Stewardship

A Way of Life

This Week’s Readings

The Gospel reminds us that our lives and our deeds

must serve as examples to others, pointing the way to

the Father. Not for our own benefit do we labor, but so

that others may see our good works and give glory to

our Father in heaven.

Living Stewardship

We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish

whose giving - whether of alms or of service—will

be an expression of gratitude for what the Father has

given them.

Adult Confirmation

Classes

For various reasons there are many

adult Catholics who have not

completed their religious education

and received the sacrament of

Confirmation. This sacrament is necessary to be a

Godparent or Sponsor for a someone receiving

Baptism or Confirmation. There is no shame for not

receiving as a young person, as in many cases it

is not their fault. However, the sacrament can

be received as an adult (18 years and older) by

attending our Adult Confirmation classes in

preparation to receive Confirmation at the Vigil of

Pentecost on June 3, 2017. Classes will begin on

Sunday, March 12th and will meet for

approximately 10 weeks on a Sunday from

12:00-1:30 p.m. Adults interested in receiving the

sacrament this May must be a baptized Catholic

and present a valid baptismal certificate. Please

call Dr. Jo-Ann Metzdorff at 678-2306 or email

jmetzdorff@stagnescathedral.org for more

information or to set up an interview.

5 FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

From the Rector —

Dear Parishioners:

This past week was a busy and blessed time for

our parish and Diocese. On the afternoon of Tuesday,

January 31st a special Mass was celebrated at St. Agnes

Cathedral wherein Bishop John Barres was led to the

Cathedra (the Bishop’s chair) and installed as the fifth

Bishop of our Diocese. Gratitude was fittingly

expressed by Archbishop Christoph Pierre, the Papal

Nuncio, and by Bishop Barres for Bishop Murphy’s

leadership of our diocese over these past fifteen years,

and I certainly echo their thanks. At evening prayer on

Monday, Bishop Murphy promised that he would spend

his retirement praying for us. May we also pray that

Bishop Murphy be blessed as he begins this new

chapter in his life.

As we welcome Bishop Barres to our Diocese

and parish, it is appropriate to recall the words of Pope

Francis when, in September 2015, he visited the United

States and spoke to the Bishops of the United States. In

his address, the Holy Father spoke very specifically

about the role of the Bishop in the life of the Church.

His words describe some of the characteristics that we

ask our loving God to endow Bishop Barres with as he

leads a Diocese of over 1.5 million Catholics. These

are Pope Francis’ words: “A pastor [i.e., “bishop”]

watches over the dreams, the lives and the growth of

his flock…A pastor keeps watch first and foremost

with prayer, supporting the faith of his people and

instilling confidence in the Lord, in his presence. A

pastor remains vigilant by helping people to lift their

gaze at times of discouragement, frustration and

failure.” Pope Francis continues and tells of being

struck “by how, in the early days of the Church, the

Hellenists complained that their widows and orphans

were not being well cared for [and how] the Holy Spirit

inspired them to create deacons and when Peter

announced the decision, he explained: ‘We are going to

choose seven men to take care of this; for our part, we

have two responsibilities: prayer and preaching’. What

is the first job of bishops?” asks Pope Francis. “To

pray. The second job goes along with this: to preach.”

May Bishop Barres be blessed with many

fruitful years serving the Church of Rockville

Centre. May he be a man of prayer ever open to the

Holy Spirit. May his words of preaching guide,

strengthen and inspire us. And may we, 1.5 million

strong, be ever more united as we proclaim the

Kingdom of God.

In the Peace and Love of Christ,

Father Bill

Principal’s

Announcements

Our celebration of Catholic

Schools Week was a great success.

Our Opening Mass last Sunday

and all the special events planned

during the week brought much joy and happiness to the

school community. I would like to thank the families,

parishioners, and friends who helped make our week

special. I appreciate the time you spent helping with the

various events. St. Agnes is truly blessed!

Speaking about being truly blessed, we are very

excited about our new bishop. Here is a welcome

message the Swanson sisters wrote on behalf of all the

students at St. Agnes Cathedral School.

Welcome Bishop Barres,

We are delighted that you will be our new Diocesan

Bishop! We are very excited to meet you, and we hope

that you can visit us at school. We heard that you like

basketball, so we hope you can join us at the upcoming

girls’ and boys’ basketball games. All of the students

here are very excited to listen to you and to learn more

about our faith. The St. Agnes students welcome you to

our loving community!
