January 24, 2016 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Pastor’s Notes:

On the feast of the Holy Family, one of the cluster of feasts around Christmas, Pope Frances

had this remark during one of his addresses: “The true joy that's experienced in the family

isn't something random or accidental. It is a joy that is the result of the deep harmony

between people, who savor the beauty of being together, of supporting each other on life's

journey," he said.

That joy also is always rooted in "God's presence, his welcoming love, mercy and patience toward everyone. If one doesn't

open the door of the family to God's presence and his love, the family loses harmony, individualism prevails and joy is

extinguished," he said.

My take-away from this is that it is something both important and intentional that we need to bring to our family life. That

something is a God-centered Charity; caring for others and keeping God at the center of our families.

Nowadays, we have so bought into the individualism of modern society that we now are seeing the negative effects of it going

“too far.” Individualism is great when dealing with personal achievement, and in difficulty to insist on our personal and

individual dignity as human persons. However, we can take it too far and obliterate the balance brought about by an under-

standing that as individuals we must contribute to the common good, else we will devolve into a sick narcissism. By this I

mean that we will have as our only, or even dominant point of reference the self. When we do this, we begin to ask selfish

questions like “What’s in it for me?” This is detrimental to family life and our society.

In one family I know, where every request for a contribution to the family in terms of chores is met with “How much money

will you pay me to do that chore?” What’s in it for ME?” This is not right. We need to teach our children (and adult children

also need to learn) that we are responsible to each other, to help one another, to contribute without counting the cost, to be

responsible to the good of family--and by extension to society and to the Kingdom of Heaven.

A second negative influence that modernity has brought to our families is secularism. The goal of secularism is to remove any

religious motivation or discourse from the body politic. When we opt for secularism we choose to silence the voices of the

Faithful. The antidote to a God-less society is keeping God at the center of the family. This can begin in very simple ways:

prayer together in the morning, at meals, at times of trouble, and in the evening before bed. Weekly Mass attendance on

Sunday is directed at combating godlessness. But it goes further than that. When we discipline our children, bringing God’s

moral laws (the 10 commandments, the two great commandments and the beatitudes, to name only three) into the teachable

moment is a way to be God-centered. To read from scripture or some spiritual reading and discuss it briefly, every dinner time

is another way to contextualize daily activity in the faith. Of course, this presumes that your family has dinner together every

day. Perhaps fewer stops to grab something at the local fast-food might help with that? Or if there is a game or some other

activity, planning for the WHOLE FAMILY to attend and to eat before or after would ensure the focus on family and of God.

It takes planning, and it takes sacrifice--but both of these are good for the soul.

When God is at the center, and charity is the goal in the family, we will keep our individualism in check by always seeking to

find how we can best contribute to the common good of the family, to society and to the Kingdom of God.

Sincerely in Christ,

Fr. Don Malin

Faith Formation, Journey of a Lifetime...

During this Year of Mercy, grab the CD "7 Secrets of Divine

Mercy" from the kiosk in the narthex, and listen to best-selling

author Vinny Flynn, as he shares his 7 secrets and Christ's

message of love for each of us.

“SYMBOLON” The Catholic Faith Explained!

AUGUSTINE INSTITUTE TM

The early Church, Christians described their Creed,

“Statement of Faith” as a symbolon, “seal” or

“symbol of the faith.” This DVD series with study

guide is a 20 week course that can be a full study or

a pick and choose of the study you want to learn

more about. We are called through our baptism to be

on the mission of Jesus Christ and the Church’s new

evangelization. Many feel inadequate to talk freely

about the faith and so we don’t. This course is used by

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults and Children

teams, i.e., RCIA and RCIC. “BE ON JESUS’

TEAM”

SCHEDULE is in the narthex: the study dates,

times, and specific study.

Contact: Deacon Leo Truscott, Immaculate Heart of

Mary, 970-242-6121 to register or get more infor-

mation. Study books are available or just sit through

the course.

Fall and Redemption

11:00 am in St. Jude Room

Wednesday Evening: January 27th, 5:30 pm to

7:00 pm in St. Jude Room

Wills

I wonder if we need a new will or

trust as we have a new grandchild? I

wonder if our old will is up-to-date?

I wonder if a will and insurance will be enough to

take care of our children if something should happen

to me or my husband?

Maybe we’ll find out on Saturday, February 6th at

10am at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish.

Another successful year hosting men

from Homeward Bound has been completed

thanks to the help of many people who volunteered

their time and/or donated food for the two weeks we just

finished. The men are now the guests of Redlands United

Methodist Church for the next 2 weeks.

We want to especially thank those who volunteered to

stay overnight: Robert Bray, Tim Casey, Dave Duncan,

Bobbie Evans, Pete Fregetto, John Heideman, Miles

LaHue, Dave Lancaster, Bart Lockhart, Kyle Lockhart,

Dave Murphy, Bob Stepan, Peg Stepan, Pete Meyers,

Rick Peterson, Ann Peterson, Chris Pipken, Paul Redig,

Brian Sargent, Tom Sargent, Dennis Simpson, Mitch

Schierland, Cliff Ulman, Zulema Valencia, Art Weber,

Marv Walworth, Ken Wesolowski, John Withers, Gen

Yanowich, Angie Zdunich and Mike Sewell.

Another special thanks to those who prepared breakfasts

and dinners: Members of the Knights of Columbus,

members of the Ladies Auxiliary, Judy Campbell, Donna

Mae Donohue, Jeanie MacArthur, Mary Knob, Nancy

McCarroll, Barb Davis, Leslie McDonald, Shauna, Karen

Sjoberg, David Wells, Joe Doak, Julia Marston, Alex

Schmidt & family, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith, Barb

Walders & family, Judy Spillane, Jane Lake, Anita

Martinez & friends from St. Ann’s, Andrea Siegel &

family, Melissa Scott, Jan & Steve Gammill, Dennis &

Joan Haberkorn, and Eileen McGinnis.

A great many people brought in food for the men and

simply dropped it off, so we don’t have their names, but

thank you for this essential service. Our guests so

appreciated your thoughtfulness and the bounty of food!

Kudos to the three coordinators of this program: Tom

Chapman – Mike Sewell – Patricia Amadeo. Not only did

they organize, recruit and schedule, they were on hand to

offer hospitality, answer questions, and sometimes to stay

overnight when a scheduled volunteer couldn’t come in.

A big thanks to Tim Gasperini without whom nothing

could have happened as he drove the van back and forth

each morning and evening to Homeward Bound.

This week, we will take up the Collection for the

Church in Latin America.

In Peru, the 14 villages of Chazuta, in

Moyobamba, are all located away from the

city center, with the most remote only

accessible by boat. Through our help members of the

Chazuta villages will feel the love and support of the

universal Church. Please support programs like these and

give generously.

Holy Family School Bingo

Dates:

February 4 & 18, March 3 & 17,

April 7 & 21 and May 5 & 19.

Bingo starts at 6:30pm. Cost is $10. Concessions will

be available.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word

One ministry which has been put on hold for a while is the

Children’s Liturgy of the Word. With the Diocese of

Pueblo rules for safe environment, we are obliged to have

two adults accompany our children with their catechists if

they are going to the chapel during Mass. In order for this

ministry to continue, we will need at least two adults to be

with the children and teachers at the 10am Mass. Would

you like to make this your ministry and volunteer once a

month? Please contact Jack Stuckenschneider at the parish

office : 242-6121, and find out more to help establish this

ministry within our parish again.

actually start printing. They will be delivered to the

church approximately 30 days after that with your

name on it and also the free 5x7 print. Call Bonnie for

any questions 243-4698.
