“All the baptized, whatever their position in the Church or their level of instruction in the faith, are agents of evangelization, and it would be insufficient to envision a plan of evangelization to be carried out by professionals while the rest of the faithful would be simply passive recipients.” –from the new Directory of Catechesis (DFC) #288. This paragraph, from the 2020 DFC, reminds us of our basic call by Jesus to live as missionary disciples within the realities of our daily lives. Plan to join in person at St Pat’s on four Wednesdays in Lent—Mass at 5:30 PM and talk at 6:00 PM—or via livestream as we enter Lenten practice by turning and responding ever more deeply to Jesus’ summons. More details will follow as we approach Ash Wednesday on February 17th.

Keep your eyes on our YouTube Channel, possibly Facebook page and our website for a series of musical offerings from our music ministers! We know that music heals and that our celebrations now are difficult because we can’t sing together. We do this in a safe way now so we can sing together soon… and very soon.

Last Sunday/Monday volunteers from St. Malachi Parish delivered fruit baskets to residents of Lakeview Tower Apartments. This unique St Malachi tradition has been an annual event for about 50 years and continues to be a worthwhile effort. Many thanks to the volunteers who came to personally knock on our neighbors’ doors, wish them Merry Christmas from St. Malachi and give them food for body and soul. Your participation is a Christmas blessing from St. Malachi’s to the community where we serve.
