This Sunday St. Patrick School celebrates the beginning of Catholic School Week at the 9:30 a.m. mass. Tours of the school will be given afterwards at 10:30 a.m. for families with interest and questions that pertain to enrolling children in our school. St. Patrick School has earned National Blue Ribbon status as well as certified in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), and offers an education that combines Catholic faith and teachings with academic excellence.
A week from today the church celebrates the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord at the 8:00 a.m. mass. This feast is rooted in Old testament tradition. In acknowledging Christ to be the light to all we strive to live in the light faithfully and full of mercy.
Only a few weeks to go and spring training begins for us baseball fans. If you are still lucky enough to have a football team in this Sunday’s contests that determine teams to meet in the Super Bowl, I hope your team wins. I am pulling for the Bengals.
This Sunday’s Gospel and the next three Sundays will highlight the beginning of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in Matthew’s Gospel. One theme that runs through the Sermon is that the lowly shall be raised, which gives hope to people who suffer. It presents an opportunity for us to reflect upon someone we know who needs to hear a message about hope such as a troubled teen, someone who lost a job, the chronically ill, or an individual whom you believe is discouraged or depressed.
Have a great weekend.

In Christ's Love,
