Holy Redeemer Catholic Church

Our Mission Statement: The mission of Holy Redeemer Parish is to be a Catholic community centered in Christ as revealed through the Holy Scripture, Sacred Tradition and the Church's teaching authority. The Holy Spirit empowers us to reach out and build God's Kingdom as we worship, educate, serve and evangelize.

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 1:7, ESV).

Welcome!

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

How do you view laws and rules whether they are from

the Church or State? As Americans, we tend to take

regulations very literally, while in other countries they

are viewed as more flexible and open to interpretation.

Which is more important: to follow the “letter of the

law” or the spirit? Jesus pointed out that the

commandment not to murder applies to those who are

angry with others. In our civil law, we make distinctions

between murder, manslaughter and self-defense. Church

law says to go to Mass on Sunday. Does that mean you

have to be present for the whole Mass or can you come

late or leave early and still have it “count”? What is

behind the laws and rules? What is the value they are

upholding? Is it possible to fulfill the letter of the law

and violate the spirit of it? Consider these things.

Open my eyes that I may consider

the wonders of your law.

~Psalm 119:18

Our Lenten small Faith Sharing groups will be starting next

week Feb. 23rd. This year we will again be using the booklet “Disciples On The Journey”. Pope Francis tells us the life a Christian is about an encounter with Jesus Christ. It has been said that one of the best ways to encounter Christ is to share faith. These small faith sharing sessions based on the Sunday

readings of Mass provide that opportunity. If you wish to facilitate a group or participate please contact Jim in the Religious Ed. Office. @ 541-756-0161. (see insert in bulletin)

The Lord be with you,

Here are two facts to help you start February

right.

Fact #1 - Ash Wednesday is February 26th.

Fact #2 - God does not need Lent, we do.

Please welcome Tom and Tricia

Meza to our Holy Redeemer

Family. They come to us from

St. Joseph’s in Los Banos,

California.

Our Lenten Focus

Lent, the church-year season

that begins on Ash Wednesday,

is a time of penitence and

spiritual renewal. Some people

give up a luxury or vice during

Lent as a form of self-denial; others undertake a

project that benefits others.

The point isn’t to denigrate ourselves or to see

how much we can do without. Instead, Lent helps

us reflect on Jesus’ death. As Timothy Keller

writes in The Reason for God: “The Christian

Gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die

for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus

was glad to die for me. This leads to deep

humility and deep confidence at the same time. It

undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I

cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have

nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more

of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of

myself less.”

Men’s Group

“A group of men from Holy Redeemer have met almost continuously for the last 25-years. The meeting place has moved around, but most recently settled for the Parish library from 5pm to 6pm on Monday evenings. We discuss current events about the Church; world-wide, national and local, but we talk about sports, hunting and fishing too. We really do spend most of our time going over the next Sundays ‘readings’ and how that message relates to us individually and as part of a community here in North Bend. Other topics have included ‘small-group sessions’ for Lent. Right now, we’re discussing the Matthew Kelley book we all got for Christmas. We do odd jobs around the Parish grounds from time to time. The core group is about eight or nine guys but we have room for more.” ~Greg Stone
