FEBRUARY 2, 2020 The Presentation of the Lord

THE MISSION OF ST. MARIA GORETTI CATHOLIC CHURCH

IS TO EXTEND THE KINGDOM OF GOD

BY SHARING GOD’S LOVE IN THE CHURCH COMMUNITY

THROUGH SPIRIT-FILLED LITURGIES, RELIGIOUS EDUCATION,

AND SERVICE TO OTHERS.

2 | St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church · Westfield, IN November 25, 2012 Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time 2 | St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church · Westfield, IN February 2, 2020 The Presentation of the Lord

A NOTE FROM FATHER KEVIN

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

+ Pax et Bonum!

Every February 2nd, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord,

which occurs forty days after Christmas, and is also known as Candlemas Day, since

traditionally today is the day that we bless all of our candles that are to be used throughout the

year. Today, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, which falls on Sunday this year, supersedes the Fourth Sunday

in Ordinary Time. Our readings and prayers today will reflect this special Feast Day. We’re glad that you’re here with

us for this celebration! In a special way we welcome all of our guests and visitors who join us for Masses this

weekend.

I wanted to make you aware that we have made the decision to NOT participate in the Destination Jesus Youth

Weekend coming up later this month. Our high school folks will not be attending. We will not need to use our

buildings to house the attendees. And our Parish will not be needed to assist with the putting on of the weekend. For

our part, this is not a decision that we have taken lightly, as St. Maria Goretti has been very involved in Destination

Jesus since its inception in 1995. The Youth Weekend is roughly the same age as our community. And yet, over

those years, Destination Jesus has changed a great deal. Sometimes, when we just keep doing the same thing over

and over every year, things can look very much the same on the surface, so much so that we go through all the

motions, but we can lose the meaning of why we are doing what we’re doing in the first place. The last few years have

seen the numbers of youth attending Destination Jesus continue to fall. It has gotten harder and harder to get our

youth to attend the weekend. In addition, there are now more opportunities than ever before, besides Destination

Jesus, for our youth to attend. There are more retreats, workshops, conferences, and events like the National

Catholic Youth Convention (NCYC) this past fall, right here in Indianapolis. In November, 35 youth and 7 adults from

our Parish attended NCYC, and had a wonderful experience. As a Parish family, we remain as committed as ever to

the very best programs and opportunities for the Faith formation of our young people. I, perhaps more than anyone,

am saddened that the Destination Jesus weekend is not working as it once did. Perhaps it is just time for something

new.

Throughout this month of February we’re going to be launching a new stewardship program called “Come Build

God’s Kingdom!” You’ll be hearing a lot about this in the next few weeks. Basically, we’re asking everyone to re-

evaluate what we are doing and how we are doing at responding to God’s great love! Keep reading the Bulletin and

watching your mail for more details. It’s going to be an exciting month!

I know several of you were able to attend the first “Civilian Response to an Active Shooter” education event that

took place last week. I thank Parishioner Bill Clifford of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department for putting on this

class for us. A second opportunity to hear this information is being offered this coming week, on Thursday, February

6th, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM, in the Parish Office Narthex. Also, a special thank you to Jay Schemanske and all of our

Ministers of Welcome who have all shown such a special interest in this concern, and who have been so willing to

learn as much as they can to keep us all safe and at peace!

Tomorrow is the Feast of St. Blaise, Bishop and Martyr, and Patron of those who diseases or injuries to the

throat. We will have the Blessing of Throats after both our 7:00 AM and our 5:30 PM Masses tomorrow. I have always

loved the Blessing of St. Blaise. I think it’s because the blessed candles used for the Blessing of Throats always

tickled my neck! Come and join us tomorrow!

Have a great week! Let us keep one another in our prayers!

In Christ,

Fr. Kevin

Be careful of your thoughts for they may break into words at any time.

Welcome! For more than 24 years now, we have been building the Kingdom of God, not with a few people, but

with everyone! Please accept my warmest welcome, and I pray you will come to know St. Maria Goretti as we all

do—our Spiritual Home and Loving Community. We are glad you are here and look forward to meeting you!

God Bless you. —Father Kevin

BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW. —REV 2 1:5 DOL-IN.ORG/UIH ׀ [email protected] ׀ @DIOLAFIN

Uniting in Heart is the Diocesan pastoral plan to unite our diocese in the heart of Jesus Christ through living out the 3 Pillars of Mission, Community, and Witness.

Many questions have arisen from the 2030 Pastoral Plan. This week we learn about our role as missionary disciples.

MISSIONARY DISCIPLESHIP

Missionary discipleship is following Jesus Christ in and through His Church to share the gospel message

with our family and our neighbors, to the ends of the earth. Missionary discipleship involves getting all

the baptized to understand that we are called to mission—not maintenance.

IMMUNIZATION NOTICE

FOR 5TH GRADE PARENTS

Eleven-year-olds entering

6th grade in Indiana are required to receive the menin-

gitis vaccine, and an updated tetanus/pertussis vac-

cine known as “Tdap”. The “tetanus booster” cannot be

received until after the 10th or 11th birthday (depending

on the drug manufacturer). This vaccine has dramati-

cally lowered the number of pertussis cases in middle

school and high school students in Indiana. The menin-

gitis vaccine has reduced incidents of this serious dis-

ease in our adolescent and young adult group. Make

sure all vaccines are received before entering 6th

grade. If you have questions regarding the above, call

the nurse’s office, 317-896-5582, ext. 204.
