THE THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
FOCUS: Now is the time to respond to God and
seize every grace-filled moment.
LITURGY OF THE WORD: In our first reading
we hear that, through the preaching of Jonah, the
Ninevites returned to God. In our second reading,
Saint Paul tells the Corinthians that they are to live
in readiness to meet the Lord. The Gospel from
Saint Mark recounts how the first Apostles heeded
the voice of Christ and responded immediately
with their lives.

Is God Calling You? Vocational discernment
groups meet to assist young men who are
discerning the possibility that God may be calling
them to a life of priestly ministry. These groups are
designed to explore a priestly vocation with other
like-minded men through prayer and sharing
vocation stories and experiences. The group
meetings are not meant to convince anyone that the
priesthood is their vocation. They are designed to
assist you in discovering if the priesthood is your
true vocation and build your relationship with
Christ along the way.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God...it is right
to give Him thanks and praise. Come to the Peace
of Christ Prayer Group for an opportunity to get
together with others who give thanks and praise to
our God and pray for each others needs. We meet
in the High School Meeting room on Thursday
evenings at 7:30 PM (except on days when school is
closed).
ROSARY PRAYER CENACLE invites you to
say the Whole Rosary, sing hymns to Our Lady
and read the meditation every Wednesday at 6PM

OUR LADY NEEDS YOUR HELP: Please come
say the Rosary every 2nd & 4th Monday, 2 to 3 PM at
the Meridian Rehab Center, Shrewsbury. Call Lucy
