overnight flight with dinner arriving in Paris the next day. We enjoy
in-flight movies, dinner and breakfast aloft.
Day 2 - PARIS/LOURDES - This morning, we arrive in Paris
where we are met and transfer to our short flight to Pau near Lourdes
where we transfer to our simple, pilgrim’s hotel near the Shrine for
dinner. In the evening, we join the Torchlight Marian Procession.
Day 3 – LOURDES - This day is spent in devotion to Our Lady of
Lourdes. We celebrate Mass at the Grotto, with a morning orientation
visit to the Shrine and a walking tour of Lourdes, visiting Boly Mill,
where St. Bernadette was born, the Cachot, formerly used as a jail,
where she lived during the apparitions, and the parish church. This
afternoon is free for private devotions, Eucharistic Procession, the
Blessing of the Sick or the legendary, healing waters of the
miraculous Lourdes spring. Dinner and overnight at our hotel.

Lourdes and travel east along southern France passing by Toulouse
and making a brief stop in Avignon seeing the Palace of the Popes.
We continue to the Nice area for dinner and overnight.
Day 5 – NICE/ASSISI – We depart and continue through the
famous Cote d'Azur region of France and enter into northern Italy
passing by Genoa and continue towards Assisi. We continue through
Tuscany into Umbria to the hilltop village of Assisi, the home of Saint
Francis. Our first stop is in the lower town for a visit to the Basilica of
St. Mary of the Angels, and the Portiuncula, Francis' Church of the
Little Portion. Continue to the upper village for dinner and overnight
at our hotel.
Day 6 – ASSISI/ROME - This morning, we celebrate Mass at the
Basilica of St. Francesco. After our visit of the Basilica, we begin our

we tour Rome’s sites; we start with a visit to the Basilica of St. Mary
Major, then we pass by the Roman Forum, the Arch of Constantine,
the Coliseum, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We visit the Church
of St. Peter in Chains to view Michelangelo's possibly most celebrated
sculpture, the "Moses." We return to our hotel for dinner and

an audience with Pope Benedict XVI if he is in residence. This
afternoon, we visit the Holy Stairs and Basilica of St. John Lateran.
We continue to St. Paul Outside the Walls. This huge, imposing
Basilica, second only to St. Peter’s and one of the largest churches in
the Christian world, contains an unusual gallery of papal portraits:
265 tablets portraying the popes of the past. We conclude our day at
one of the Catacombs, burial place of early Christians. We view the
2nd and 3rd century fresco paintings. We have the opportunity to
explore the culinary delights of Rome tonight, as dinner is on our
own. Overnight at the hotel.
Day 10 – ROME/USA – Today we make our way home with
memories of a lifetime.
From the Pastor:
For Sunday December 30th.
A New Year’s Challenge: As Christians, we start
each year off by dedicating it to the Mother of God. For all
Catholics January 1st is a Holy Day that we are obligated to
celebrate by going to Mass. While many in the world are
planning all sorts of other events, faithful Catholics will be in
prayer and asking for Mary’s help for the year to come. How
blessed we are to have the privilege to start the New Year off
right! (Please see Mass Schedule for Mass times.)
This New Year gives us a new opportunity to grow
in our faith. We continue to celebrate The Year of Faith that
Pope Benedict XVI has proclaimed. What will you do to
grow in your faith this year? This New Year is also a great
opportunity to focus on the “New Evangelization.” Of
course, every Catholic is called to evangelize, that is, to
spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. But the Church is
calling for a New Evangelization because many Catholics no
longer know their faith very well and so are unable to live it
or share it with others. What can we do as a parish to be a
part of the New Evangelization?
Please continue to pray for Religious Freedom for
Catholics. As you know, our Archdiocese, as well as many
other Catholic Institutions throughout America, is in a legal
battle with the current Administration whose Health Care Law
is forcing Catholics to compromise their religious belief. One
thing we can do for the Year of Faith is exercise our faith in
public action against this religious persecution. The Movie
“For Greater Glory” will show you what can happen when we
allow our religious liberties to be taken from us. Let’s all set
a goal to pray more in this New Year for Faith, Freedom, and
Peace.
- Fr. Timothy Gallagher

Para el domingo 30 de diciembre:
Desafío de año nuevo: Como cristianos, debemos comenzar cada año, dedicando a la Madre de Dios. Para todos los
católicos el 1 de enero es un día santo que estamos obligados a celebrar asistiendo a Misa, mientras que muchos en el
mundo están planeando toda clase de otros eventos; los fieles católicos estarán en oración, pidiendo la ayuda de María
para el año que viene. Qué bendecidos tenemos de tener el privilegio de comenzar el Año Nuevo con pie derecho!
(Por favor vea Horario de Misas.) Este año nuevo nos da una nueva oportunidad para crecer en nuestra fe. Seguimos en
la celebración del Año de la fe, que el Papa Benedicto XVI ha proclamado. ¿Qué vas a hacer para crecer en la fe este año? Este año
nuevo, es también una gran oportunidad para centrarse en la "Nueva Evangelización." Por supuesto, todo católico está llamado a
evangelizar, es decir a difundir la Buena Nueva de Jesucristo. La Iglesia está llamanda a una nueva Evangelización, para que muchos que
no conocen su fe y por eso se hacen incapaces de vivirla y compartirla con otros. ¿Qué podemos hacer como parroquia para formar parte
de la Nueva Evangelización que nos plantea la Iglesia? Por favor, continúen orando por la libertad religiosa de los católicos. Como
ustedes saben, nuestra Arquidiócesis, así como muchas otras Instituciones Católicas de toda América, se encuentra en una batalla legal
con la actual administración, cuya Reforma de salud obliga a los católicos a comprometer sus creencias religiosas. Una cosa que
podemos hacer para el Año de la fe es ejercitar nuestra fe en la acción pública en contra de la persecución religiosa. La película "para
mayor gloria" le mostrará lo que puede suceder cuando permitimos que nuestras libertades religiosas nos sean arrebatadas. Vamos todos
a fijar una meta para orar más en este nuevo año de la Fe, Libertad y Paz. - Fr. Timothy Gallagher
Recibir la Sagrada Comunión:
Para recibir la Sagrada Comunión en la Iglesia
Católica tenemos que estar en plena comunión con la
Iglesia Católica y hallarse en estado de gracia. Si
usted no es católico o se encuentran en un estado que
le sitúa fuera de la comunión plena con la Iglesia, por
ejemplo, una pareja que viven juntos sin estar casados
por la Iglesia a través del Sacramento del Matrimonio,
o una persona que ha cometido el pecado mortal sin ir
al Sacramento de la Confesión, por favor abstenerse
de recibir la Sagrada Comunión por ahora. El
sacerdote está aquí para ayudarle a prepararse para
recibir la Sagrada Comunión en el futuro. Por favor
llame al Padre Timothy Gallagher si le gustaría ir a
confesarse, casarse en la Iglesia, o convertirse en un
miembro de la Iglesia Católica.
Receiving Holy Communion:
To receive Holy Communion in the Catholic
Church we have to be in full communion with
the Catholic Church and be in a state of grace. If
you are not Catholic or are in a state that puts
you outside full communion with the Church, for
example, a couple who is living together without
being married in the Church through the
Sacrament of Matrimony, or a person who has
committed mortal sin without going to the
Sacrament of Confession, please refrain from
receiving Holy Communion for now. The Priest
is here to help prepare you to receive Holy
Communion in the future. Please call Father
Timothy Gallagher if you would like to go to
Confession, get married in the Church, or
become a member of the Catholic Church.
Adoración Eucarística:
La adoración son los viernes de 2:00 PM a 12:00
PM en la Capilla de adoración St. Bernadette.
Animamos a toda comunidad a frecuentar la
oración y acompañar a Jesús que se nos da en el
Sacramento de la Eucaristía. Para tomar un turno
de adoración, debes firmar con tu nombre en las
hojas de registro que están afuera de la Capilla de
adoración. Este compromiso puede ser semanal o
solo por un viernes. No dejemos solo a Jesús!
Comunidad que ora unida, se mantiene unida.
Celebración del Matrimonio:
Para las parejas que deseen casarse, hacemos una
invitación a que se animen a hacer el proceso de
preparación, con gusto su parroquia les ayuda en
todo lo que necesiten y puedan regularizar su
situación conyugal en la Iglesia católica.
Clean the Church:
Volunteers are needed to clean the church. If you
can donate an hour of your time, please call our
Secretary Beth Davis at 770-748-1517.
