Hospital Visits After HIPAA (Health Information Privacy Act) began to
take effect in 2003, churches were no longer given access to
names of hospital patients who were members of their churches.
Since that date Eucharistic ministers are only allowed to bring
Communion to hospital patients who request it. Therefore,
because we are not aware of who is admitted to the hospital, we
miss a lot of opportunities to bring Communion or to visit
parishioners while they are at Bartlett. We welcome information
about any parishioner who are hospitalized, so we may both offer
our prayers for their healing and visit them.
If you have any information, please contact the parish office
(907)586-1513, Fr. Pat Casey (907)518-4059, or Sr. Marie (907)
209-3577
Back to Basics Catholic Adult Bible Study
Our next Bible study will be the letters of St. Paul to
the Romans and to the Galatians. There will be an introductory
meeting on Thursday, January 21, 2016, followed by 12 weekly
lessons. With a two-week break for Easter, this study will end
April 28. We use the Diocese of Little Rock Scripture Study
program, which is totally Catholic. Participants may purchase
the commentary book and study guide from us, and we will
provide the accompanying DVD lectures. If you would like to
join us, please call us as soon as possible, so we can order the
materials. For additional information, call Susanne and Terry
Elder at (907) 789-9611.
Collection for the Church in Latin America This weekend, we will be taking up the Collection for
the Church in Latin America. In Peru, the 14 villages of Chazuta,
in Moyobamba, are all located away from the city center, with
the most remote only accessible by boat. The faithful in these
communities do not have access to catechetical formation, and
members often feel separated from the life of the universal
Church. Through a grant from the Collection for the Church in
Latin America, we were able to provide faith formation, spiritual
retreats, and workshops to nearly 250 people. Participants were
better equipped to help others deepen their faith and answer
questions. The program also renewed their sense of commitment
to their parishes and created stronger bonds within their families.
Through this program, members of the Chazuta villages felt the
love and support of the universal Church. Please support
programs like these and give generously in this week’s
collection.
For more information, please visit www.uscb.org/latin-america.

St. Paul Street Evangelization—
Juneau, Alaska
Welcome to your local chapter of St. Paul Street
Evangelization.
St Paul Street Evangelization is a
grassroots, non-profit organization, dedicated to
responding to the mandate of Jesus to preach the
Gospel to all nations by taking our Catholic Faith
to the streets, We do this in a non-confrontational
way, allowing the Holy Spirit to move in the
hearts of those who witness our public Catholic
presence.
Christ’s call to evangelize was made to
every Catholic Christian, and the Second Vatican
Council reiterated this need, urging each of the
baptized to bring the Gospel, found fully in the
Catholic Church, to a culture that has largely
reverted to paganism. As an on-the-street Catholic
evangelization organization, St. Paul Street
Evangelization provides an avenue for you to
share the Person of Jesus Christ and the truth and
beauty of the Catholic Faith with a hungry culture.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
&
Middle School Youth Group
January Schedule for CGS & MSYG.
We will have classes on January 17th,
24th & 31st.
Religious Education at the Cathedral Children and Youth are welcome to join
the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (pre-school
through 6th grade) or the 7th & 8th grade youth
group at anytime throughout the year.
Embrace the Spirituality of Childhood
Attention parents, grandparents, godparents, and those of you who care for children: Katy will be starting a new adult
formation course on the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd on Tuesday, January 26th. This weekly course will meet in the Parish Hall
from 6:45pm to 8:15pm. Themes covered will include the spirituality of childhood, listening to God with children, and the
essentials of the Catholic faith. While this course offers formation for catechists of the three to six year-old child it is also a
wonderful way for adults to grow in their own faith lives as they discover and encounter the unique relationship between God and
the child.
Registration
To register, contact Katy in the office of religious education.
(907)586-1317 or email [email protected]

Life Teen Announcement
by Heather Shaw
The youth of our parish
communities have so many gifts and so
much light to bring to the Church. My
role in this ministry is to empower our youth to answer their call to grow in
their personal relationships with Jesus Christ and to use their gifts to spread the
light of Christ. However, Youth Ministry is impossible without the
involvement of all generations and all members of the Church. I am looking to
expand my core team of volunteers to better reach all students! Please consider
one, or all, of these areas to help bring our Teens closer to God:
Gather with me and other Core Members to pray for our Teens,
intentionally and specifically, every other week, as well as brainstorm different
Life Night Event ideas. Join us on Sundays for our Life Nights at 6:30 to help
lead small group discussions, play games, and build fellowship.
Sign up to provide a meal for the students on Sunday night! I am in need of
support in this area.
High School students! Join me and other students from JDHS, TMHS
and YDHS for Life Teen at 6:45pm every Sunday, upstairs in the St. Paul’s
Parish Hall! Food, games, fellowship and Jesus!
1/24: Back to Basics!
1/31: Stashes and Lashes: Authentic Men and Women of Christ pt. 1
2/7: Stashes and Lashes: Authentic Men and Women of Christ pt. 2
If you are looking for ways to get involved with Youth Ministry, love
your faith and just want to share it with others, or God has placed it on your
heart to serve our teens in one or more of the ways I’ve mentioned, please
email me or call me! You do not have to have a teen in the program to help out!
I would love to involve as many people as possible, as I think it is important
that our Teens see many different people, not just myself, living out their faith
lives. Thank you and please continue to pray for me, youth ministry and
especially our teens!
Text me for more information on future College student and Young Adult
events, or even if you just want to grab coffee!

Family Promise
Interfaith Hospitality is closer
to being a reality in Juneau.
Family Promise is a
community response to families experiencing homelessness by
providing hospitality in area churches. Guests receive hospitality
and three meals a day from church members and volunteers.
Family Promise case managers work with guest parents to
ensure they can regain their self-sufficiency.
The interfaith hospitality network program began in
Union County, New Jersey, in 1986, in response to the growing
number of homeless families seeking shelter and support
services. Successful non-profit programs for families
experiencing homelessness have been implemented by a number
of communities based on this model for the past thirty years
throughout the nation including Wasilla.
Our regional representative from Family Promise,
Jeanna Beck, will join us on Thursday, February 18 from
5:00-6:30 at St. Paul’s Parish Hall on the corner of Egan and
Mendenhall Loop Road (9055 Atlin Drive) for a meet and greet.
This is a great chance for community members and
congregational leaders to learn more about the program and ask
questions about how this has worked in other communities.
For more information call Pastor Tari at 789-4093.
