THE BLESSI�G WE RECEIVE<br />
The blessing we experience in Christ Jesus is proclaimed in Numbers as the special blessing for the people<br />
of Israel. They and we are to be blessed by the invocation of God’s loving kindness, the shining glory of<br />
God’s face turned toward us in love, not away from us in anger. We are blessed by God’s own peace!<br />
Our wish and our hope are fulfilled in this blessing, which is made visible in the coming of Jesus. In Jesus,<br />
the image of the invisible God, God’s face is shown to us and God’s presence is made known to us in faithful<br />
and loving kindness. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.<br />

March for Life Pilgrimage<br />
January 23, 2012<br />
All parishioners are encouraged to join us for the 39 th Annual March for Life on Monday, January 23, 2012. Abortion was<br />
legalized by the Supreme Court on January 22, 1973. Every year since then, hundreds of thousands of citizens participate in a<br />
peaceful, prayerful protest march in Washington, D.C. to heighten public awareness of this grave injustice. There are 2 busses<br />
leaving from <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Patrick</strong> <strong>Church</strong>: the Youth Bus leaves at 12:30 am and the Morning Bus leaves at 6:00 am. High school students<br />
are encouraged to come on the Youth Bus to attend the Youth Rally and Mass for Life with high school teens from around the<br />
country. <strong>St</strong>udents in grades 8 through 12 may attend without a parent; permission forms are required. Younger children are<br />
welcome on either bus if accompanied by a parent. Parents are asked to discuss abortion with their child at an age appropriate<br />
level prior to the March. 4,000 babies die every day in this country due to abortion. This year, we need to send a message to<br />
President Obama that abortion is not health care. Please join us.<br />
Please complete this registration form and drop it in the collection basket by January 8, 2012.<br />

CATHOLIC EDITIO�<br />
Friday, January 12, 2012<br />
<strong>St</strong>udents: Grades 8—12 and their parents<br />
Young people today are confronted with many images<br />
of sexuality and conflicting messages of morality through the<br />
media, internet, and society. Yet, our <strong>Catholic</strong> vision of love and<br />
sexuality remains consistent in the following of the teaching of<br />
Christ. The Silver Ring Thing, <strong>Catholic</strong> Edition, is a high-tech,<br />
high-energy performance that educates teens about the benefits<br />
of pursuing the virtue of chastity, and the dangers of promiscuous<br />
behavior. All teens and parents, and those who serve them, are<br />
invited to attend our live event on Friday, January 13, 2012<br />
at Seton LaSalle High School from 6:30 - 9:00 pm. With<br />
dramas, videos, special effects, and speakers, teenagers will be<br />
motivated in a unique and personal way to choose to commit<br />
to both God and their future vocation by remaining chaste.<br />
Parents, join us for a special parent meeting at 6:00 or at 6:30<br />
pm and receive a special gift. For more information, please go<br />
to www.silverringthing.com. We are anticipating our largest<br />
crowd ever, please register early. (PS. All eighth graders have<br />
already received personal invitations mailed to their homes!)<br />
