SAINT ANDREW

THE APOSTLE

PARISH

Prayer to Saint Andrew

the Apostle

O Glorious Saint Andrew, you were

the first to recognize and follow the

Lamb of God. With your friend Saint

John, you remained with Jesus for

that day, for your entire life, and now

throughout eternity. As you led your

brother Saint Peter to Christ and

many others after Him, draw us also

to Him. Teach us to lead others to

Christ solely out of love for Him and

dedication in His service. Help us to

learn the lesson of the cross and to

carry our daily crosses without

complaint so that they may carry us to

Jesus.

Amen.

The Pittsburgh Diocese is home to two nationally recog-

nized educational programs for children with special needs:

St. Anthony school Programs and DePaul School for Hear-

ing and Speech (formerly known as the DePaul Institute). A

special collection to benefit these two organizations will be

taken up this weekend January 18 & 19, 2020 at all Masses.

The St. Anthony School Programs provides special edu-

cation to children with development delays and autism in

school within the Diocese and a college-age program locat-

ed on the Duquesne University campus. DePaul School for

Hearing and Speech teaches children who have moderate to

profound hearing loss how to listen, learn and speak, so that

these children may live without boundaries in our hearing

and speaking world.

Your donation will help St. Anthony School Programs

and DePaul School for Hearing and Speech to further their

goals of providing quality educational programs and ser-

vices for their students. Your support is critical. Your gener-

osity will help these organizations forever improve the loves

of their students and their families.

This collection will assist our Parish Share Assessment

Goal.

2ND SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME JANUARY 19, 2020

THOUGHTS BY REV KEV

Ordinary Time does not mean we cannot celebrate! With most of our homes feeling empty

without the Christmas decorations, I would invite you to continue now with Mardi Gras.

These 6 weeks are an interlude known as ordinary-time. We have many celebrations to look

forward to. We are invited to share the joy of Christmas even with the bright colors of Mardi

Gras, these colors have the following meaning:

Purple - Justice

Green - Faith

Gold - Power

This is an extension of the gifts the Kings presented to Baby Jesus. Gold as Jesus was

acknowledged as a KING, the Myrrh presenting the struggles and pain Jesus would suffer for

JUSTICE and forgiveness for all and Frankincense which we still use to show our faith in ac-

tion as our prayers rise like incense to God!

RUMINATIONS BY FR. PAT

��

��We are going to be looking for a few weeks at the Seven Deadly Sins. However, first we

need to be reminded of what Sin is. Sin is a breakage in our relationship with God and His

Church. The Catechism tells us: it is failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a

perverse attachment to certain goods. It wounds the nature of man and injures human solidar-

ity. Sin is when we choose something that goes against God and His Love; we choose our-

selves and isolate ourselves between God and the Church. Sin is thus "love of oneself even to

contempt of God." In this proud self-exaltation, sin is diametrically opposed to the obedience

of Jesus, which achieves our salvation.

Think about why God created the heavens and the earth. He was so full of Love, that He

wanted to share it. Think of a child who received from Santa what was really, really wanted.

Think of the joy that is felt. Also, think of the joy that wants to be shared. The child will tell

everyone what Santa brought.

Why share? Because we are social people. We need people in our lives. Because of God’s

love for the world, we are inclined to have people in our lives and to share who we are with

others. We become a family. We naturally want to share ourselves with others.

In our relationship with others, we mimic the relationship that we have with God. We live

in harmony. Sin is when we choose ourselves rather than others. We bend or break that rela-

tionship that was meant from the very beginning. Instead of turning outward, like God has for

us, we turn inward, like the devil, thinking only for ourselves.

We will be looking at the kinds of sins that divide us from God and His Church We will

then focus on the seven Deadly Sins, and also look at their equivalent virtues.

2ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JANUARY 19, 2020

FAITH FORMATION ~ FAMILY CONNECTION ~ KIDS CORNER

“Souper” Bowl Sunday Includes

Food Drive

For several years our Confirmation

Candidates have participated in

Souper Bowl Sunday. The Souper

Bowl of Caring program is a nationwide, ecumeni-

cal movement that equips and mobilizes youth to

positively impact their communities by collecting

money or food on or near Super Bowl weekend. One

-hundred percent of the collections are donated di-

rectly to the charity of the students’ choice.

