Sacrament of Matrimony Couples contemplating marriage at St. Jude’s parish are required to make contact with the parish office and review the marriage package before an interview with the priest. Diocesan regulation demands that marriages are booked one year in advance minimum.

MASS INTENTIONS Saint Paul implores us to recognize that we are holy ground. We are the body of Christ and as its various members are called to do great things. In the Gospel, Jesus recognizes himself as holy ground — called to bring good news to the poor, the captives and the op-pressed. Can we recognize ourselves as holy ground? In her writings, Teresa of Avila reminds us that Christ has no body now on earth but ours. No hands, no feet on earth but ours. We, the people whom Jesus calls by name, are called to free the oppressed, and give sight to the blind. Are we up for this challenge?

Mass of Installation Saturday, February 13, 2016 during the 5:00pm Mass I will be installed as pastor. of St. Jude’s Parish. The Most Reverend John A. Bois-sonneau will come and lead the ceremony. All of you, my brothers and sisters are most welcome to be a part of this celebration. Right after mass there will be a reception in the Parish Hall. Thank you and I hope to see you at the Mass and installation ceremony. Rev. Josue Vargas Lara.

We Need Your Help We ask all parishioners to join us in putting together our social which will take place after the mass.

Celebrate with us by bringing a plate of

food to share with the community as we have done in the past. We need: finger foods, cheese trays,

vegetable trays, sweets, cookies, desserts,

bottled water, pop, juice, disposable plates,

cutlery and cups, napkins, etc.

¨ Please bring the food to the par ish hall

on Saturday, February 13, 2016 starting

at 10:30am.

¨ Non-food items can be brought before

hand to the parish office.

¨ Setting up and Cleaning up: If you wish to help with the setting up and clean-

ing up, please call Doris Dudley at the par-ish office.

The Family of Faith campaign has generat-ed excitement here at St. Jude’s Parish. As the campaign moves into its final weeks here, please carefully consider the commit-ment you can make to this historic cam-paign, if you haven’t already made one. A pledge, redeemed over a five year period, will enable our parish to do so much! With the parish share, we plan to: Invest in youth ministry program & revitalize our social justice ministry to care for the needs of our community Install AC units in our church Remove the old carpeting in the

church ad refinish the flooring Relocate our sacristy to a better location Commit-ment Weekend Pledge Cards will be passed out during all Masses this weekend. You can respond one of three ways: “Yes! I agree to pledge today or

increase my pledge.” “Amen! I have already made a

pledge.” “Praying! I am thinking about my

decision.” You set the terms on what your pledge will be, and how you would like to pay it. It is important to fill out your name, address, and telephone number, so your pledge can be properly recorded and acknowledged and so that reminder notices can be sent directly to you. On behalf of the parish, thank you for your prayers and support of this historic effort! Stay in touch with the campaign at www.ourFamilyofFaith.ca and follow on Twitter:@family_of_faith.

Planning to become a teacher

in the Catholic Schools?

It is critical for you to know that to be hired to teach in any Catholic School Board in Ontario as part of your ap-plication for employment there must be a letter of reference from your pas-tor. If you are planning to apply to teach in a Catholic School, contacting the pastor before Thanksgiving is highly recommended. Please plan to have a conversation with your pas-tor early in the process (not the week before you are submitting your appli-cation) and you will avoid disap-pointment and stress at the time when applications are to be submitted. The following are required by all those requesting a pastoral reference: You are a registered member of the

parish using offertory envelopes for

at least a year prior to the request.

You participate at Sunday/Saturday

mass in our parish for a minimum

of one year prior to the request.

You are involved in some way at

our parish.

Make your request 3 months prior

to the submission of your applica-

tion.

You are the one making the request

personally. No request will be ac-

cepted by any third party, which

includes a relative or a parent.

The pastor has to be able to recom-mend you and that can only happen if he knows you at the basic level of

regular mass attendance. Personal knowledge of the candidate’s faith practice is what the pastor needs to recommend

Questions for Reflection:

Why does Ezra say “today” is holy?

Do you live in the past or the future?

What happens to “now” if you spend all your time looking backward or forward?
