This letter was going to be a difficult one for him. Sometimes in the Church we try to deal with a difficult situation by means of lawssometimes in our own affairs we deal with difficult situations on our own mental and spiritual power. Paul did none of these: rather he took Jesus to his difficult situation, it was in the light of the Cross of Jesus and the love of Christ that he brought his problems. Divisions had arisen in the Church. 1. There were those who belonged to Paul, no doubt mainly a Gentile Party. 2. There were those who belonged to Apollos, a Jew from Alexandria intelligent and versed in the Scripture. 3. There was Cephas, a Jewish high priest, a legalist who exalted the Jewish law. Bringing the message Home This message of St. Paul to the Corinthians reaches out of history and taps us on the shoulder. We sometimes forget there is one Jesus. There is not a liberal Jesus, a conservative Jesus, a progressive Jesus, a charismatic Jesus nor any other kind of Jesus, except the Real Jesus-the same yesterday, today, tomorrow-The Foundation of Faith.

I present them for your attention so that we might all understand how critical Catholic Education is in Catholic life and in our own parish life. The faith formation that goes on in our Catholic School and in our Religious Education program is of critical importance as Catholic families together with our church efforts, pass on our Catholic faith to our children. Thank you for your attention to this two following communications. - Msgr. Michael D. McGraw SJA CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK 2013-2014 SCHEDULE Monday, January 27 Grandparents/ Special Person Day Prayer Services: Grades 1 and 2 at 8:00am PK-4 and Kindergarten at 9:00am Tuesday, January 28 Open House from 8:15am-10:30am Wednesday, January 29 All-school Liturgy at 9:15am Thursday, January 30 Field Day Friday, January 31 Teacher Appreciation Day CATHOLIC SCHOOLS CELEBRATED THIS WEEK National Catholic Schools Week held January 26 to February 1, 2014 Catholic Schools Week began in 1974, this year the annual event marks its 40th anniversary of celebrating Catholic education in the United States. Schools typically observe National Catholic Schools Week with Masses, open houses, and other activities for students, families, parishioners and the community at large. The theme for this year's National Catholic Schools Week is "Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service." The theme encompasses several concepts that are at the heart of a Catholic education. First, schools are communities - small families in their own right, but also members of the larger community of home, church, city and nation. Faith, knowledge and service are three measures by which any Catholic school can and should be judged. The new logo features a swirl of colors interacting around a cross, which is at the center of all Catholic education. The vibrancy of the colors and the movement and shadows in the logo portray the inner-connectivity and community life that are present in our Catholic schools. In honor of this special week, Gary Gelo, Superintendent of Diocesan Schools, issued the following special message to parishioners: Dear Parishioners, Last weekend our parishes conducted a second collection on behalf of Catholic Schools. "Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service" is this year's national theme. Our Catholic schools have more than 6,000 students enrolled across the Diocese of Palm Beach. Our students are instructed in the faith on a daily basis, have exceptional academic programs and serve our communities in many ways! Our diocese is blessed to have 19 wonderful, faith-filled schools, including two preschool centers and three high schools. Your generous gift in the second collection will assist our schools as they continue to help young people grow in their faith, excel academically and serve humbly. Last year each school received over $7,500 thanks to your generosity! Thank you for your support, Gary Gelo Superintendent of Schools Diocese of Palm Beach JANUARY 26 l ST.

You can earn frequent flyer miles on your contributions to St. Joan of Arc. We now accept most mayor credit cards: TAIZE PRAYER SERVICE THIS TUESDAY! ALL ARE INVITED! On TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2014 AT 7:30PM we will have here at St. Joan a Taize Prayer Service in the Chapel. Taize is a participatory service designed to bring into being a contemplative state through song, prayer, and silence. One of the most essential elements of worship is singing. The short songs used here are repeated over and over in order to produce that meditative state that will hopefully allow us an easier conduit to listening to God. We extend an open invitation to join us for a beautiful meditative evening in prayer, song, and silence. You will be so glad you did! JANUARY 26 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l 5 FROM THE MARRIAGE MINISTRY DIRECTOR MARRIAGE CEREMONY On Saturday, January 18, 2014, I had the joy of being present at the Celebration of Dominique Howard and Aaron DeWitt’s matrimony at our church. Dominique’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brian Howard have been St. Joan of Arc parishioners for many years. Dominique, Danielle and Travis are triplets and along with their brother Kevin attended and graduated from St. Joan of Arc Catholic School. During their studies at St. Joan, they were active participants in the Boys and Girls Scouts, they were Altar Servers at our church and members of our Youth Group. The newlyweds did all of their marriage preparation at our parish and it was very special to see how one of our students continued the journey of parish life at St. Joan of Arc with a beautiful celebration of the Sacrament of Matrimony. We are so proud and rejoice in Dominique’s and Aaron’s happiness. May God bless them with many years of Love, Health, Joy and Faith. Rosario Gonzales MARRIAGE MINISTRY DIRECTOR 6 l ST.

