When parents choose St. Stephen’s Catholic School for their children, they partner with the school and parish community to ensure a strong spiritual and academic program, to form their children in the way of the faith, and make Jesus Christ known and loved. Those committed to St. Stephen’s Catholic school are convinced that our students succeed for the following reasons: Catholic Identity: Fr. Jack has high standards for our teachers and for our religion curriculum. The entire school staff is committed to achieving those standards and has high expectations of their students as models of the Catholic faith. A Rigorous Curriculum: St. Stephen’s has always placed a high priority on the basics that include math, science, language arts, and social studies, with religion being the first of the four R’s. Access to technology is important and our students receive specialized instruction in Spanish, Art, Music, Media and Technology, Health and Physical Education. Classroom Structure: Small class sizes ensure attention from the teachers. Staffing and Administration: After the students themselves, teachers are Catholic schools’ most precious assets. The Catholic identity of the school, the academic program, the modeling for the students depends upon the faculty. As a principal, I have come to rely on the talents of skilled parishioners and school parents. Volunteers support all school programs in the school and are a special blessing to us. Funding: Tuition covers 61% of the per-pupil cost. The contribution from parishioner Stewardship giving is 29%, other income earned in school programs and various fundraising events generates 10% of the total cost to educate each child. Self-discipline with a Catholic focus: The emphasis placed on discipline in our school attempts to foster self-discipline. We seek to develop the Christ-like person. Part of being Christ-like requires students to accept responsibility for their actions and to respect others High expectations: The teachers expect every student to achieve. They communicate this to their students, who internalize this value. Commitment of parents: When parents register their children, we tell them that we can’t educate their children spiritually or academically without their support. We’ve never failed when we partnered with the parents. This week, we will be celebrating our identity with all the Catholic Schools across the nation. Our week will begin as students serve as ministers at various Masses with an Open House and book fair to follow. Join us as we pray together and celebrate our faith, our school and our community.

Mr. Ramón Garcia Worship For the Sake of the Gospel: Assembling for Worship Bernie Leach Although I am free in regard to all, I have made myself a slave to all…To the weak I became weak…I have become all things to all…all this I do for the sake of the Gospel (1 Cor 9:19, 22a, 23a). As St. Paul became all things to all people for the sake of the Gospel, we are called to do the same when gathering as a community to celebrate Mass. A series of articles from last summer explored the assembly’s role in the different parts of the Mass. The last few articles described the Liturgy of the Word, so this article picks up with the Prayers of the Faithful, the last part of the Liturgy of the Word. The faithful listen to the General Intercessions and they respond as well. “In the Prayer of the Faithful, the people respond in a certain way to the word of God which they have welcomed in faith and, exercising the office of their baptismal priesthood, offer prayers to God for the salvation of all.” (GIRM #69) “As a rule, the series of intentions is to be MASS Intentions Monday, February 1 8:00 a.m. Cecil Talbot Tuesday, February 2 8:00 a.m. Michelle Dupong Wednesday, February 3 8:00 a.m. Timothy Wesp 9:00 a.m. Special Intention - G.R.

The people, however, stand and give expression to their prayer either by an invocation said together after each intention or by praying in silence.” (GIRM #71) Based upon Roman Missal Formational Materials provided by the Secretariat for the Liturgy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, 2010.

It is not jealous, it is not pompous.” (1 Cor 13:4) Do you get jealous? Do you focus more on the things that other people have than on the gifts that God has given to you? Are you pompous? Do you acquire more possessions to impress others? At times we are all guilty of these things. Pray for more humility. Pray to become less self-centered and more God-centered.
