THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

JANUARY 27, 2019

First Reading: Nehemiah 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10 Ezra gathered the people and read to them from the book of the Law of God. He interpreted the law clearly, so that everyone understood what he had read. He then told them to go and rejoice in the Lord.

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:12-30 Paul explains that a body is composed of many different parts, and that each part has its' own purpose and is important. He compares this to the Church, describing how we are one body composed of many members. All members should show concern for each other and understand that we are all vital to the body as a whole.

Gospel: Luke 1:1-4, 4:14-21 Luke discusses his decision to write about the events he and the other disciples had witnessed. He begins by telling of Jesus reading a passage from the book of Isaiah, where the anointed one is portrayed. Jesus finished by telling the people that they had seen that passage fulfilled in their hearing

2019 CARDINAL’S STEWARDSHIP APPEAL IS OFF AND RUNNING

2019 CARDINAL’S STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY

This year’s Cardinal’s Stewardship Appeal has now begun. Those of us who have already received our letters in the mail realize the importance of making a sacrificial gift to this vital campaign which supports, among other things, the dignified retirement of our elderly priests like Msgr. Joseph Penna, who have given us the best years of their lives; the faith formation of our beautiful public and Catholic school children and the seminary training of our future priests like Deacon Ryan Muldoon. Last but certainly not least, our sacrificial donations enable our church, each year, to respond, in your name, to the often heart rending needs of the poor and helpless of our Archdiocese in their time of need. These needy men, women and children are really Jesus in the flesh, knocking on the doors of our hearts and pleading for our merciful and generous help. As I announce this year’s parish goal of $97,000.00, I am, of course, both mindful and also very grateful for the long term pledges some of you have made to the special Renew and Rebuild Campaign we ran two years ago. Believe me, your sacrifices have helped us to bring about some wonderful changes in our parish and still more are yet to come. However, the annual Cardinal’s Campaign is what provides the annual funding our Archdiocese needs in order to support the programs and services I listed above. Every year, fresh funding is needed in order to enable these programs to accomplish their vital work for yet another year. The cycle of asking never ends because the cycle of needs never ends. Thank you for stepping up and doing your part in helping our beautiful parish of Saint Aedan to be a leader in this year’s Cardinal’s Stewardship Campaign. May God bless you and your loved ones throughout this New Year. “Whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers and sisters, that you do unto me.” Prayerfully in Christ, Msgr. Emmet R. Nevin Pastor
