Family Prayer 

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading I : Nehemiah 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10

The Word of God speaks to all who hear it.

• In today’s reading, Ezra presents the Torah to the people as the Word of God.
• The Torah consists of the first five books of the Bible.
• After the people listened to Ezra, they rejoiced with a great celebration for God’s gift of the Word.

Reading II : 1 Corinthians 12:12-30

We are the body of Christ and each is a different part.

• The reading from 1 Corinthians presents Paul’s image of the Christian community as one body alive in one Spirit.
• In a healthy body all parts serve for the welfare of the whole.
• One of the gifts held by the Christian community is the gift of the Word of God.

Gospel : Luke 1:1-4, 4:14-21

Jesus is the fulfillment of the Scriptures.

• In the introduction to this Gospel, Luke suggests that he knows of other Gospel accounts.
• The story of the beginning of Jesus’ ministry follows Luke’s introduction.
• Today’s passage highlights compassion and liberation as the theme of Jesus’ ministry and concern for the weakest members of society the mark of his identity as Messiah.

Catholic Schools Week January 26th thru February 1st

Catholic Schools Week is here. Catholic Schools Week is designed to celebrate all the great things happening in our Catholic schools. It starts with our open house on January 25th from 2:00-4:00 pm. Stop in and say hi. Share with your friends and family that may be interested in joining our school community.

Students who wear their school uniform and help or participate in our Open House or Mass, will receive an out of uniform pass to be used in the month of February. 

Catholic Schools Week will be filled with activities for our students. Something will be happening each day. Please see the flyer in the Thursday folder for Catholic Schools Week special events. 

January Birthday out of uniform day change

Due to school being cancelled on January 21 our out of uniform day for January birthdays has been rescheduled to Friday, January 24. If your child has a January birthday they may be out of uniform on Friday.



Does your child have a public library card? 

We have a great selection of books in our classroom and school libraries, but sometimes it’s nice to have more options, especially over the weekend or over breaks. The cost of books for your home library can add up fast, and the public library is a great place to explore other book options without the cost! Some libraries even offer raffles to enter for kids who complete reading logs. If you are interested in getting a free library card for your child, check out these link for more information:
