McKenna & Forni, and I went to Applebee’s for lunch and then to see USA McFarland. It was the best movie I’ve seen in a long while. The story is about a High School coach and his team, but it is really about what it is like to be a Mexican-American family negotiating one’s way through the American scene. I loved the movie and encourage everyone to see it. The message would be beyond the SpongeBob set, but the rest of the family should see it…Friday, after stations, I entertained several College students for supper. We had Tuna Noodle Casserole, with a classic recipe. Every ounce was scraped from the glass bowl, and with a salad and dessert, we had a fine meal. Good conversation, too… Saturday morning we had our penance service, attended by about 25. Thanks to musicians and lectors for their help, and to the priests of the area. We are all helping each other with confessions, such a blessing for all our parishes…That afternoon I had an appointment with a family, welcoming them into the parish and planning for initiation. This is the second family I’ve met with recently, joining the parish and arranging to instruct and initiate children of various ages…After the Spanish Mass on Sunday we had a feast at the Collins House. The community will continue to gather after Mass every week. It’s great to have the constant presence of Jorge Salgado leading the community, and the great volunteer spirit. It’s a joy to serve this part of our parish, and I am grateful for their patience with my language skills…Sunday afternoon I was called to Bev Ruggles’s home on the death of her husband Leonard. I met with Bev and her daughters to comfort them at Leonard’s death, and begin planning for his funeral. I like to go to the family home right away, if I can. Sometimes I will meet with the family at the funeral home as they are making arrangements—just as early as possible in the process…Monday afternoon I was called to anoint a parishioner at home. The Hospice service contacted me and I went over to the home for a visit and prayer…That evening our RCIA saw a video on the Eucharist…Tuesday I went back to the Ruggles home to finalize plans for the funeral. We have a packet so families can choose the readings, etc. They graciously sent me some information on Leonard to help me prepare to preach at the funeral, always helpful…We cancelled programs Tuesday evening due to the weather…Wednesday our Finance council met to review the latest numbers—all of which is on track. Thanks for their help and guidance…Wednesday afternoon I went to Fowlers to join the Ruggles family for visitation and the service. Afterwards we went to 58 Main for supper and conversation…God bless and have a good week! March 8, 2015 Regional Penance Services Tuesday, March 10: 6:00 pm, Newman Center Sunday, March 15: 4:00 pm, St. John’s in Spencerport Saturday March 21: 11:00 am, St. Leo’s in Hilton “Christ Has No Hands But Yours…” Four senior high teens were given the Hands of Christ award this past Tuesday, March 3rd by Bishop Matano at St. Jude’s Church. These teens: Luke Bamburoski, Amanda Burgio, Alahna Grady, and Megan Smith, ha v e noticea bly shown Christian attitudes in their daily lives. We will recognize them at Nativity the weekend of March 14/15. Please join them in their celebration and pray for their continued journey in the Catholic Faith. Living Stations of the Cross Practice this Sunday, March 8th are from 3:00 – 7:00 pm at Nativity in the Church & Parish Center. We are still in need of a few hands to assist in the preparation and presentation. We need musicians, stage hands and a narrator. Any younger adults that can help??? This time will allow for practice, dinner together and some social time. Attention all current 8th – 11th Graders The Diocese of Rochester has a tradition of sending young people to the National Catholic Youth Conference. It’s not often that we wander away from our own parish to celebrate our Liturgy with people from different places. NCYC offers young people the chance to experience the “Big Church” – at least within the United States. Not that many adults get to worship on this level…and let me tell you it’s awesome! An information meeting for any teen or adult interested is Sunday, March 15th after Mass. Meet Lisa O’Brien at the back of the Church by the bulletin board. Visit http:// youth.dor.org/ncyc/ to preview this wonderful gathering. For all 6th – 8th graders! Be Not Afraid The Fear Factor Junior High Retreat Day Saturday, March 21st from 11:00 am – 6:00 pm Join other teens in the Rochester area for faith, food, fun and friends. Fee is $25 and will be held at Holy Trinity Parish on 1460 Ridge Road in Webster. Contact Lisa O’Brien, Youth Minister, at 503-7632 or [email protected] for any questions about the above events. “Praying Deeper” Come join us this Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm at Nativity BVM Parish Center for “Praying Deeper,” a chance to learn how to open yourself to God’s grace through meditation. This week we will be learning about “Lectio Divina” a way of praying the scriptures. Literally meaning “Reading for the Divine” this way of praying leads us into the deeper meaning of the Bible for us, and helps us to not only read the Bible, but also pray the Bible. There will be an instruction and questions, followed by an opportunity to practice this style of prayer. Come and learn how to pray deeper. Page 4 Church of the Nativity, Brockport, New York Nativity’s Final CMA Report As of Tuesday, we had 268 parishioners total pledging $55,596.00 which is 140.01% of our goal of $39,710.00. We reached 98% of our goal of 270 parishioners/ households participating in the CMA. At this time we remind you to pay on your pledge, if you haven’t done so already. Half of all CMA pledges over our goal come back to the parish! Thank you to all who have participated! Paul reminded the Corinthians, "We proclaim Christ crucified." Christ's weakness is stronger than any human strength. The power of the cross is greater than anything the world or evil has to combat it. The Lenten season is one of repentance, selfdenial, almsgiving, and prayer. Many in our modern world do not see any wisdom in denying themselves anything. Those swept away in a consumer culture want more and they want it faster, bigger, and better. They also are looking for easy and quick satisfaction, unwilling to wait long. Paul speaks of the "foolishness of God" and how it is wiser than any human wisdom. Lent is a time to put aside that which we feel and think as humans and put on the attitude of Christ. The cross of Christ is neither easy nor fleeting, and it will ask us to deny our very selves for him. To the human mind it makes no sense. However, by putting on Christ and seeing with his eyes, we see reality with clarity. Our sacrifice can lead to riches that only a "foolish" man would covet. But it is exactly there that we are satisfied and fulfilled. 2nd Annual Rochester Catholic Women’s Conference Saturday, March 28th, 2015 7:00 am - 5:30 pm Aquinas Institute, 1127 Dewey Ave For more information or to register online, visit: RochesterCWC.org.