This year, in addition to taking up a monetary

collection for their retreat day efforts the students

would like to include a Souper Bowl Food Drive for

our local Food Banks. Oftentimes in January and

February, following the generosity of so many peo-

ple during the Christmas Season, donations for our

local Food Banks begin to decline. The students

would like to highlight the continued need for food

donations over Souper Bowl weekend.

The “Souper Bowl of Caring” will be held on

the weekend of February 1 and February 2, 2020.

Please consider supporting our students’ efforts

by making a monetary contribution and a dona-

tion of food for the Food Bank. Look for more

information in upcoming bulletins about this collec-

tion and to hear about the ways that our students are

endeavoring to help others in the New Year.

Family Connection

The ministry of John the Baptist prepared for

and pointed to the ministry of Jesus. In a

similar way, our lives are to offer testimony

to who we know Jesus to be for us and for

the world. Jesus is the Lamb of God who

takes away the sins of the world. How does

the witness of our lives give testimony to the

reconciling presence of Christ?

As a family, identify as many titles for Jesus

as possible, such as Lamb of God, Son of

God, Prince of Peace, and so on. Talk

together about what these different titles

mean and what they tell you about Jesus.

Then read together today’s Gospel, John

1:29-34.

Consider how John the Baptist gives

testimony to who Jesus is. Talk about what

people might come to know about Jesus by

observing your family life. Pray together that

your family life will show others that Jesus

is the Son of God, the lamb who takes away

the sins of the world. Pray the Lord’s Prayer.�

ST. ANDREW THE APOSTLE INFORMATION

As you may have noticed, that all communities are now using one Envelope Company. Your envelopes have

our new parish name of Saint Andrew the Apostle, a Bar Code and a new envelope number as you’re a new

parishioner of Saint Andrew the Parish.

Please take notice in regards to the collections for Saint Andrew the Apostle Parish that we will report

weekly the total amount collected for our parish in the bulletin, this will take the place of listing each church

separately in the offertory section.

We will also be announcing in the bulletin when there is a second collection other than your regular Sunday

Envelope. Some of these second collections are new for our Parish of Saint Andrew the Apostle:

The Initial Contribution is a NEW yearly envelope to help offset the cost of the printing and the distribution

of your envelopes sent out every 8 weeks.

Maintenance Fund for all of our many items for our buildings that need to be fixed as well as regular

maintenance.

School Subsidy for Madonna Catholic School needs to be paid every month.

PSP ENVELOPES Parish Share Program is additional envelope which assists our parish to complete the

goal that we have been assessed to pay. This envelope is only in addition to your yearly Gift or the ten-

month payment that starts every Lent. If we are unable to collect enough money to pay the goal, we will then

need to take the money needed from our checking. However, any money over and above the Goal that is

collected we will be able to use for our parish needs.

Finally, the Diocese has a list of their own Collections through the Year like the Bishop Education Fund for

example.

Again, we will place some information in the Bulletin prior to these collections.

PLEASE be attentive that you are writing your checks for donations to SAINT ANDREW THE APOSTLE.

With the work of our new parish we have been assigned to use the CFS Bank in Charleroi for all of our

banking needs.

47th MARCH FOR LIFE

If mankind and governments were all good neither

would need laws or a constitution. Our Christian

Faith teaches us that God holds us to 10 laws and a

greater law of love. Our government has a multitude

of laws, many that leads us to disregard the

principles of the morality our nation was founded

upon. Let us not remain a nation fueled by

selfishness, greed, hate, and the type of government

dependence that leads us to kill an unharmed child

in the womb. The hurt of destroying the elemental

mother and child is harder to bar than the courage

and humbleness it takes to ask for help, and the

charity to give that help. The National March for

Life this year is January 24th , 2020 in Washington

DC.

January 18 to 25th is the Week of Prayer for

Christian Unity. The theme for 2020 is “They

Showed us Unusual Kindness” (cf. Acts 28:2).

Annually, leaders of faith communities throughout

the world gather together to arrive at the theme for

the annual celebration of Week of Prayer for

Christian Unity. This year the theme finds its origins

in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 27:18 - 28:10).

During this Week of Prayer for Christian Unity,

let us join all Faith Communities to create ways of

prayerful witness for Christian Unity by heeding

Jesus’s prayer “That they all may be one.”

Praying for Peace throughout our Communities of

Charleroi, Donora and Monongahela and throughout

the World .

If for any reason there is a cancellation of any

activity going on in the parish such as Protecting

God’s Children Class, or Faith Formation Classes

or any of our organizations look for Saint Andrew

the Apostle Parish on the News Channels.
