The Sick of the Parish

PAGE THREE FEBRUARY 17, 2019

The Holy Father speaks… The Beatitudes are a roadmap for our life: they invite us to keep our hearts pure, to practice meekness and justice, to be merciful to all, to live affliction in union with God. The Christian way is that of the Beatitudes: meekness, humility, patience in suffering, love for justice, ability to endure persecution, not judging others. Meekness and tenderness: these human virtues seem small, but they can overcome the most difficult conflicts. God is with those who seek peace. From heaven He blesses every step which, on this path, is accomplished on earth.

$5.00 WILL YOU HELP?

Thank You

The new "Electric information screens" in the Basilica lobby were donated in memory of Marianne and Anthony Donofrio

by their children. We thank them for this and for their continued generosity to our parish. The annual parish calendars are also donated

by the Donofrio family.

We are very grateful to them.

Statement from DeSales Media Group, the parent company of The Tablet

These days, the Good News sometimes can be bad news. The recent headlines about sex abuse in the Church are just one example of how the media treats the Church. Many times there are inaccuracies in media accounts. Sometimes the full story is not told. We need to keep the ‘voice’ of Catholic news and perspective, both within the Diocese and beyond, alive and strong. For over 110 years, the Diocese has published The Tablet which this year was voted the Newspaper of the Year at the national Catholic Media Convention; many parishioners have welcomed The Tablet into their homes on a weekly basis for many years. The Tablet is now at a crossroads. Due to the many financial commitments that individual parishes have, The Tablet is now being transitioned from its former publishing model, which relied heavily on parish funding, to a new, reader-paid model. Parishes will not be asked to pay for your subscriptions to The Tablet. That’s where we need your help. Right now, for a very modest cost, you can receive The Tablet on a home-delivered basis (50 times a year) for only $28 – that’s half the cover price of $1 per copy. Sign–up cards are available today in the back of church. We hope that you will consider keeping The Tablet coming into your home or becoming a new subscriber. The Tablet will assure you a full picture of what’s going on in our Church. With the Church receiving so much attention these days, you owe it to yourself to stay informed and the best way is through the Catholic Press. If you prefer to pick up your copy in church, there will be new bins available at the doors of the church. We ask that you purchase your copy for $1 and place it in the slot. That money will be returned to your parish to cover the cost of the paper. Please help us keep the important Catholic voice in media strong by subscribing today! Thank you.
