Sunday: Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time; Catholic Schools Week

Wednesday: St. John Bosco

Friday: The Presentation of the Lord; Groundhog Day; First Friday

Saturday: St. Blaise; St. Ansgar; First Saturday; Blessing of Throats; Blessed Virgin Mary

Join us in celebrating National Catholic Schools Week in the Archdiocese of San Antonio! Sunday - In Our Parish Catholic schools benefit all year long from the religious guidance, prayers and support parishes provide. Many parishes join in the National Catholic Schools Week celebration by devoting a Mass to Catholic education. Schools start the week by inviting parishioners and community members to parish-centered events and school open houses that feature their outstanding academic programs, religious education and service opportunities. Monday - In Our Community A central aspect of Catholic education is learning the importance of service to others. When students take part in service activities—both local and beyond—they demonstrate the values and faith they gain through their Catholic education and learn how to make the world a better place. When they observe how others serve the community, they gain an appreciation for how they can continue to serve others their entire lives.

Tuesday: Celebrating Your Students Schools celebrate students during National Catholic Schools Week by planning enjoyable and meaningful activities for them and recognizing their accomplishments. They encourage students to reflect on the benefits of Catholic education and how the grounding in faith, knowledge and service it provides will help them throughout their lives.

Wednesday: Celebrating the Nation On National Appreciation Day for Catholic Schools, students, families, educators and other Catholic school supporters communicate the value of Catholic education to government leaders. They share information with leaders on the significant contributions Catholic schools make to the nation and their role in preparing students to be good citizens. They pray for the nation and recognize all those who serve it. Thursday: Celebrating Vocations By focusing on faith, knowledge and service, Catholic schools prepare children to use their God-given talents to the fullest later in life. National Catholic Schools Week offers an opportunity for students to explore the many life paths that enable them to use their talents well in the service of God and others — by answering the call to a religious vocation, by nurturing a family through sacramental marriage, by volunteering in church activities and charities, and/or by pursuing a career that makes the world a better place. Friday: Celebrating Faculty, Staff and Volunteers On this day, schools will honor teachers and principals as well as administrators and staff who support them in their important work and thank the parents, grandparents, alumni, parishioners and school board members who provide volunteer service. Saturday: Celebrating Families Parents, guardians and other family members play a vital role in Catholic education. Not only do they volunteer at the school, they instill values and expectations for academic excellence in their children at home. We acknowledge the role of families in Catholic education and celebrate their contributions to the success of our schools on the last day of National Catholic Schools Week and all year long.

