure. Use the present well and decide daily whether you wish to be in Heaven or in Hell.

Due to the outbreak of influenza and other
contagion, we will refrain from the sign of
Peace at all Masses. Thank you, Fr. Doug.
S CHOLA cantorum, or school of singing, at
Our Lady of Peace will provide an
opportunity for our young parishioners to learn
the nuances of the Liturgy and the music that
serves to elevate us to worship. Members will
gain experience singing chant and other sacred
music and also be taught to read music and
sight sing from the page. These are skills that will
last a lifetime and will likely open doors to other
musical and cultural opportunities.
Our schola will begin rehearsing immediately
following the 10:30am Sunday Mass for one hour
each week, and is currently open to members in
grades 6-12 (any school/homeschool). We will
begin putting our work into practice during the
seasons of Lent and Easter. Come join us for a
time of fellowship, learning, and singing!
Adult Choir will meet on Thursdays
7:00-8:30pm in the church. No
prior singing experience necessary.
Consider joining this grerat ministry.
