Welcome to St. Luke’s at Immaculate Conception. We are delighted to have you with us.
We are a parish of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter, which was established on January 1, 2012
by Pope Benedict XVI in response to repeated requests by Anglicans seeking to become Catholic. Ordinariate parishes are fully Catholic while retaining elements of their Anglican
heritage and traditions, including liturgical traditions.

Ash Wednesday is Observed on February 14th This Year. Mass with distribution of ashes will be at 8:30 am. Sunday Morning Rosary
Helene Vidal will be leading a recitation of the rosary every Sunday morning before Mass, starting at 8:10 am. Meet her at the front of the church on the Epistle side. [ N.B.—A plenary indulgence (under the usual conditions) is granted for the public recitation of five decades of the Rosary. So make a plan to join Helene in this wonderful devotion.] Corporal Work of Mercy: Socks and Gloves for the Homeless We are continuing this month to collect socks and gloves for the homeless. Thickness is the key consideration for both socks and the gloves. Men’s sizes are preferred. If you buy cotton socks, remember that sometimes two pairs are worn at the same time when it is cold. White is the preferred color for socks. We will collect the socks and gloves at the coffee hour after Mass. Stations of the Cross On every Friday in Lent, we will be holding Stations of the Cross at 6:30 pm, followed by a Soup Supper. Mark your calendars for the first service on February 16th and make plans now to attend. And to help with the soup suppers, contact La-Verne Williams at [email protected].

Know Your Faith Saint Agatha of Sicily (231 AD – 251 AD) was born at Catania or Palermo, Sicily, and she was martyred in approximately 251. She is one of seven women, who, along with the Blessed Virgin Mary, are commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass. Having dedicated her virginity to God, fifteen-year-old Agatha rejected the amorous advances of the low-born Roman prefect Quintianus, who then persecuted her for her Christian faith. He sent Agatha to Aphrodisia, the keeper of a brothel. The madam finding her intractable, Quintianus had her put in prison. Amongst the tortures she underwent was the cutting off of her breasts with pincers. Saint Agatha was then sentenced to be burnt at the stake, but an earthquake saved her from that fate; instead, she was sent to prison where she died in prison. She is the patron saint of breast cancer patients, martyrs, wet nurses, bell-founders, bakers, fire, earthquakes, and eruptions of Mount Etna.
Hymnal #562 Processional Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus
cantor Introit Exsurge, quare obdormis [Cf. Psalm 44: 23-26, 1] Arise, O Lord, wherefore sleepest thou? Awake, and cast us not away for ever: wherefore hidest thou thy countenance, and forgettest our adversity and misery? Our belly cleaveth unto the ground; arise and save us, O Lord, our helper and our deliverer. Ps. O God, we have heard with our ears: our fathers have told us. Glory be... Arise, O Lord...
Missal p. 1 Introductory Rites Collect for Purity & Summary of the Law
Hymnal #710 Kyrie Second Communion Service [Healey Willan] Missal p.2 Collect
O Lord God, who seest that we put not our trust in any thing that we do: mercifully grant that by thy power, we may be defended against all adversity; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
sit First Reading Job 7: 1-4, 6-7 Job spoke, saying, “Has not man a hard service upon earth, and are not his days like the days of a hireling? Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like a hireling who looks for his wages, so I am allotted months of emptiness, and nights of misery are apportioned to me. When I lie down I say, ‘When shall I arise?’ But the night is long, and I am full of tossing till the dawn. My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and come to their end without hope. Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good.”
all Appointed Psalm Psalm 147: 1-6 Laudate Dominum. PRAISE the Lord, for it is a good thing to sing praises | unto our | God; * yea, a joyful and pleasant | thing it | is · to be | thankful. 2 The Lord doth build | up Je- | rusalem, * and gather to- | gether the | outcasts of | Israel. 3 He healeth those that are | broken in | heart, * and giveth | medicine to | heal their | sickness.
4 He telleth the | number · of the | stars, * and | calleth them | all by · their | names. 5 Great is our Lord, and | great is · his | power; * yea, | and his | wisdom is | infinite. 6 The Lord setteth | up the | meek, * and bringeth the un- | godly | down · to the | ground.
Second Reading 1 Corinthians 9: 16-19, 22-23 Brethren: If I preach the Gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission. What then is my reward? Just this: that in my preaching I may make the gospel free of charge, not making full use of my right in the gospel. For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Tract Commovisti [Psalm 60: 2, 4b, 5] Thou hast moved the land, O Lord: and divided it. V. Heal the sores thereof: for it shaketh. V. That they may triumph because of the truth: that thy beloved may be delivered.
Gospel Mark 1: 29-39 At that time: Leaving the synagogue, Jesus entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her. And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them. That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons. And the whole city was gathered together about the door. And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed. And Simon and those who were with him followed him, and they found him and said to him, “Every one is searching for you.” And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out.” And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

Names added this week will appear in boldface type.
Request a Mass Intention You are invited to make an offering in honor of a deceased or living loved one, a person’s birthday, anniversary, or any another special occasion.

The usual Mass stipend is $10. An offered mass will give both spiritual support for your loved ones and material support to our fledgling parish.
The Mass this morning (and every Sunday morning) is offered for the People of the Parish.
God does not work in those who refuse to place all their confidence and hope in Him alone. But he does impart the fullness of His love upon those who possess a deep faith and hope; for them he does great things.
—St. Jerome Emiliani

Paul Miki and Companions: The Martyrs of Nagasaki On August 15, 1549, St. Francis Xavier arrived in Kagoshima, Japan, from Spain with hopes of bringing Catholicism to Japan. He visited Shimazu Takahisa, the daimyo of Kagoshima, asking for permission to build the first Catholic mission in Japan. The daimyo agreed in hopes of creating a trade relationship with Europe.
The government at first supported the Catholic mission and the missionaries. However, over time, the shogunate increasingly saw Catholicism as a threat, and started persecuting Catholics. Christianity was banned and those Japanese who refused to abandon their faith were killed. On February 5, 1597, twenty-six Catholics – four Spaniards, one Mexican, and one Indian, all of whom were Franciscan missionaries, three Japanese Jesuits, and seventeen Japanese laymen including three young boys, were executed by crucifixion in Nagasaki. These individuals were raised on crosses and then pierced through with spears.
