A Reflection from the desk of the Pastor Third Sunday of Ordinary Time

January 24, 2021 Year B This Sunday, we hear Mark’s account of the call of Jesus’ first disciples. This account is slightly different from that of the gospel of John. Mark’s account talks of Jesus meeting his first disciples as he walks by the sea of Galilee. He meets Simon and Andrew who are going about their daily business of fishing. Jesus asks them, by his call, to leave familiar surroundings and obligations and take up a vocation that would require a complete change of their lifestyles. Their obedience was prompt and radical. Mark lays more emphasis on this fact by stating that they abandoned their nets and followed Jesus. Jesus also calls the brothers James and John in the same manner. There is something about the response of these first disciples that is worthy of emulation. When they are called by Jesus to follow him, they respond with a sense of urgency. His call takes precedence over their need to earn a livelihood. They put aside their preferences and three of them (Peter, James, and John), become the closest disciples of Jesus. Perhaps we can learn from these disciples how to respond with urgency to the call of God each day.

2020 Catholic Service and Ministry Appeal (CSMA)

The CSMA supports many of the organizations within the Belleville diocese that reach out to the poor, address Catholic education and support our seminarians (for a full list of the organizations they support, visit: https://www.diobelle.org/catholic-service-ministry-appeal).

The diocese report as of December 14, 2020 states they have received pledges amounting to $1,076,114, which represents 102% of their goal. Cash receipts total $1,025,929 which is 95% of the total amount pledged. A total of 5,494 households have pledged their support, which is 164 households more than compared to this time last year.

The report for our parish as of December 14, 2020 is: we have 105 households with a target donation goal of $3,866. In 2020 19 households donated a total of $1,715 leaving a shortfall of our goal of $2,151.

While the diocese as a whole reports an increase, they also realize that the agencies they support are seeing an increase in those who need help, especially from those effected by the pandemic. If you have not yet pledged, please prayer-ful consider your stewardship this year. No one person can do much, but as a collective people of God, we can do a lot. May God bless you and your family. The Most Reverend Michael G. McGovern, Bishop of Belleville

Respect for Life Corner

“Repent and believe in the gospel.” In Mark 1:14-20, Unlike Jonah, Jesus is not a reluctant prophet. He is steadfast in determination to spread the good news! He walks from village to village as a “one

man band” at times, trying to save us from sin, trying to save us from ourselves. At times, his disciples didn’t understand his saving message of redemption as he walked the earth. But he didn’t give up. We too must be like Jesus and be fishers of souls. Finding those who are hurting and praying for them and guiding them. Learn, Act, Connect and Pray- We have Christ’s same life-changing words today when we read the scriptures and hear them proclaimed at Mass. We pray that our hearts may be touched and that we repent our sins and truly believe. Christ died for each one of us and we pray that his words can transform us as we examine our life’s priorities and choose to follow Him.

February 17-March 28, 2021
