Volunteer Appreciation
Sunday offerings are not the only gift the fuels the mission of the Church, though of course these are gratefully received and used to the best of our abilities. But volunteers are also essential to the life of the parish. At Sunday Mass, most of the people who make it happen are volunteer altar servers (and parents!), choristers, Communion ministers, readers, sacristans, ushers, and more. Volunteers also drive our social outreach and most of our catechetical programs. Still others assist me and the other clergy in the gov-ernance of the parishes. In recognition of this important work, I am happy to host a volunteer appreciation event on March 3. (If you’re a volunteer, please mark your calendars!) Invitations are going out via various ministry and organization coordinators. But given the hundreds of volun-teers we enjoy, invitations are a herculean task, and I’m sure to miss someone. If you’re a parish volunteer and you don’t get an invitation by February 16, please alert your parish receptionist and we’ll try to correct the failure. Thank you for your support of the mis-sion of Christ and his Church! If you’re not a parish volunteer, please consider becoming one. The first step is always to complete the Safe Environment program. In addition to the diligent background checks, the SE program also trains volunteers to recognize best practices and unacceptable risks in the protection of children and youth. These include how doors are locked or unlocked, how meetings and events are arranged, and how certain types of activities might blur the lines between wholesome and abusive contact. Our hope is that if every volunteer knows the best practices, then we can eliminate the conditions under which the young might be at risk. *Although the memorial of St. Blase is this year displaced by Sunday, the clergy of
RocKenRo will be blessing throats after Masses on February 3. *Bp. Zubik will administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to the youth and other can
didates from RocKenRo on Thursday, March 14. In order to prepare, the youth of Holy Trinity are on retreat this coming Saturday. Please pray for them!

ON MISSION FOR THE CHURCH ALIVE Put Out Into Deep Water And Lower Your Nets
For A Catch – When we reflect on the life and min-
istry of Jesus it is pretty clear that so much of it was
unexpected. God’s chosen people were certainly
awaiting a Messiah, a Savior, but they were expect-
ing a rich and powerful king, not an itinerant preach-
er. Even the people Jesus surrounded himself with –
the poor, sinners, the marginalized – were unex-
pected. Why wouldn’t the Savior surround himself
with more influential people? Yet, we know that
Christ came to save all, not just some and that he
casts his net far and wide in order to draw all people
to himself. As followers of Christ, we seek to be his
face and hands and heart in the world today and we
look for countless ways to invite others to share in
his life of faith. The words he speaks to Peter and the
Apostles are spoken to us. “Do not be afraid” to “put
out into deep water” and inspire the hearts of every-
one you meet to know and love Jesus. While you
may not think so, your witness of faith can be just
what someone else needs to go deeper themselves in
their relationship with the Lord. On Mission for The
Church Alive! invites us all to look for ways build up
the Body of Christ. Visit onmissionchurchalive.org

We extend our sincere appreciation to you for the visitations to the funeral home, Mass offerings, floral arrangements, food, donations to the Fr. Ken Scholarship Fund and to Holy Trinity Church. Words cannot adequately express our gratitude to you. Please know that each and every one of you touched out hearts deep-ly. Please help keep Fr. Ken’s memory alive by praying for voca-tions to the holy priesthood and religious life as well as for holy marriages and the single life. Please pray also for “Respect for Life” from conception to the grave.

RocKenRo T'AI CHI CLASSES Begin March 12 at St. Malachy
Are you interested in maintaining or improving your bal-ance, flexibility, and coordination as you get older? The Chi-nese art of T’ai Chi Ch’uan is known to do all that as well as lowering blood pressure, strengthening bones, and increas-ing the range of motion of the joints (especially the hip, knee, and ankle joints). It is considered a moving meditation that combines a coordination of breathing with series of slow, deliberate body movements. (Also a martial art, the focus here will be on the health benefits.) T’ai Chi’s slow, relaxed, rhythmic movements relieve stress and promote relaxation. While these low-impact movements are great for older individuals (regardless of health issues) younger folks who take it up and continue will find an exercise that only gets better the older they get. Studies have shown many benefits of T'ai Chi, including - improved balance, coordination, and flexibility - promotes correct posture alignment and efficient muscle use - lowers blood pressure, strengthens heart, increases circu-lation - strengthens bones, increases range of motion of the joints - improves memory, relaxation, meditation, and stress re-duction Deacon Tim Killmeyer has been studying T’ai Chi off and on for over 35 years and would like to share some of what he has learned with the men and women of the RocKenRo grouping. Classes will begin on Tuesday, March 12 at 6:30 pm in the St. Malachy gym and continue on that day and time on a somewhat regular basis. They will last an hour and are free. The only equipment needed is some loose fit-ting clothing. For more information or to register please call Deacon Tim at 412-787-1472 or email him at [email protected]
