Pause and Pray in 2016

“Strive by your thinking, as well as by your praying,

to fulfill in your daily life what you say with your lips in church;

and make the Holy Spirit, who speaks through your lips, be glad to dwell in your heart.

Our words and our lives should be in agreement.”

Religious Education Calendar for February:

Sunday Classes: 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th. Tuesday Classes: 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd. Wednesday Classes: 3rd, 17th, 24th. No classes on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 10th. _________________________________________________

Parents’ guide for bringing their children to class and picking them up after class: Parents dropping off their children in grades 5-12 are to turn right off of Frances St. (not left) into the driveway between the Parish Hall and the Parish Center, and then drop their children off by the ramp at the Parish Center. Children are to exit their vehicle only on the right side next to the ramp, not the left side. The driveway is two lanes and children exiting on the left of their car could get hit by another car passing in the other lane. Parents are not to drop their children off on Frances St. or in the parking lot north of the church. Those that do will be given a refund on tuition and their children will be removed from the program.

Parents that have an issue with this may contact Susan Warner or Fr. Orosco in the Parish office. The safety of our children is much more important than the few minutes it might save a parent getting home. We ask everyone’s patience and cooperation. Thank you for complying with this request. ________________________________________________ Souper Bowl of Caring Confirmation students will be outside the Church collecting donations for the Souper Bowl of Caring this weekend. This program started in a small Southern state about 25 years ago to bring attention to the issue of hunger in America. Souper Bowl of Caring has grown to International size today, costs a Church or organization nothing to participate, and all donations stay in the local community. Each church or group decides which charity or group will benefit from the collection. Collections from previous years have been donated to the local food bank, the

Adolescent Unit at the State Hospital, and St. John the Apostle to help a local parishioner. This year, as in the past three years, the money that is collected will again stay in our parish to assist someone in need. Thank you in advance for your generosity. _________________________________________________ Lenten Sacrifice Project

Lent begins on Wednesday, February 10th. During the 40 days of Lent, we will follow in Christ’s steps by Praying, Fasting, and giving Alms (helping the poor and those in need.) Each child/youth in the Religious Education program will receive a Sacrifice Box in class this week. He/she will take the box home and display it in a prominent place in the home to remind him/her that we are all to make sacrifices during Lent. Every time a child/youth gives up a soda, candy, a movie, etc., the money that is save is to be placed in the Sacrifice Box. The box is to be returned to the child’s Religious Education classroom after Easter.

The Lenten project this year will benefit the St. Vincent De Paul Society at St. Martin’s in Forney. _________________________________________________

COMUNION Pescador de Hombres

Estrofa 1 1. Tú has venido a la orilla, No has buscado ni a sabios ni a ricos; Tan sólo quieres que yo te siga.

Estribillo Señor, me has mirado a los ojos, Sonriendo has dicho mi nombre, En la arena he dejado mi barca, Junto a ti buscaré otro mar. Estrofas 2-4 2. Tú sabes bien lo que tengo; En mi barca no hay oro ni espadas, Tan sólo redes y mi trabajo. 3. Tú necesitas mis manos, Mi cansancio que a otros descanse, Amor que quiera seguir amando. 4. Tú, pescador de otros lagos, Ansia eterna de almas que esperan, Amigo bueno, que así me llamas. *************************************************
