THE WORD OF GOD THIS SUNDAY: For this Sunday, the Fifth in Ordinary Time, the Scriptural readings begin with a passage from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah where the prophet shares part of his vocation story. In the second reading, from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians, where we hear of the core message of the Gospel. In the Gospel, we see the disciples of Jesus leave everything to follow Him. INFORMATION ON LENT, HOLY WEEK AND EASTER: A schedule providing information on the many opportunities to observe Lent was recently mailed to every household in the parish. Please read the material carefully and choose what will help you deepen your spiritual life this Lent. LENTEN REGULATIONS: Lent begins on Wednesday, February 10th (Ash Wednesday). Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. The Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence in the United States. The obliga-tion of abstinence (refraining from eating meat) begins at the age of 14. The law of fasting (limiting oneself to one full meal and two lighter meals) obliges all between the ages of 18-59. All should consider this obligation seriously. SYMPATHY: The sympathy of the parish is extended to parishioners Frances Weber Weaver at the death of her grandson, Daniel Weaver and Joseph Stahovic at the death of his wife and parishioner, Gina Stahovic. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. RECYCLE YOUR PLASTIC BAGS! Jr. SKY needs your plastic grocery bags to repurpose into crocheted sleeping mats for the homeless...cool! Drop off at the front desk, Attn: Jo Scheller. For questions or to join us on this project, email Jo at [email protected].

SOUPER BOWL OF CARING: More than 20 years ago, the Souper Bowl of Caring began with a simple prayer from a single youth group. Since that day, more than 98 million has been raised for local charities across the country around Super Bowl weekend. Through this mission, young people learn what it’s like to make a positive difference in the world - as they collect food, raise money and volunteer to work in charities to those in need. Be part of this move-ment that is sharing God’s love with those in need. Volun-teers from SKY Youth Ministry will be collecting donations after Mass. Every dollar donated goes to the Kilian Cup-board.

AN INVITATION FROM SAINT KILIAN LADIES OF CHARITY: Is Jesus calling you to serve him? Do you have compassion for others? Do you want to share your faith, hope, love? The Ladies of Charity invite you to join them. Contact: Judy Langdon 724 625-2521.

COMMUNION HOSTS AND ALLERGIES: Our hosts for communion are baked by the Cavanagh Company who uses only whole wheat flour and water to produce altar bread. The facility does not bake or

package any other product so there is no chance of cross contamination possible. They also do not use any baking sprays so their breads are 100% wheat flour and water. More information can be found on their web-site at www.cavanaghco.com.

Also, the parish can provide low gluten hosts for those parishioners who are not able to ingest gluten. These hosts are baked by the Benedictine Sisters. The low gluten bread is made with wheat starch and water. The gluten content is less than 0.01%. It is made, stored, and shipped in a designated area free from all other wheat products. More information can be found on their website at www.altarbreadsbspa.com.

MUSIC MINISTRY

Our Liturgy of the Word this weekend reminds us that we are called forth to spread the Good News. Liturgical Ministry is one way in which many parishioners can answer that call. I’d like to share part of a paragraph that was written regarding parish min-istry. “The average Catholic parish in north America has fewer than 10 percent of its registered members involved in various parish activities. Generally, the activity involving the largest number of parishioners is some form of liturgical ministry. In order to keep the ministries from mere “doing” and clearly understanding the liturgical ministries as our response to God’s presence and call, we must include a spiritual component in our preparations for the ministry. That is, we must ensure that our liturgical ministers understand that ours is a ministry, not a “job” and that we are called to live the deep meaning of the ministry. By growing in this spiritual dimension of the liturgical ministry, we grow in our awareness of God’s abiding presence as well as in our awareness that our call to serve reaches way beyond the hour or so that we spend weekly in church.” If you have an inter-est in any liturgical ministry, please see either of our priests, deacons or me, and we will gladly guide you to the best way to serve the parish. (portions reprinted from Living Liturgy, Liturgical Press Collegeville, MN)

FOOD DONATIONS

Due to your generosity, for the month of January the Food Pantry helped feed 147 families/319 individuals in need. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul extends a heartfelt THANK-YOU for your continued support of this ministry!

The Food Pantry is always appreciative of your donations (please do check to make sure donated items have not ex-pired). This week, we are most in need of the following items: cereal, canned chicken, canned Ravioli (meat and cheese), SpaghettiOs, Tuna Helper (all flavors), canned fruit, applesauce and pasta sauce.

The Food Pantry, located in the basement of the old rectory in Mars at 205 Clark Street, is open every Wednesday from 3:00 until 6:00 pm. FELLOWSHIP DINNERS

Over 140 dinners were served at our Fellowship Dinners in January. Special thanks to the many volunteers from these Parish groups who sponsored dinners last month: SKPS Moms, Knights of Columbus, The Empty Nesters CFM, Marilyn & Friends, and the Ladies Bible Study.

