HEALTH MINISTRY TIP: Fruits and vegetables make

the perfect “grab and go” food, since most fruits and many

vegetables, like carrots, celery, and bags of pre-washed

snap peas need no preparation.

ADVANCE NOTICE: Ash Wednesday is March 5th

which is the beginning of the Easter season. In order to

offer our Lenten fish fries this year, we need a volunteer

to head them. Kriston Galish needs to step down due to

taking on a full time job but is willing to help get you

started. Last year we profited $22,542.67 from this fund-

raiser. That’s a lot of money for a 6 week project. You

can even team up with another person to head them. If

interested, please call the rectory (947-3363).

ON MISSION FOR THE CHURCH ALIVE! You

Are My Beloved Son, With You I Am Well Pleased -

As Jesus was being baptized by John in the Jordan River

we are told of amazing things happening. First, the heav-

ens were opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon Je-

sus in the form of a dove. Then, the voice of God the

Father from heaven thundered, saying, “You are my be-

loved Son; with you I am well pleased.” Jesus did not

need to be baptized for the same reason we do. As the

Son of God, he was without sin. Yet, to be baptized is to

be anointed to fulfill the mission of God the Father in the

world. By being baptized in the Jordan, Jesus set an ex-

ample for us to follow. Through baptism we are freed

from original sin, sanctified by the Holy Spirit to share in

the life of God through the Sacraments and in the

Church, and anointed to fulfill the mission of faith, hope,

and love that God the Father has chosen for us. While

the Holy Spirit does not descend like a dove, he is present

in and through the baptized from the moment of baptism.

And while the walls of the church do not shake with the

thundering voice of the Father, the halls of heaven ring

with joy as every new beloved son and daughter of God

is welcomed into the life of faith through baptism. Our

baptism was not simply a ritual, but a life-changing event

that is in effect throughout our lives. How can the grace

of baptism continue to be at work for the good of our par-

ishes and communities? Visit onmissionchurchalive.org

to learn more and to stay informed.�����

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE: Holy Spirit, make my

heart open to the Word of God. Make my heart open to

the goodness. Make my heart open to the beauty of God

every day.�

Pope Francis

$31,406.50. What is not taken in through your donations

HELP NEEDED: It’s not too early to start planning our

Lenten Fish Fries. This is by far our largest fundraiser

and requires a lot of help the days of the fish fry and the

days leading up to it. We are looking for volunteers for

kitchen help during the week to prep for the Friday fish

fry in addition to help the days of the fish fry. We can’t

afford to lose our largest fundraiser, so please consider

offering some of your time. Our 2018 fish fries were the

most successful ever, so we have a lot to live up to for

2019 to make them bigger and better than ever! Contact

the rectory to volunteer or for more info.

BAPTISM CLASS: The next baptism class for our par-

ish grouping will be at 6:00 p.m. this Tuesday, January

15th, at St. Patrick’s social hall in Oakdale. To attend,

you must register ahead of time by contacting Ms. Car-

mela Galloway at 724-695-7325 or stcolumbkillepar-

ish@comcast.net. This class is for those who belong to

any of our six parishes and are baptizing their first child.
