4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"In celebration of Catholic Schools Week 2012"
Bishop Timothy A. McDonnell, Presider
Bishop of Springfield
Today, we celebrate in a special way as we
welcome several representatives
of Catholic Schools and mark the beginning of Catholic Schools
Week and highlight the theme "Catholic Schools: Faith.
Academics.Service." Three priorities make Catholic schools
stand out from other educational institutions.
Children are taught faith...not just the basic tenets of Christianity,
but how to have a relationship with God. Children are taught
academics, which in Catholic schools are held to very high standards,
to help each child reach his or her potential. They experience
service, the giving of one's time and effort to help others,
as an expression of both faith and good citizenship.

5th. Sunday in Ordinary Time
Rev. John K. Sheaffer, Presider
Today we continue with our celebration of
Catholic Schools. We welcome today members from St. Mary's School
in Lee, MA. In less than three weeks from today, the holy season
of Lent will begin, calling us to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving,
disciplines by which we will express our love for God and free
ourselves from more selfless service to our neighbor. Mark's
Gospel presents Jesus' life as the perfect pattern for disciples
to follow. Let us open our hearts to the challenge of God's
word, as we begin a new month together.
