A correction from last week's bulletin regarding the donations going from our parish to the Haiti relief: It is now well over $9000 since we started the weekend of January 16/17. All donations are being made directly to Catholic Relief Services, the international relief organization of the United States Catholic Conference. The Holy See (Vatican) has determined that this organization will be the official organ of the Roman Catholic Church in helping our brothers and sisters in Haiti. Later on we will be asked to help with the local Catholic Church in rebuilding the Catholic infrastructure, with the naming of the new Archbishop to rebuild churches and other Catholic buildings, including the seminary that was completely destroyed and with losing many seminarians in the earthquake.
We thank you for keeping the Clergy of the Fresno Diocese in prayer in our annual convocation this past week. The topic, "The Powerful Spiritual Leadership of an Intentional Presbyterate" was well presented by Father Ron Knott of the Archdiocese of Louisville, KY. It helped us all in fine tuning our leadership styles and the continual assistance of the Holy Spirit that is important to the ordained.
A reminder that we will have our monthly Spanish Mass next weekend at 12:30pm., please pass this information along to your Spanish speaking friends. Since next Sunday, February 7th is Super Bowl Sunday, we will NOT have Mass at Bass Lake, since last year on Super Bowl I said Mass with only ten people at St. Dominic's, as others were enjoying the game. Game begins at 3:30, Miami time, 12:30 Pacific Time.........So, let's all enjoy the game...!
