Parochial Vicar - Fr. Jean Felicien ext. 802 jfelicien@StJamesPennington.org Dear Parishioners, Pastoral Associate - Deacon Rich Hobson ext. 814 “Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place.” These words, rhobson@StJamesPennington.org spoken by Jesus in this week’s Gospel, forewarn all of us, who have been called by Deacon Pat Brannigan, ext. 813 our Baptism to be prophets, of what is waiting if we take up the challenge laid pbrannigan@StJamesPennington.org down for us by Jesus. In last week’s Gospel, the people of Jesus’ home town were in awe and speaking highly of this mighty prophet who they knew as their neigh- Deacon Dick Currie, ext. 812 bor, the son of Joseph the carpenter. Yet, how quickly they turned as Jesus contin- dcurrie@StJamesPennington.org ued to speak about exactly what God’s message was to the people of Israel. Deacon Larry Gallagher “The Nazareth assembly would like to own Jesus, make him conform to their lgallagher@StGeorgeTitusville.org expectations, perhaps do good for their businesses by enticing the crowds to Deacon Moore Hank, ext. 810 Nazareth for some of the miracle-working he has done in Capernaum. But he is a mhank@StJamesPennington.org free prophet, bound by nothing but the compassion for the poor that he Deacon Mike Riley announced. Accepted or not by his own country, it must be enough that he has mriley@StGeorgeTitusville.org spoken out.” (Living Liturgy 2022 P.54) Parish Catechetical Leader We are called to speak out in the name of the poor and those marginalized by Lisa Limongello, ext. 820 society. We are called to speak for the innocent unborn, the aged and elderly who faithformation@StJamesPennington.org are forgotten, for those suffering individuals who some think should have their Music & Worship Director lives mercifully ended.

What type of prophet will I be in today’s publicity@StAlphonsusHopewell.org world? FYI: Long established in the history of the church, bells have been a signal that something special is about to happen. We are beginning to use that signal to assist Parish Office (609)466-0332 us in our celebration of the Mass in our three parishes. You may have noted the Eileen Zysk ringing of bells at the start of Mass to signal that it is time to stand and greet the parishoffice@StAlphonsusHopewell.org celebrant. We are also beginning to train our altar servers to ring the bells during the Eucharistic prayer, when the celebrant elevates the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. We do this to alert us of this special time as the bread and wine become the Parish Office (609)737-2015 body and blood of Jesus Christ through the act Transubstantiation. These simple Judy Petrangeli acts will hopefully make us feel more connected to our Lord during the Holy parishoffice@StGeorgeTitusville.org Sacrifice of the Mass.
