PRAY FOR THE SICK

IN OUR PARISH: Chase Van Sickle, Anthony

Schmidt, Thomas Hill, Miguel Herrera,

Christy Cox

Father of goodness and love, hear

our prayers for the sick members of

our community and for all who are in

need. Amid mental and physical suf-

fering may they find consolation in

your healing presence. Show your

mercy as you close wounds, cure

illness, make broken bodies whole

and free downcast spirits. May these

special people find lasting health and

deliverance, and so join us in thank-

ing you for all your gifts. We ask this

through the Lord Jesus who healed

those who believed. Amen.

Thank you to all the new parishion-

ers who have stepped up to train as

projectionists. We still need one

more person for our 12:15 mass.

It’s very easy and you would be a

great help. Please contact MaryAnn

Spicer at 935-5306 or

marod61@att.net for information.

Total Church Support 1/31/16 $24,454 ( Plate Collection $17,576 + Online Giving $6,878) St V de Paul $16,700

St. Anne Library will host a presen-

tation on Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 1

pm entitled “Confession: The heal-

ing power of forgiveness” by Fr.

George DaRoza. Refreshments will

be served. Parish Center 1600

Rossmoor Parkway, Walnut Creek.

Girl Scout Cookie Sales - Our CTK

troops will be selling everyone’s fa-

vorite cookies at all masses this

weekend. You can also donate boxes

to our military or food bank. If you

would like to support our Troops, but

don’t catch us at mass, call Pam Jo-

hansen at 925-349-4145 and she will

connect you to a Girl Scout. Thank

you for your continued support!

Lenten Scripture Study- Join Fr.

Paulson as he leads a discussion

based on the passion, crucifixion

and death of Jesus. Wednesday

mornings, 8:45 - 10:00 am in the

ministry center chapel beginning

February 10th and continuing for

six weeks. Plan to join us.

Winter Nights Signups Go Live For

Lent! CTK will be hosting Winter

Nights again this year from Monday,

March 28th to Monday, April 11th.

The sign up sheet to volunteer or do-

nate food will be live on our website

from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sun-

day. On Palm Sunday weekend, all

items we are still in need of will be

available to sign up for outside of

mass. If your ministry is interested in

hosting a dinner or activity, contact

Kate at katedoherty.ctk@gmail.com.

We are especially looking for a few

strong backs to help load and unload

the trucks on Monday, 3/28.

Help us break

last year’s rice

bowl collection!

CRS rice bowl

program is a fun

and practical

way to turn your

Lenten sacrifice

into real help for people in need.

25% of the money raised goes to

local organizations, mostly StVdP

conferences, who help alleviate

hunger in our Diocese. The rest

supports Catholic Relief Services

abroad. Last year Oakland Diocese

raised $217,000 and CTK turned in

$7,464.67, mostly thanks to our

school and RE programs. This year

as a parish, our goal is $8000.00.

To raise that we need everyone to

participate. Pick up your Lenten

bowls in the vestibule starting Ash

Wednesday!

Healing Mass ~

Anointing of the

Sick Saturday

February 13 10:30

am

“Is anyone among you sick? He

should summon the presbyters of the

Church and they should pray over him

and anoint him with oil in the name of

the Lord (James 5:14)

All are welcome to join us for a parish

Mass and celebration of the Sacra-

ment of the Anointing of the Sick.

Since Vatican II our understanding of

this sacrament has developed and

deepened. Formerly known as Ex-

treme Unction, this sacrament is no

longer just for the dying but for the

elderly and those who are ill (whether

it be physical, emotional, psychologi-

cal, etc. ). The Anointing of the Sick

offers God’s grace to strengthen the

individual.

Bring relatives and friends from local

convalescent homes - those who are

able to come. Greeters will be present

to assist the elderly. The Anointing

of the Sick is meant to be celebrated

within the community - with family

and friends.

Celebrating Scout Sunday: The

scouting program at CTK Parish is

more than just an activity for our

youth to learn about the outdoors.

Scouting provides fun, fellowship,

and training to our youth as well as

those in our community. It emphasiz-

es honesty, self-reliance and respect to

build character, citizenship and per-

sonal fitness. Today we celebrate the

anniversary of the scouting program.

It’s not too late to help plan our

upcoming CTK Parish Festival! Join the CTK Festival Planning

Committee at our next meeting,

Tuesday, February 9 at 7:00 pm in

the 6th grade classroom. Now is a

great time to get involved in plan-

ning this terrific community event.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Lent, the Church’s annual pre-baptismal retreat,

prepares us to gather around the Easter font, renew our

baptismal vows, and receive new life from the water as

the elect are plunged into Christ’s death and resurrection.

This core meaning is more or less available, depending

on whether we journey with catechumens in the parish

and on the vigor of our liturgical celebration of the Tridu-

um. Some persist in seeing Lent as a lonely journey in the

wilderness; yet this week we enter the Lenten fast in soli-

darity with one another. The smudged foreheads you will

spy throughout Ash Wednesday on buses, street corners,

and supermarket aisles remind you that you are hardly

alone in your desire to enact a spring cleaning regime for

your spiritual life.

Long ago, this kind of repentance was available

to Christians only once. Ashes and sackcloth were not

raiment for a day, but permanent habits for public sin-

ners. Fasting became a way of life, and if they sinned se-

verely again, there was no hope of restored communion.

Happily, this system did not endure. It produced reluctant

Christians who even held back from baptism, like St. Au-

gustine did, out of fear. Today we have recovered an an-

cient tradition that conversion and repentance are con-

stant themes on life’s journey, and that Lent is an annual

opportunity to revive our baptismal identity, both as indi-

viduals and communities.
