Dear Parish Family,
Welcome to Ordinary Time in our liturgical church year! We have seven and a half weeks of Ordinary Time before we en-
ter the season of Lent. During this period in Ordinary Time the gospel each Sunday reminds us once again who this Jesus is
that we follow. I also want to welcome Mike Vigorita who joined our staff recently here at Holy Eucharist. Mike and his
family have been parishioners for awhile in the parish. Mike will be overseeing sacramental preparation and children’s
RCIA. I and the rest of the staff look forward to working with Mike as we continue our mission and vision for the parish to
grow disciples.
Don’t forget the Wine Fest next Saturday January 26 at 7:00pm. This is a great parish event. If you have not bought a ticket
yet you can get one after mass today or call the parish office.
When you think of being Catholic, what do you think of? Perhaps you grew up with your only associations being fasting,
nuns with rulers, and "Catholic guilt." Our faith can sometimes have the connotation of restriction and absence, not abun-
dance. Who is God in your life? Is He the divine law-giver, the judge punishing the rule-breakers? These are certainly attrib-
utes of God. But the laws don't exist for themselves alone. They exist to help us love one another as God loves us.
And this loving God is the author of abundance and joy.
Did you hear today's Gospel? "There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee." Here at this wedding, Jesus would perform "the
beginning of his signs...and so reveal his glory." This first sign isn't a miraculous healing. He didn't raise someone from the
dead. He kept a party going! "There were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to
thirty gallons...the water...had become wine." The wine has run out. Jesus creates somewhere between 120 and 180 gallons
to help his friend save face. We may not have such momentous miracles in our lives, but God is watching out for us. The
string of green lights when you're running late. The sale on the replacement appliance you need. The friend who calls at just
the right time. These are the little moments of God's abundance. We just need to look for them!
Not only does Jesus surprise, but the guests point out to their host: "You have kept the good wine until now." The divine
wine is better than the earthly variety. God's goodness is better than what we can grasp at for ourselves. Isn't that how it al-
ways goes?
Keep warm and have a wonderful week.
I will see you on the weekend!
Fr. Andrew
A MESSAGE FROM FATHER ANDREW

January 20, 2019 - 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
“To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.”
1 Corinthians 12:7
St. Paul tells us that God has blessed each of us for a reason. How has God blessed
you? Are you using your gifts according to God’s plan? How are you helping to build
God’s kingdom here on earth? Remember that if you don’t do the work God planned
for you, no one else can do it. Live the life God has intended for you, feel His
love, peace and joy!