JOAN OF ARC l 7 "MARY'S FIAT TO GOD AND OUR RESPONSE!" Calling the attention of all our ladies parishioners. As in previous years, the Columbiettes are once again sponsoring a day long Annual Retreat this coming February 22, at 9:00am at the Sports Arena with this year's theme: "Mary's FIAT To God And Our Response!" This is indeed a timely call to self-evaluate our response to God as we try to live our lives 24/7 in accordance with His Divine Will. We can learn so much from our Blessed Mother at The Annunciation. Her “YES” to God changed the course of history. But as Jesus himself stated, "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak," hence the need to reinvigorate our commitment as His agents of change in our homes, in our workplaces, and in our society. Come, rest, learn and experience how to make our response to God's call aligned with Mary's FIAT. Please pass on the invitation to others. Our Blessed Mother is waiting for you. See you then. God bless you! - Father Jimmy B.

Our Ministry is composed of more than 35 members; men, women and youth, who do simple yet important tasks like serving as greeters and usherettes to other parishioners and guests, making them feel welcome, being the front-line of our parish. Another important responsibility is collecting properly the offerings, making sure that everyone has an opportunity to give their love offering and assisting during Communion so as to maintain orderliness at all times. Finally, we distribute the Bulletins after Mass to ensure that parishioners receive a copy thus making them aware of the various activities within the week. And as we welcome them gladly, we likewise wish them God’s abundant blessings on their way home. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to join and enjoy a great Ministry. Truly, it is enriching and rewarding as we have personally experienced it through the years of service. Hope you join us and may God bless you and your loved ones!

(Confesiones todos los Sábados a las 5:45pm (antes de la Santa Misa) en la capilla) “Nuestro principal apostolado como cristianos consiste en crear en el mundo un ambiente de auténtica caridad” III DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO, CICLO A SAN MATEO 4, 12-23: LUZ EN LAS TINIEBLAS San Mateo recoge en el Evangelio de la Misa la profecía de Isaías en la que se dice que el Mesías iluminaría toda la tierra. El pueblo que habitaba en tinieblas vio una luz grande; a los que habitaban en tierra y sombras de muerte, una luz les brilló. Como sol apenas amanecido, traeJesús el resplandor de la verdad al mundo, y una claridad sobrenatural a las inteligencias que no quieren permanecer más en la oscuridad de la ignorancia y del erro. A todos nos llama el Señor para ser luz del mundo, y esa luz no puede quedar escondida: «somos lámparas que han sido encendidas con la luz de la verdad». Para dar a conocer la doctrina de Jesucristo, para que ilumine también toda nuestra vida, debemos poner los medios para conocerla con profundidad, con la hondura que pide nuestra formación humana, la edad, la responsabilidad de cara a los hijos, al ambiente que nos circunda, a la sociedad. Debemos conocer con precisión los deberes de justicia de nuestro trabajo y las exigencias de la caridad, que va más allá; el bien que tenemos oportunidad de realizar, y hacerlo; el mal que podría derivar de una determinada actuación, y evitarlo; admitir que, en ocasiones quizá no infrecuentes, tendremos necesidad de pedir consejo y movernos luego con la responsabilidad personal de un buen cristiano que es a la vez un buen ciudadano, un hombre fiel y responsable con su familia, en su trabajo, en sus estudios. MARCHA POR LA VIDA EN WASHINGTON DC 22 DE ENERO DE 2014 Vaticano. A través de un mensaje en sucuentaoficial de Twitter, el Papa Francisco se unió en oración por la Gran Marcha por la Vida que se lleva a cabo hoy en Washington D.C. (EstadosUnidos) y quereúne a cientos de miles de personas al conmemorarse un aniversario más del fallo Roe vs Wade que legalizó el aborto en la nación. “Rezopor la Marcha por la Vida en Washington. ¡Qué Dios nos ayude a respetarsiempre la vida, especialmente la de lo másdébiles!”, se lee en el tuit del Santo Padre. Esta manifestación por la defensa de la vi- dades de la concepción hasta la muerte natural, es la más grande que se realiza cada año en el país con motivo de un aniversario más de la aprobación del aborto a raíz del caso Roe vs. Wade, cuyo fallo permitió la legalización de esta práctica que, en el lapso de 41 años, ha terminado con la vida de 55 millones de bebés en el vientre materno. Rezo por la Marcha por la Vida en Washington. ¡Qué Dios nos ayude a respetar siempre la vida, especialmente la de lo más débiles! Dijo el santo Padre.
