FATHER’S CORNER Father Mike
An interesting transformation takes place in today’s gospel. When Jesus enters Peter’s boat, he is addressed as “Master.” After the miraculous catch of fish, he is called “Lord.” In Luke’s gospel this change is intentional and significant. In Luke, those who do not
believe in Jesus address him as
“Master or teacher.” Those
who believe in Jesus address
him as “Lord.” The catch of
fish just didn’t change Peter’s
luck, it changed his life.
Although our encounters with
Jesus may not be as dramatic as
Peter’s, if we are attentive, they
will change our lives as well.
LA ESQUINA DEL PADRE
Es una transformacion
interesante en el evangelio de hoy.
Cuando Jesús entra en el barco de
Pedro, se le llama "Maestro".
Después de la captura milagrosa
de peces, se le llama "Señor".En el
evangelio de Lucas, este cambio es
intencional y significativo.
En Lucas, los que no creen en
Jesús se dirigen a él como
"Maestro". Los que creen en Jesús
se dirigen a él como "Señor".
La captura de peces simplemente
no cambió la suerte de Pedro,
cambió su vida. Aunque nuestros
encuentros con Jesús pueden no ser
tan dramáticos como los de Pedro,
si estamos atentos, también
cambiarán nuestras vidas.

DATE CHANGE - Starts FEBRUARY
See how the Mass brings us out of the fallen world and into the heavenly realm, how it resonates with a call from God and a response
from his people, the Church and, most importantly, how we are intimately joined with the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus through the Holy Eucharist.
The Mass will help you understand how to fully, consciously, and actively participate in the source and summit of the Christian life. Join us on Sundays at 6:30pm (Feb. 24 - Apr. 7) in the John Paul II room. Any questions, please call Pam Haddock at (208) 722-5709.

New Year Bible Study
The conflicts of the early Christians in Corinth are in many ways similar to
our struggles today as Christians. They, too, witnessed division, scandal, immorality, persecution and other trials. In response, St. Paul taught the Corinthians about the Church as the Body of Christ, introducing them to the most powerful gift of all: the Eucharist. Join us in the Study of First Corinthians: The Church and the Christian Community. We meet in the small conference room across from office beginning January 8 at 7:00 pm every Tuesday ~ last class on March 5. For more information or to register for the study, contact Hans & Janene Nederend at 208-573-2955 or [email protected]
Do you want to get to know yourself better, experience the presence and love of Jesus Christ, and become part of a loving and caring Christian community? If so, Cursillo is for you. Catholics, 18 years of age and older, are able to attend. The men’s Cursillo is
scheduled from February 21-24, 2019 and the women’s Cursillo is scheduled from February 28-March 3, 2019; both will be at the Nazareth Retreat Center. Interested men should contact Braden Stauts at 208-340-2814 or [email protected] and women should contact Cecilia Obrochta at 208-890-2066 or [email protected].
Attention Married and Engaged Couples: Has anyone ever clearly explained for you WHY the Catholic Church does not approve of contraception? For most of us, the answer is NO. Learn about your faith and discover a natural method of family planning that goes beyond the physical. Through Natural Family Planning, fertility is viewed as a reality to live, not a problem to be solved. NFP calls for shared responsibility by husband and wife, eliminates the use of harmful hormones and chemicals and helps couples celebrate God's vision of human sexuality. A Couple to Couple League, 3-part course in the scientific sympto-thermal method will be held at St. Mark's Catholic Church, Fridays, Feb. 22, Mar. 22, and May 3 from 6:00-8:30 . Pre-registration at ccli.org is required by Feb 17. Online courses are also available. Contact Jeff and Erika Cowman at [email protected] for details.

St. Vincent De Paul In the Gospel today, the disciples decide to leave everything to follow Jesus. We are also called to follow Jesus, who tells us that “whatever you do to the least of mine, you do for me.” your gift to the poor can bring the love and peace of Jesus to those who live fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.