¡ÚNANSE A NOSOTROS PARA CELEBRAR LA SEMANA NACIONAL DE LAS ESCUELAS CATÓLICAS EN LA ARQUIDIÓCESIS DE SAN ANTONIO! Domingo - En nuestra parroquia las escuelas Católicas se benefician durante todo el año de la orientación religiosa, las oraciones y el apoyo brindado por las parroquias. Muchas parroquias se unen en la celebración de la Semana Nacional de Escuelas Católicas dedicando una Misa a la educación Católica. Las escuelas comienzan la semana invitando a los feligreses y miembros de la comunidad a eventos centrados en la parroquia y jornadas escolares que ofrecen sus sobresalientes programas académicos, educación religiosa y oportunidades de servicio. Lunes - En nuestra comunidad. Un aspecto central de la educación Católica es aprender la importancia del servicio a los demás. Cuando los estudiantes participan en actividades de servicio, tanto locales como más allá, demuestran los valores y la fe que obtienen a través de su educación Católica y aprenden cómo hacer que el mundo sea un lugar mejor. Cuando observan cómo otros sirven a la comunidad, obtienen una apreciación de cómo pueden continuar sirviendo a los demás durante toda su vida. Martes: Celebrando sus Estudiantes. Las escuelas celebran a los estudiantes durante la Semana Nacional de Escuelas Católicas al planear actividades divertidas y significativas para ellos y reconocer sus logros. Animan a los estudiantes a reflexionar sobre los beneficios de la educación Católica y cómo la base en la fe, el conocimiento y el servicio que proporciona los ayudará a lo largo de sus vidas. Miércoles: Celebrando la Nación. En el Día Nacional de Apreciación para las Escuelas Católicas, los estudiantes, las familias, los educadores y otros partidarios de la escuela Católica comunican el valor de la educación Católica a los líderes del gobierno. Comparten información con los líderes sobre las contribuciones significativas que las escuelas Católicas hacen a la nación y su papel en la preparación de los estudiantes para ser buenos ciudadanos. Rezan por la nación y reconocen a todos los que la sirven. Jueves: Celebrando las Vocaciones. Al enfocarse en la fe, el conocimiento y el servicio, las escuelas Católicas preparan a los niños para usar al máximo sus talentos dados por Dios más adelante en la vida. La Semana Nacional de Escuelas Católicas ofrece una oportunidad, para que los estudiantes exploren los muchos caminos de la vida que les permitan usar sus talentos al servicio de Dios y de los demás, respondiendo el llamado a una vocación religiosa, nutriendo a una familia a través del matrimonio sacramental, haciendo voluntariado en actividades de la Iglesia y obras de caridad, y / o al seguir una carrera que haga del mundo un lugar mejor. Viernes: Celebrando Facultad, Personal y Voluntarios. En este día, las escuelas honrarán a los maestros y directores, administradores y personal que los apoyan en su importante trabajo y agradecen a los padres, abuelos, ex alumnos, feligreses y miembros de la junta escolar que prestan servicio voluntario. Sábado: Celebración de las familias. Los padres, tutores y otros miembros de la familia desempeñan un papel vital en la educación Católica. No solo son voluntarios en la escuela, sino que inculcan valores y expectativas de excelencia académica en sus hijos en el hogar. Reconocemos el papel de las familias en la educación Católica y celebramos sus contribuciones al éxito de nuestras escuelas en el último día de la Semana Nacional de Escuelas Católicas y durante todo el año

He has also written many songs for the ACTS Community including “Behold”, “Be Still”, “Come to Me”, and “You Cannot Go Below My Resting Arms.” David’s Lenten composition “Purify My Heart” actually debuted here at Notre Dame Church several years ago. All are welcome to the Lenten Mission.

ministries because of rural terrain and a lack of

ministers. Your generosity makes it possible for them

to share in the life of the Church and grow closer to

Christ. Please be generous to the second collection!

To learn more about the collection, please visit

www.usccb.org/latin-america.

Este fin de semana es la Colecta para la Iglesia en América Latina. Muchas personas en América

Latina y el Caribe no tienen acceso a los programas y

ministerios de la iglesia debido a los terrenos rurales y

a la escasez de ministros. Su generosidad permite que

ellas compartan en la vida de la Iglesia y se acerquen

más a Cristo. ¡Por favor, sean generosos en la

Deadline for reservations-January 29, 2018

Pope Francis calls the church to be permanently in mission. He calls for everyone to be a missionary. We can participate in the mission through prayer.

The lines for the opportunity to see a rock star are indelibly long. The Star of all Stars, Jesus, humbles Himself to share a personal one on one hour, and only a few “wise virgins” fill up their lamps with this wondrous love freely given by Christ. How will He be able to recognize us at the end of our earthly exile if we become as the “foolish virgins’ who are too busy to show love and adoration for this awesome gift that is our Mighty Lord Jesus?

This hour is a great and unrepeated opportunity for a young parent or grandparent to teach their tender lambs our faith and reverence to our most humble Majesty, The Good Shepherd Jesus. Please join us in just one hour of adoration a week out of nearly 124 weekly hours to choose from.

An adorer is needed for:

Thursday 9:00 p.m.—10:00 p.m. Thursday 10:00 a.m.—11:00 a.m. Saturday 10:30 a.m.—11:30 a.m.

