GOD’S CALL

The person who has been “saved,” who has “heard the good news of

salvation,” still lives in an unsaved world, a world sadly oblivious to the

presence of God. Today’s readings outline how the disciple is present in the

world.

The outline begins with Isaiah: “Share your bread . . . shelter the oppressed .

. . clothe the naked” (Isaiah 58:7). Those who hear the word of salvation are

not insensitive to the urgent needs of others. Then Paul reminds his flock

that he brought Christ to them not in eloquence or wisdom, but by being

with them in the “weakness and fear” of their daily lives (1 Corinthians 2:3).

Finally, Jesus tells his disciples to go out into the gloom and darkness of the

streets of the world and let God’s light shine through their good deeds.

We disciples don’t save the world. To the extent, however, that we have

heard the word of God and been awakened to God’s presence, we may

spread that word and bring that presence to others. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Catholic Schools Week Assembly St. Benedict Catholic School (SBCS) concluded Catholic Schools Week with a regional community Assembly. It included approximately 100 people that began with mass at St. Bartholomew Church, included break-out sessions on a variety of hot topics and concluded with a light lunch and a final review of the input that will help SBCS plan and grow for the next century. The Assembly group reviewed earlier findings from the school assessment and focused on seven areas: Catholic Identity & Mission; Academic Excellence - Elementary; Academic Excellence – Middle School; Extracurricular Activities; Marketing & Enrollment; Development and Centennial; and, Facilities and Grounds. The final session ranked the work done by the seven planning teams into a prioritized top ten list. If you would like to be included in the planning process, please contact the SBCS Office at 251-986-8143. Many, many families attended the SBCS Open House on Saturday afternoon. The Peer Helpers at SBCS conducted tours of the campus for potential students and their families. Now is a good time to consider sending your children to St. Benedict Catholic School. For more information, please call us at 251-986-8143.

Choir practice for Holy Week will begin Monday, Feb 23 at 6pm.

We are in need of experienced Alto singers, but all are welcome.
