Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

We had another successful OPV event at Our Lady of Joy

last weekend. The first FREE spaghetti dinner had many

parishioners from all five parishes (almost 700 diners and

volunteers!). While the meal was free, the gift baskets, 50/50

and other side entertainment raised enough to cover the cost

of the supplies for the dinner and still make a small profit of

about $150. Kudos and credits to all those who volunteered

and attended, but especially Mark Tierno, who led the event

and recruited volunteers from all five parishes to assist. As

we continue to come together as one parish, we will be

holding more of these combined events. The Breakfast with

the Holy Spirit series continues each month. St. Irenaeus

preschool is also introducing a new event...Father/Daughter,

Mother/Son Dance. There is an upcoming blood drive for all

those willing to donate, a spiritual evening led by Regis

Flaherty, trip(s) to the Sight and Sound Theater in Lancaster,

PA to see the Story of Esther, and more.

Next month, we are introducing some special Game

Nights! On Leap Day, February 29, we will have a game

night for Youth and Young Adult families, that will include

Card Games and/or Board Games. We will also have

coloring books and games for children of young adult

families. This Youth and Young Adult night will be held at St.

Januarius Church Hall on Saturday, February 29 5-9

p.m. Another game night for Seniors (55+) will be held in the

afternoon on June 10 at St. Irenaeus. A game night for all

ages will be held in the fall at Our Lady of Joy (details to fol-

low when we have the Steeler schedule ).

We are also introducing/reintroducing a new communication

vehicle for all OPV parishioners who want to stay informed

about various issues in our communities. With 5 different

Churches and weekend Mass schedule, it is increasingly

difficult to communicate everything at weekend Masses.

There are some special communications that any parishioner

can sign up for. We will be establishing these

communications platforms soon. Here are some examples:

Notifications and Alerts to: (1) Special Speakers &

Presentations, (2) Volunteer Service needs & times,

(3) Parishioner deaths, (4) updated prayer list, (5) Social

events & fundraisers, (6) Holy & Holiday Mass Schedules,

(7) Holy Hour & Adoration times, (8) School events when

parishioners are invited, (9) CCD Schedule changes and

alerts due to weather, (10) bulletin emailed or a link to online

bulletin sent in text message.

Flocknote is a way many churches use to communicate with

“the flock”. Anyone can simply sign up by texting

‘OPVCATHOLIC’ or ‘opvcatholic’ to 84576. Then, you will be

prompted to sign up for different communications that you

want to be alerted to. Anyone in Flocknote would

automatically be alerted to Mass changes due to weather or

special news, especially the announcement of our new parish

name in May. We will have several options as listed above

that you can select. The great advantage of Flocknote is that

email is not required. We can send messages to your mobile

phone, or email, whatever your preference. Our youth, young

adult and religious education (CCD) programs are using it

already. We will have a formal sign up on Ash Wednesday,

but you can sign up anytime you’re ready.

This weekend, we return to Ordinary Time; we return to

green. Let’s grow our community together in getting to know

one another in new places, and in learning to understand new

ways to stay in touch.

In Christ’s love,

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR 2ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

READING I IS 49:3,5-6

The LORD said to me: You are my servant, Israel, through whom I

show my glory. Now the LORD has spoken who formed me as his

servant from the womb, that Jacob may be brought back to him

and Israel gathered to him; and I am made glorious in the sight of

the LORD, and my God is now my strength! It is too little, the

LORD says, for you to be my servant, to raise up the tribes of

Jacob, and restore the survivors of Israel; I will make you a light to

the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10

R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

I have waited, waited for the LORD,

and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.

And he put a new song into my mouth,

a hymn to our God.

R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

Sacrifice or offering you wished not,

but ears open to obedience you gave me.

Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not;

then said I, “Behold I come.”

R. Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

“In the written scroll it is prescribed for me,

to do your will, O my God, is my delight,

and your law is within my heart!”

R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

I announced your justice in the vast assembly;

I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.

R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

READING 2 1 COR 1:1-3

Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,

and Sosthenes our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth,

to you who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy,

with all those everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord

Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours. Grace to you and peace from

God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

R. Alleluia, alleluia. MT 9:7

The heavens were opened and the voice of the Father thundered:

This is my beloved Son, listen to him.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL JN 1:29-34

John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said,

“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

He is the one of whom I said, ‘A man is coming after me who

ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.’ I did not know

him, but the reason why I came baptizing with water was that he

might be made known to Israel.” John testified further, saying,

“I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and remain

upon him. I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize

with water told me, ‘On whomever you see the Spirit come down

and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.”