If you are able to help with this time, please call Veronica Fabro at (830)377-9117. El Papa Francisco llama a la iglesia para que esté en mission permanentemente. Nos llama a todos a ser misioneros. Podemos participar en la misión por medio de la oración.

Las colas para tener la oportunidad de ver a una estrella del rock están increíblemente largas. La Estrella de todas las Estrellas, Jesús, se humilla para compartir una hora de tiempo personal, y sólo unas cuantas “virgenes sabias” llenan sus lámparas con el amor maravilloso regalado por Cristo. Cómo podrá reconocernos al final de nuestra exilio terrestre si nos convertimos en “virgenes tontas” que están demasiado ocupadas para demastrar nuestro amor y adoración para este impresionante don que es nuestro Poderoso Señor Jesús.

Esta hora es una gran oportunidad que no se repetirá para que un padre o abuelo enséne a sus delicados (tiernos) corderos nuestra fe y reverencia hacia nuestra humildísima Majestad, El Buen Pastor Jesús. Por favor únanse en sólo una hora de adoración a la semana de las 124 horas semanales a escoger.

Tambíen es necesario un adorador los:

jueves 9:00 p.m.—10:00 p.m. jueves 10:00 a.m.—11:00 a.m. sabado 10:30 a.m.—11:30 a.m.

Si usted puede acompañar a Jesús este momento, por favor llame a Veronica Fabro al (830)377-9117.

This ministry makes and supplies Rosaries to the missions and military troops. Training supplies are provided. Once you learn to make the Rosaries, they can be made at home at your own pace.

If you feel called to be a part of this beautiful and faith sharing ministry, please contact Rita Funk at (830)258-6093.

My Dear Brothers and Sister in Christ, Countless lives are spiritually transformed and uplifted thanks to the generosity of individuals like you to the annual Archbishop’s Appeal. Pray on how you can make a sacrificial gift to the 2018 Archbishop’s Appeal. A gift will help continue the Appeal ministries that form and educate future priests, deacons, and catechists, as well as provide food, clothing and other social service programs that aid the most vulnerable in our community. If you have already responded to the Archbishop’s letter sent to your home, thank you for your generosity! If you have not yet had an opportunity, we invite you to pray and consider making a gift to this year’s Appeal. Pledge envelopes are available at the Pastoral Center Office (and/or in the vestibule) of the Church. Once completed, place your Appeal pledge envelope in the offertory during Mass or drop it in the mail.

2018 Archbishop’s Appeal Prayer - In the Spirit of Love

Loving God, As missionary disciples, we are sent to bring the Good News of Jesus to everyone in the Archdiocese of San Antonio.

Strengthen our faith, deepen our hope, and help us to respond in love for others through the Archbishop’s Appeal ministry.

We are very grateful for the many gifts and blessings we have received. May your Holy Spirit inspire us to share a portion of these gifts and blessings with those who need our help through the 2018 Archbishop’s Appeal.

Fill our hearts with your truth and enduring love so that, united as a community of faith, we may show through our actions that we truly are disciples In the Spirit of Love.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

BooksToGo from the Notre Dame Parish Library are available in the narthex of the church, near the bell tower door. It’s Still Lion vs Christian in the Corporate Arena, by Wally

Armbruster is an entertaining look at Christian ethics in the business world. Within the framework of the ten commandments and gospel teachings, and amusingly paced with cartoons, “Leo” and “Christian” have a lively dialog investigating the possibility of being a success at business and Christianity at the same time. “I know zilch about theology. I’m only interested in religion,” says Armbruster while wrestling with Thou shalt not kill. The sacramental dimension, not to mention the magisterium and social justice reinforcement that we enjoy in our beloved Church, is almost completely omitted in this book published by Concordia, tradi-tionally a Lutheran publishing house. But there is still plenty to learn about the challenges and possible triumphs of living as a Christian in commerce, and there is much sound teaching in the book, not least in the “daily prayer” on the last page, which includes the petition, “Lord, remind me that I am baptized – not “was” baptized – every minute of every day, especially from 9 to 5.”
