READING CATHOLIC COMMUNITY

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Update on the Music Ministry

As you may be aware, Paul Ciotti is no longer our Director of Music &

Worship. After many conversations with people in the Reading

Catholic Community, along with our embrace of the Dynamic Parish

Program, and with the help of a number of choir members, I have

decided to enhance our music ministry by utilizing the incredible

musical talent we have in our community.

I know this means some change for the music program but I hope and pray that you will have patience as we

get the new music program organized and underway. Getting the Collaborative off the ground has been

very challenging - yet we have come a long way! Getting the music program right is another big challenge

and if we approach this just as we did the Collaborative, we will all benefit from beautiful, praise-filled music

at our weekend Masses. Everyone loves a challenge, well…… there is incredible musical talent in our

community, and I hope that many will come forward to help lead us to the next level.

Reverencing God’s Word for Us

Pope Francis has given our Church a great gift. Next weekend we will celebrate, for the first time ever, Word

of God Sunday. The Holy Father is calling us to an even deeper encounter His Word for us. Our community

is blessed with the joyful sound of greeting each other with love as a community of faith at Mass and the

sound of silence when we listen to Our Lord together during Mass. Our lives and our world are filled with so

much noise. We thank God for the “sound of silence” which we experience especially when His Word is

spoken and His blessing comes during the Eucharistic Prayer. Enjoy this sabbatical from the noise of life and

these deep moments of reverent encounters with Our Lord. Thank you, Lord, for ministering to us in the

Reading Catholic Community so beautifully in Word and Sacrament.

More on Word of God Sunday

CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE, ROME - To help the

Church grow in love and faithful witness to God,

Pope Francis has declared the third Sunday in

Ordinary Time to be dedicated to the word of

God. Salvation, faith, unity and mercy all depend

on knowing Christ and sacred Scripture, he said in

a new document.

Devoting a special day “to the celebration, study

and dissemination of the word of God” will help

the Church “experience anew how the risen Lord

opens up for us the treasury of his word and

enables us to proclaim its unfathomable riches

before the world,” the pope said.


SAVE THE DATE FOR

Worship Wednesday: January 29

TIME: 7:00PM - 8:00PM

LOCATION: St. Agnes Church

We are excited for this month’s Worship

Wednesday!

The evening offers us a time to come together in

community with songs of praise, a short teaching or

prayer service, and Eucharistic Adoration: an

opportunity to replenish our spiritual energy,

meditate upon how God is calling us, or to just sit in

the loving presence of the Lord.

Please plan on joining us for the Faith & Fellowship

have done in years’ past, this gathering brings our

small groups together to share experiences, music,

and prayer that always translates to spiritual

reinforcement and encouragement. The event is open

to everyone in the Reading Catholic Community and

provides a great view into the great gifts that come

from being part of our small groups ministry. We

hope to see you there - please bring a friend or a

family member!

small group, you are welcome to join at any time. You

can sign up on our website: ReadingCatholic.org

Archdiocese Collection: Church in Latin America

Next week, we will take up the Collection for the Church in Latin America. For many in Latin America and the

Caribbean, a rising secular culture, difficult rural terrain, and a shortage of ministers all present obstacles to

practicing the faith. Your support for the collection provides lay leadership training, catechesis, priestly and

religious formation, and other programs to share our Catholic faith with those who long to hear the Good

News of Christ. To learn more about how your gifts make a difference, visit www.usccb.org/latin-america.

As usual, St. Athanasius will have a separate second collection. As a portion of St. Agnes’ one collection will

go toward this collection, please consider increasing your usual offertory to accommodate for this collection.


mailto:[email protected]



week of the Question

Are we open to seeing the Holy Spirit

acting through unexpected people or

guiding us in unexpected ways?

Christmas Time and Easter Time highlight the central

mysteries of the Paschal Mystery, namely, the

incarnation, death on the cross, resurrection, and

ascension of Jesus Christ, and the descent of the Holy

Spirit at Pentecost.

The Sundays and weeks of Ordinary Time, on the

other hand, take us through the life of Christ. This is

the time of conversion. This is living the life of Christ.

Ordinary Time is a time for growth and maturation, a

time in which the mystery of Christ is called to

penetrate ever more deeply into history until all

things are finally caught up in Christ. The goal, toward

which all of history is directed, is represented by the

final Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Solemnity of Our

Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

The Changing of the Seasons: From Christmas Time to Ordinary Time

These happy children take one last pose in front of St.

Athanasius’ crèche last weekend, before it is stored

as we move into Ordinary Time.

2019 Christmas Flower Offering In memory of loved ones who have passed.

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord let His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord look upon

you kindly and give you peace.

A Warm & Heartfelt THANK YOU!

Lazarus House Ministry Clothing Drive extends a great big Thank You to all who donated: from one pair of

socks to 6 baseball gloves!! This drive was, again, a huge success. Four SUV’s and 2 cars packed to the brim

brought clothing to Lazarus House the weekend after the drive. Judy, one of the 3 store Managers, was full

of smiles and enthusiasm as we arrived with the clothing. We were so delighted with everyone’s efforts of

buying new hats, socks, gloves, underwear, toiletries, jackets (both winter and spring). The gently used

clothing was all in superb shape. Thank You so, so very much. Keep saving for the Spring Drive!!

Many, Many Blessings
