Giving Tree true stories 2017: On Jan. 7th while waiting in line for some food, Janet ran up to one of our members and showed off her new Nike shoes she received for Christmas from one of our parishioners.

She said she never expected to receive such a nice gift. Thank you Good Shepherd! ST.

Faith Formation Contact Laura Hack at [email protected] - 227-4511 x 2006 More information available at http://frankfortgoodshepherd.org/faith-formation Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) Now on Sunday mornings, 9-10:15, PLC, room 1 AND Thursday evenings, 6-7:15, PLC, room 1 The sessions include new content and approaches, but always towards a conversion of heart . . . LOVE GOD + LOVE NEIGHBOR + MAKE DISCIPLES The assembly is invited to bring a candle to be blessed at Mass on Thursday, 8am. From the USCCB (http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-andteachings/vocations/consecrated-life/world-day-for-consecratedlife.cfm): In 1997, Pope Saint John Paul II instituted a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life. This celebration is attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2nd. This Feast is also known as Candlemas Day; the day on which candles are blessed symbolizing Christ who is the light of the world. So too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples. The celebration of World Day for Consecrated Life is transferred to the following Sunday in order to highlight the gift of consecrated persons for the whole Church. Prayer for Consecrated Persons God our Father, we thank you for calling men and women to serve in your Son’s Kingdom as sisters, brothers, religious priests, consecrated virgins, and hermits, as well as members of Secular Institutes. Renew their knowledge and love of you, and send your Holy Spirit to help them respond generously and courageously to your will. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. First Hol Eucharist Important Dates First Communion Practice – May 3rd, 6:30 First Communion & Reception – May 7th, 10:30 Mass, Bilingual.

From Loyola Press, the publisher of Findin God and Our Catholic Identity—the texts used for our REP and Adult Formation programming (http://www.loyolapress.com/our-catholic-faith/saints/saints-storiesfor-all-ages/saint-blase): If you are already familiar with St. Blaise, it is probably because of the blessing of throats—a Catholic custom on his feast. According to tradition, Blaise had been a doctor before he was ordained a priest. He became the bishop of Sebaste (now in central Turkey). During a period of persecution, he fled to a cave where he lived as a hermit. It is said that he cured and tamed the wild animals there. One day hunters discovered him and took him to the governor, who sentenced him to be tortured and killed. About four hundred years after his death, many stories began to be told about Blaise, and he became a popular saint, especially in France and Germany. One legend says that while Blaise was in prison, a mother brought him her small boy, who was choking on a fishbone stuck in his throat. Blaise prayed over the child, and he was healed. Every year on St. Blaise's feast, two candles tied with ribbon in the shape of an X are used to bless throats. In the prayer the Church prays that those blessed may be delivered from diseases of the throat and from every other illness. Candles are used because of another story: It is said that while Blaise was kept in a dark prison, a woman secretly brought him some candles and food. SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION Baptisms, First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, and Marriage, require preparation before entering life in the Sacraments. First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation, all require a minimum of one year of religious education before one year of sacramental preparation can begin. Please contact Laura, contact info above, for more info. Happy Birthday in February! Anne Bilby Christine Goodmann Laura Riddle Nina Tewell Elizabeth ValladaresValles Grayson Sency Angela R.

FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME WALK TO BETHLEHEM UPDATE: We continue to inch closer to Bethlehem. Last week we collectively walked another 110 miles, which puts us between Madrid and the French border. Très bien! In last week's Gospel reading, Jesus called his first 4 disciples: Peter, Andrew, James and John, inviting them to walk with him, become fishers of men, and spread the good news. Our Lord recognized the value of companionship, and last weekend at 2 of our weekend Masses we sang the song "Companions on the a Journey," which says, "We are companions on the journey, breaking bread and sharing life; and in the love we bear is the hope we share for we believe in the love of our God." As you walk the road to Bethlehem, do you walk with a companion, or do you go it alone? Consider inviting someone to walk with you, and as you walk, say a prayer for the lonely and forgotten. Thank God for the ability to walk and bring the good news of Jesus to others, which is ultimately our calling. Thank God for His companionship and the companionship of the many others in our lives. We are in this together. Youth Life Sunday, February 5th – High School Youth Life, 5:30-7:30 Monday, February 6th – Middle School Youth Life, 5:30- 7:30 Take a Chance.....on winning a Car and Cash!