While our 2016 calendar is booked each week with dinner sponsors, volunteers are always welcome to help out! Sign-up to volunteer on the “Volunteer Spot” on our Parish web-site.

These Wednesday evening meals are of great help to our neighbors and provide food and fellowship for those in any need. Dinner is served from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. every Wednesday in the Parish Hall (next to the church in Mars on the corner of Clark and Cherry Streets).

SAINT KILIAN SPORTS THIS WEEK AT HOME

The year has been going by so fast! In Physical Education the students have been working very hard to further their skills and knowledge of sports and games. In all grade levels we have been participating in light competitive games to stress rule following and sports-manship. These activities have also provided the arena to show how to incorporate God into the sports and activities we love. The students are receiving lessons on how to play by honoring the rules. We are learning that one must play with dignity and respect to be considered a winner no matter what the score is. The students are even making their own connections to sporting events where they can identify poor sports and their actions. I am very proud to see the students support each other and encourage each other to improve through these activities. The elementary levels have been participating in games with multiple rules and steps. They are taking the loco mo-tor skills they have learned and applying them to now hav-ing to manipulate objects and use their coordination to ac-complish a goal for the team. Middle school students are participating in team building activities that foster cooperation and fulfilling a specific role in the team. They are also participating in scored activities to emphasize winning and losing in respectful ways. The lesson that follows any competition is the emotional health necessary to be excited to win but not brag or belittle others, and the ability to lose and not resort to unsports-manlike behavior. As we begin each activity with the Dioc-esan Athletic Prayer, the kids see Christ in what we do and they examine their actions to keep it that way.

THE CARING QUILT MINISTRY: Change in schedule for February and March. Our work day will be February 13, instead of our usual 4th Saturday due to our Lenten Day of Reflec-tion. In March, we will meet on March 5th. The 4th Saturday of March is Easter weekend. Quilts are always available at the Parish Center. If you have any questions/comments, please contact Betsy Pfendler at [email protected] or 724-766-7435. Thanks for all the continuing support!

Countdown to World Youth Day 166 Days

Thank You for buying hoagies to support us! We raised $3,200 towards our pilgrimage to Poland to see Pope Francis. Unsold hoagies were donated to the Light of Life Mission.

Next Pilgrim formation meeting with Fr. Levi will be held on February 28th at 7:00 p.m.

Please pray for the teens, young adults and chaperones attending WYD: Brendan, Patrick and Maureen Gormley, Sean Farrell, Jake Ball, Paul Marshall, Jo Scheller, Lauren DuPlessis, Lillia Smyers, Lena Clerici, Richard Heilman, Michaela Morreale, Father Levi Hartle.

The Wednesday Women’s Bible Study meets every Wednesday from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. at the Parish Hall in Mars. Beginning Febru-

ary 17th (through Lent) the group will begin the study of the 7 Deadly Sins, 7 Lively Virtues. Join the Bible Study for this engaging presentation con-cerning the seven deadly sins, those great spiritual blocks that inhibit our flourishing in relationship with God and one another. Based on Dante’s writings, the seven deadly sins correspond to the seven stories of Dante’s Mt. Purgato-ry. Pride, envy, anger, sloth, gluttony, avarice and lust are all presented as patterns of dysfunction within us that lead to unhappiness. Study guides can be purchased at the parish center or at Bible Study for $15. Call Chris Hespenheide at 724-316-1309 for more information.

Our NEXT Jr. SKY is on Saturday, Feb 20th from 6:00-8:45 in the cafeteria. Dinner and open gym from 6:00-6:30, then it’s a special guest STEM night with Scott

Donnelly. Join us for this special event! No supplies needed, just your enthusiasm. All 5th-8th graders and friends wel-come.

BINGO at St. John’s service project is on Saturday, Feb 20th from 1:30-3:30 pm. Space is limited to 10 youth. Email Jo at [email protected] to sign up.

SAVE THE BAGS! We need thousands of plastic grocery bags for our March service project. The bags will be cut into strips and rolled into balls to make plastic “yarn” which will be used to crochet mats the homeless can use to sleep on (waterproof and sturdy). If you

can cut them at home, email Jo.

ALTERNATIVE Jr. SKY—did you know you can substitute service projects or religious events done on your own for a Jr. SKY event? This is for those youth who completed the summer session of CCD or are currently in the Family Cen-tered Program. Once the service project/event is complete you submit a paragraph reflection telling me what you did and how it relates to your faith life. For more information, email Jo.

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 in fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.

If you know of a family in need, please contact the Society of St. Vincent de Paul by calling the parish office.

SOUPER BOWL OF CARING - THANK YOU! Thanks to the youth who came out this weekend to hold a pot and collect money for those less fortunate! All donations will support the Kilian Cupboard Food Pantry.

LENT BEGINS Come to our Lenten Sessions to explore more about our Faith and our incredible Savior. Bring your questions. Bring your curiosity. Prepare to be amazed at just how much God loves YOU.
