Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh.”
—Luke 6:20-21
STEWARDSHIP SAINT for February
Saint Cornelius the Centurion Cornelius the Centurion is described by the scriptures as a devout man who feared God, gave alms generously, and prayed constantly to God. According to the Acts of the Apostles (10:45) the first pagan converted to Christ was an officer of the imperial Roman army. Cornelius the Centurion is described by the scriptures as a devout man who feared God, gave alms generously, and prayed constantly to God (10:1-2). Cornelius and the Apostle Peter had simultaneous visions that eventually brought them together (10:5; 10:15) at Cornelius’ house and in the presence of Cornelius’ whole household. Peter assured Cornelius that God shows no partiality and briefly related the history of Jesus’ preaching and death. At this, the Holy Spirit was poured out on all who were listening, Jew and Gentile alike. Peter was so astounded that the Spirit was given to the pagans as well as the Jews that he readily acceded to Cornelius’ request for baptism for himself and his entire household. When some of the Jewish Christians back in Jerusalem learned of what had happened, they criticized Peter severely. Later a Council had to be convened, headed by James to settle the dispute (Acts 15). Peter was vindicated, and a new missionary outreach to the Gentiles was inaugurated. Cornelius’ feast day is February 4.

No Greater Love: A Biblical Walk Through Christ’s Passion Are you looking for some involvement in your parish this lenten season? Our adult faith sharing group is just finishing up our study of the old testament tabernacle and are now getting ready for our next study entitled “No greater love: A biblical walk through Christ’s Passion.” It will be a five session study and online video series that will take us step by step through Jesus’ passion from his agony and arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane all the way to Calvary.

There will be two different meeting times during the week (Tuesday and Thursday) to accommodate various schedules and our first meeting will be Tuesday, March 5th at 5:30 pm at the church center. The cost for the study will be roughly $30.

Important Notice There has been an email scam going around in our area wherein the sender claims to be a local priest. The scammers have gotten ahold of a list of actual priests in the Diocese of Boise and the Diocese of Spokane, which means that you might recognize the name of the priest the scammer is impersonating. In some instances, the email contains a vague message about needing a favor and asks the recipient to reply. In other instances, the email contains a plea for money, sometimes asking the recipient to buy a gift card and email them the numbers on the card. If you receive a message like these, do not reply to it. The best thing to do is flag it as spam and delete it. If you receive an email claiming to be from parish personnel and you are uncertain whether it is legitimate, please do not reply to it and call the parish office instead. Please be aware that St. Mary’s Church, St. Mary’s School, the St. Mary’s School Foundation, St. Vincent de Paul, the Moscow Food Bank, and our clergy and staff DO NOT solicit donations via email. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
