ONE BOOK, ONE PARISH January 11 is this month’s Joy of the Gospel Sunday! We invite you to join with your fellow St.

On Sunday, January 11 , after the 10 AM Mass, we invite you to join other parishioners in the
choir room downstairs for refreshments and a discussion of Chapter Two. There is no need to
have “studied up” in advance – all are welcome.

Another discussion group will gather on Tuesday, January 13 , at 7:15 PM in the Parish Offices,
2 Floor Living Room. You are most welcome to attend. Again, no need to have done the
reading in advance.

The Spiritual Life Commission is also offering a Mid-Winter Film Night on Saturday, January
24 . Come witness the “Joy of the Gospel” in solidarity with the poor as we encounter the life
of Dorothy Day depicted in the film Entertaining Angels, starring Moira Kelly and Martin Sheen.
We begin at 5:00pm with a soup and bread supper, followed by film viewing and discussion.
Donation at the door ($5 suggested) to support Haley House, the Catholic Worker House of
Hospitality in Boston and their bakery training program. Please RSVP by January 20 to the

To help you pray and reflect with The Joy of the Gospel, here are reflection questions for
Chapter Two:
1. In what ways am I negatively affected by a culture of prosperity? What can I do to make
sure that I value people over money or possessions?
2. How can I help change the culture where I live? What might God be calling me to do to
evangelize the culture, either individually or with other Christians?
3. Am I tempted to a “practical relativism” by acting as if God does not exist? Am I
tempted to guard my free time? Am I overly fatigued by the work I do for the Church?
How can I grow in hope and be a source of living water from which others can drink?
4. How can I avoid a selfish “spiritual consumerism” and self-centeredness, and instead
develop a generosity of spirit that develops deep bonds with others? What changes
might I have to make in my life so that I am truly giving of myself and involved in the
lives of others?
5. How might I be an agent of healing among people who disagree or an unreconciled? If I
am angry with someone, can I pray for that person? How is such a prayer an act of
evangelization?
6. Why is it important to recognize “feminine genius” and create broader opportunities
women in the Church?
Our thanks to The Word Among Us Press for these questions.

La Página Hispana
Queridos Parroquianos,
Este domingo pasado tuvimos una Misa lindísima durante la celebración de la Epifanía.
Si tienen ganas de ver algunas fotos maravillosas pueden ir al sitio flickr.com,
¡inscríbanse y vayan al sitio de la parroquia!, ignacio02467.
Como saben, he estado tratando de 3ecorder3 conversaciones en 3ecord y en Español
para miembros de la comunidad que tienen ganas de practicar un idioma. En este
momento hay diez 3ecorder33s, anglo-parlantes que están dispuestos a ayudar a
miembros de la comunidad latina en la práctica del idioma. Algunos de ellos 3eco
tienen el interés de ayudar a hablar 3ecord. Otros también quieren aprender Español. Si
tiene ganas de practicar y mejorar su 3ecord, por favor déjenmelo saber. Habrá una lista
en el Friary Room para que se puedan 3ecorder3. Necesito saber su flexibilidad durante
la semana. Algunas personas están disponible durante el día, otras el fin de semana.
Como es de costumbre, voy a ir a Jamaica por ocho días y no estaré presente durante
dos domingos en la Misa. Les digo que extrañaré nuestras celebraciones pero Victoria
Urbaneja de la comunidad va a acompañarnos y me ayudará a 3ecorder a mis amigos
de Boston.
Sinceramente,
Padre Bob
