Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The apostolic ministry of Christ’s church is delivered to the world through the faithful ministry of the Bishops and Priests, but they are assisted by the Holy Deacons and the whole people of God. Deacons were appointed by the Apostles to assist them in their ministry. They were appointed to help teach the faith and to minister to the needy. For many centuries the ministry of the diaconate had died out, but at the Second Vatican Council it was rejuvenated and we are now served by many excellent men who have been called to this service. They serve well, but we could use some more! If you have ever felt called to the ministry of deacon please come and let’s talk! Christ’s ministry in the world, is not limited to men who are ordained however. The faithful serve Christ and his church as religious sisters, brothers, and consecrated laypeople. In addition to the religious, all of the baptized are called to share in this ministry. The New Testament speaks of the “priesthood of all believers”. By this phrase St. Paul did not mean that every Christian is a priest. Instead he meant that every Christian shares, to some extent, in the priestly calling. Priests forgive formally and sacramentally. All the baptized are called to live a life of forgiveness and reconciliation in the world. Priests preach the word formally and sacramentally. All the baptized are called to preach the joyful gospel of Christ in their words and works. Priests are called to formally take authority over evil in the world. All the baptized are called to share in the spiritual battle and engage with Satan in the great war for souls. Priests administer the sacrament of healing. All the baptized are called to be a healing, reconciling and forgiving presence in the world. The people of God are “a priestly people” and the whole church operates in the world corporately in a priestly fashion. Each of us in our own calling, and all of us as the Body of Christ are like yeast in the dough or salt in the casserole. We are there to spice things up, bring life to this tired old world and point the way to heaven. As Christ’s priestly presence in the world the church lives authoritatively and serves as a light in the darkness…a city set on the hill which cannot be hidden. Your Pastor, Fr. Longenecker

Spiritual Adoption
Week 38—It is hard to say for sure how big your
baby will be, but the average newborn weighs in at
a little over 7 pounds and is about 20 inches long.
Your baby will continue to grow with every passing
day. His skull bones are still
separated and they will stay that
way to allow the bones to
compress enough to fit through
the birth canal during labor. It is
almost time for Baby’s big day!
There will be Religious Education classes (K5-8th grades) this Sunday, January 29, 2017, at 9:00 am.