La virtud de la gratitud (segunda parte)

Sirva esta anécdota como ejemplo a lo que digo. Había un ciego

sentado en la vereda con una gorra a sus pies y una tabla de madera

donde se leía: “Por favor, ayúdeme. Soy ciego.” Una persona que

pasaba se detuvo delante de él y vio las pocas monedas que había

en la gorra. Le pidió permiso para escribir algo distinto. Tomó la tabla

de madera, borró el anuncio y escribió otro con una tiza, volviendo a

ponerlo sobre los pies del ciego y se fue. Al día siguiente, al pasar

por el mismo lugar frente al ciego, vió que la gorra estaba llena de

monedas y billetes. El ciego, que reconoció sus pasos le preguntó

que había escrito en el cartel: “Nada que no sea tan cierto como tu

anuncio, sólo que con otras palabras”. El ciego nunca lo supo pero su

cartel ahora decía: “¡Hoy es primavera y no la puedo ver!”…

En segundo lugar, debemos sentir gratitud hacia nuestros padres

que nos trajeron al mundo, que nos cuidaron, que nos alimentaron y

que seguramente nos han brindado afecto, seguridad, protección y

educación. En el caso de que nada de esto nos hayan dado,

igualmente les debemos la vida. Este sentimiento tan noble de la

gratitud hacia su padre quedó maravillosamente expresado en la

carta que el teniente Roberto Néstor Estévez, muerto en 1982 en la

guerra de Malvinas, dejó plasmado en una carta de despedida escrita

a su padre:

“Querido Pipo: Cuando recibas esta carta, yo ya estaré rindiendo

cuentas de mis acciones a Dios nuestro Señor. Él que sabe lo que

hace, así lo ha dispuesto: que muera en el cumplimiento de mi

misión; pero fijáte vos ¡qué misión! ¿No es cierto? ¿Te acordás c

uando era chico y hacía planes, diseñaba vehículos y armas para

recuperar las islas Malvinas y restaurar en ellas nuestra soberanía?.

Dios, que es un Padre generoso, ha querido que este su hijo,

totalmente carente de méritos, viva esta experiencia única y deje su

vida en ofrenda a nuestra Patria. Lo único que a todos quiero pedirles

es: 1) Que restauren una sincera unidad en la familia bajo la Cruz de

Cristo. 2) Que me recuerden con alegría y no que mi evocación sea

la apertura a la tristeza. Y muy importante. 3) Que recen por mí. Pipo,

hay cosas que, en un día cualquiera, no se dicen entre hombres,

pero hoy debo decírtelas: Gracias por tenerte como modelo de bien

nacido, gracias por creer en el honor, gracias por tener tu

apellido, gracias por ser católico, argentino e hijo de sangre

española, gracias por ser soldado, gracias a Dios por ser como soy

y que es fruto de ese hogar donde vos sos el pilar. Hasta el

reencuentro, si Dios lo permite. Un fuerte abrazo. Dios y Patria ¡o

Muerte! Roberto”(1).

Giant Eagle/Community/Labriolas

Thanks to all those who continue to purchase the grocery gift cards. This is a simple but very

effective way to help our school. To those of you who have never tried this program, won’t you

consider beginning to help. Many of our parishioners have scaled back their budgets due to the

economy, however, the need to purchase gas, prescription drugs and food never ends. Please

consider purchasing Giant Eagle, Community and Labriolas gift cards. These cards are sold

every week after all Masses and during the week at the Parish Office. Our school receives 5%

back on Giant Eagle and Community and 10% back on Labriolas at no additional cost to you.

CHRISTMAS OUTREACH�

�

�

The Work of Christmas...�

When the song of the angels is

stilled, when the star in the sky is

gone, when the kings and princes

are home, when the shepherds are

back with their flocks, the work of

Christmas begins: to find the lost,

to heal the broken, to feed the

hungry, to release the prisoner, to

rebuild the nations, to bring peace

among the people, to make music

in the heart.
