Dear Parishioners, This week marks the beginning of Catholic Schools Week, a time when we especially promote and give thanks for Catholic schools. It is impossible to quantify the value of a Catholic school education, of learning in an atmosphere in which your Catholic faith is nurtured and celebrated. Parents are the first educators of their children in the ways of faith, but having that education reinforced throughout the day makes it a little easier “to see to it that the divine life which God gives them is kept safe,” as we hear at baptism. We are proud to be one of two parishes that sponsors the great school of Notre Dame Academy. I encourage you to watch a brief and inspiring video testimonial from St. Gabriel and Immaculate Heart of Mary parishioners about the impact of a Catholic education. It can be found on NDA’s homepage at www.nda-mn.org. As we support our young parishioners to grow in their faith, please consider a visit to Notre Dame Academy during Catholic Schools Week. Tour Sunday is this weekend, January 27, from 9:30am - 12:00pm. We will also have the annual Blizzard Bingo at the school on Saturday, February 2, starting at 5:30 pm. To learn more, you can contact Joann Meyer at [email protected]. -Fr. Liekhus Come to Me all who labor and are burdened… Jesus continues to ask us to come to Him. Miracles happen in Adoration. Please consider joining our community of a rers and commit to one hour with our r Adorers are needed for the following hours: Sunday at 11 p.m. Monday at 12 a.m. midnight Tuesday at 2pm and 11 p.m. Friday at 11 a.m. and 7p.m. Saturday at 11 a.m. For information or to register to adore Our Lord, please call Barb: (952) 933-8423 Luis Becerra: (612) 600-6821, or Roberta: (952) 935-1774, r ee s@ tma c m

Members of the Nocturnal Adoration Society are called to spend one hour, once a month, during the hours of the night in prayer before the Eucharist. The St. Gabriel Nocturnal Society meets every FIRST FRIDAY of the month in the chapel at St. Joseph campus, from 8:00 to 11:00pm. The next evening of Nocturnal Adoration is Friday, February 1. We invite all parishioners to come to the chapel at 8:00, 9:00, or 10:00pm and “spend one hour with Him.” Our monthly hour before the Blessed Sacrament is a mixture of read prayer and responses from the “Office of the Blessed Sacrament,” the official prayer book of the Nocturnal Adoration Society, and silent individual prayer. Join us once a month for an hour to explore how Eucharistic Adoration can deepen your experience of communion with Christ Eucharistic! Join us for the weekly West Metro Young Adults Sport’s Night. These events are Friday nights at St. Gabriel’s , 6 Interlachen Road in Hopkins.

Nehemiah 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10; 1 Corinthians 12:12-30; Luke 1:1-4; 4:14-21

I like to imagine that I was present in the synagogue when Jesus walked in that day. I would hear him read from Isaiah as Isaiah foretold the coming of the Messiah. And then when Jesus sat down, I would hear him proclaim he was the fulfillment of that reading. WOW! That should have gotten everyone’s attention. I would like to imagine that I was present as a 15-year-old boy, as a 30 -year-old man and as a 50-year-old man. What would my reaction have been at those ages? Questions: • As a 15-year-old, you would have known Jesus as one of the young adults in town. Could you have seen him as the long-awaited Messiah? • As a 30-year-old, could you see him, your play mate, as the Messiah? • As a 50-year-old, would you say, “I’ve watched him grow up, and he is just what I expect the Messiah to be. • Discuss among yourselves what your reaction would have been at the various ages. For more information or to sign up for a small group, contact Karen Fish at 952-239-1949.

27th World Day of the Sick Mass

celebrated by Bishop Andrew Cozzens

February 9, 10 a.m. at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, West St. Paul. This annual Mass reminds us all to pray for the sick and to honor those who work in health care, including caregivers. Special blessings with water from Lourdes from the Order of Malta will be available! Following Mass there will be a reception and a talk by Hennepin County Medical Center Chaplain and Curatio's chaplain, Father Marcus Milless. Everyone is welcome, especially those who are ill, caregivers, and health care workers. Funeral Luncheons: You are invited to share in this Fellowship Ministry! "The Funeral Luncheon Ministry reaches out with care and hospitality to those grieving the loss of a loved one, to let them know they do not walk alone.” You can share in this ministry in at least a few ways: ♦ Add your name to our list of people willing to bring desserts for funeral luncheons. We usually ask for two dozen cookies, bars or brownies, baked at home or purchased. The more people we have on this list, the more we can share in this fellowship! ♦ Add your name to the list of people willing to help set up, serve and clean up after funeral lunches. ♦ Consider helping with the coordination of funeral lunches. Coordinators make the initial contact with a family to confirm the menu and the number of people. Then they contact the caterer to place the order, and luncheon ministers to help serve. The parish office will help you get the resources you need. The more people we have to help, the more we can share the ministry! Please call or e-mail Sheila in the parish office.

Please send 650 copies this week.

3rd domingo del teiempo ordinario

27 de enero de 2019

Queridos feligreses, Esta semana marca el comienzo de la Semana de las Escuelas Católicas, un momento en el que especialmente promovemos y damos gracias por las escuelas Católicas. Es imposible cuantificar el valor de una educación escolar católica, de aprender en una atmósfera en la que se nutre y celebra su fe católica. Los padres son los primeros educadores de sus hijos en los caminos de la fe, pero al tener esa educación reforzada a lo largo del día, es más fácil "velar por que la vida divina que Dios les da se mantenga a salvo", como escuchamos en el bautismo. Estamos orgullosos de ser una de las dos parroquias que patrocinan la gran escuela de la Academia de Notre Dame. Los animo a ver un breve e inspirador video testimonial de feligreses de San Gabriel y del Inmaculado Corazón de María sobre el impacto de la educación católica. Se puede encontrar en la página de inicio de NDA en www.nda-mn.org. Mientras apoyamos a nuestros jóvenes feligreses para que crezcan en su fe, considere una visita a la Academia de Notre Dame durante la Semana de las Escuelas Católicas. El domingo de recorrido es este fin de semana, 27 de enero, de 9:30 a.m. a 12:00 p.m. También tendremos el bingo anual de Blizzard en la escuela el sábado 2 de febrero, a partir de las 5:30 pm. Para obtener más información, puede contactar a Joann Meyer en [email protected]. Padre Liekhus

Grupo de Oración ~~ Sábados 7:00pm SÓLO JESÚS Debemos orar sin cansarnos, porque la salvación de la humanidad no depende del éxito material… sino sólo de Jesús. Id y comed manjares grasos, bebed bebidas dulces y mandad su ración a quien no tiene nada preparado…" (Nehemías 8:10) Las instrucciones de Ezra a la gente nos muestran que Dios no nos prohíbe disfrutar de las cosas buenas de la vida. ¡Quiere que seamos felices! Sin embargo, Dios espera que estemos agradecidos por todo lo que nos ha dado y que, sin esperar nada a cambio, compartamos generosamente nuestras bendiciones con aquellos que lo necesitan.

¡Ayúdenos hornear galletas para nuestra venta anual de pasteles! Sábado 2 de febrero, de las 9 am a 12 pm, en el campus de St. Joseph salón social / cocina.
