Remembering the deceased members of our parish on their anniversary of death.

Bereavement Ministry

On January 12, 2020, we will check on how we are doing with progress through our grief journey. We will meet in room 9 after the 9 a.m. Mass as we do each 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. We are a caring ministry but not a professional one. Don’t put on a happy face because you think it’s expected. Grief denied is grief unhealed. - Barbara Bartocci

Prayer Shawl Ministry

If you love to knit or crochet, and have compas-sion for others, the Holy Spirit Prayer Shawl

Ministry may be the perfect ministry for you. Our Prayer Shawl Ministry is a group of dedicated members who meet Fridays from 9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m., in the Social Hall. Love, care, and compassion, have been combined into this prayerful ministry that

reaches out to those in the parish and the sur-rounding community who are in need of comfort and support. There are many blessings that are knitted/crocheted into every item made by the Prayer Shawl Ministry. Come join us! Also, if you need a prayer shawl for a loved one, contact the Parish Office at (480) 838-7474 for more infor-mation.

LIGHT OF THE WORLD Epiphany can be understood as an extension of the Nativity of the Lord that we celebrate on December 25. While at Christmas we celebrate Jesus’ coming as the long-awaited king and Messiah of the Jewish people, on Epiphany we celebrate the revelation that Jesus is the Savior and Light of all na ons - Jews, Gentiles, and all people. The star shines so brightly that it attracts magi who come from far distant countries to worship Jesus. They are not Jews, yet they are drawn to the Light of the world. The letter to the Ephesians reveals that the Light of the world was for the Gentiles as well as the Jews - Christ gathers all people into the light of his love. The reading from Isaiah also describes a gathering of diverse peoples, but this time it is to the light that ema-nates from the people of God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Women’s Organization Ministry The Women’s Organization will be holding its next regular meeting on Tuesday, January 7, at 7 p.m., in Rm. 11 New members are always welcome!

SAINT ELIZABETH ANN SETON (1774-1821) January 4

Though her liturgical designation is “Religious,” Elizabeth Seton, her feast-day prayer reminds us, was also wife, mother, educator, foundress. Born into a wealthy Episcopalian family, Elizabeth married William Seton, whose untimely death in Italy where the young family sought healing for William’s tuberculosis, left her, at twenty-nine, a widow with five children. Inspired by the faith and charity of the Italian family with whom they stayed, Elizabeth embraced Catholicism despite her family’s disowning her and ceasing financial support. This woman of many firsts (and several vocations!) opened the first free Catholic school, beginning the American Catholic educational system, and founded the first American religious community for women, the Sisters of Charity. The tuberculosis that claimed her husband took also her oldest and youngest daughters and, finally, at just forty-seven, Elizabeth herself. Another first: in 1975 she was canonized the first native-born American saint. Once asked to summarize her spirituality, she replied: “Faith lifts the staggering soul on one side, hope supports it on the other, experience says it must be, and love says let it be!” —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
