Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2017 is January 29 - February 4.
The theme for the National Catholic Schools Week 2017 is “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.” Schools typically observe the annual cele- bration week with Masses, open houses and other activi- ties for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, schools
focus on the value Catholic education pro- vides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation.
Catholic schools benefit all year long from the religious guidance, prayers and support parishes provide. Many parishes join in the National Catholic Schools Week celebra- tion by devoting a Mass to Catholic educa- tion. Schools start the week by inviting pa- rishioners and community members to par-
ish-centered events and school open houses that feature their outstanding academic programs, religious educa- tion and service opportunities.
Desde 1974, la Semana Nacional de las Escuelas Cató- licas es la celebración anual de la educación católica en los Estados Unidos. Comienza el último domingo de enero y dura toda la semana, este año es del 29 de enero al 4 de febrero. El tema de la Semana Nacional de Escue- las Católicas 2017 es "Escuelas Católicas: Comunidades de Fe, Conocimiento y Servicio". Semana de celebración con misas, casas abiertas y otras actividades para estu- diantes, familias, feligreses y miembros de la comunidad.
A través de estos eventos, las escuelas se enfocan en el valor que la educación católica brinda a los jóvenes y sus contribuciones a nues- tra iglesia, a nuestras comunidades ya nuestra nación.
Las escuelas católicas se benefician du- rante todo el año de la orientación reli- giosa, las oraciones y las parroquias de apoyo. Muchas parroquias se unen a la celebración de la Semana Nacional de Escuelas Católicas dedicando una misa a la educación católica. Las escuelas co- mienzan la semana invitando a los feligreses y miembros de la comunidad a los eventos centrados en la parroquia y las casas abiertas de la escuela que ofrecen sus excelentes programas académicos, educación religiosa y oportunida- des de servicio.
“A little bit of mercy makes the
world less cold and more just.” .
- Pope Francis
In today's readings we hear the Beatitudes, attitudes of behavior that Christ gave us. I have worked on many retreats for High School youth and my favorite has always been the one that uses the Beatitudes to help the teens look at their lives.
You may ask why? Well, I think one of the hardest lessons we need to learn as Christians is that we are utterly dependent upon God and mutually dependent upon each other.
The Beatitudes, attitudes for being disciples of Jesus, tell us: Blessed are the poor in spirit (the powerless);
those meek enough to let go of our egos; and those who hunger and thirst for a clean heart, that is, sanity through right relationship with God. Freed from self- focus we can pay attention to those who mourn, or those we've hurt, and the divisions in our lives. We can feel with others and become compassionate and merciful peacemakers. Living these attitudes is no small task. Let us ask God to help us be true followers of Jesus.
Have a blessed week.

En las lecturas de hoy escuchamos las Bienaventuranzas, actitudes de comportamiento que Cristo nos dio. He trabajado en muchos retiros para jóvenes en secundaria y mi tema favorito siempre ha sido las bienaventuranzas para ayudarle a los adolescentes a mirar sus vidas. ¿Por qué? Bueno, creo que una de las lecciones más difíciles que necesitamos aprender como cristianos es que somos totalmente dependientes de Dios y dependemos de nosotros.
Las Bienaventuranzas son actitudes para ser discípulos de Jesús, nos dicen: Bienaventurados los pobres de espíritu (los impotentes); Aquellos suficientemente humildes para dejar ir nuestros egos;
Y los que tienen hambre y sed de un corazón limpio, de tal manera que tenemos una mejor relación con Dios. Podemos sentirnos con otros y convertirnos en pacificadores compasivos y misericordiosos. No es una tarea pequeña el vivir las Bienaventuranzas.
Pidamos a Dios que nos ayude a ser verdaderos seguidores de Jesús.
Que tengas una semana bendita.

LIVE THE LITURGY
In today's competitive world, many people do not see justice and humility as virtues to acquire.
Yet Jesus makes a big point of giving us the beatitudes as the blueprint to follow for our lives. Being poor in spirit, meek, thirsting and hungering for righteousness, being mer- ciful, clean of heart, and peacemakers are all hallmarks of the true disciple and a child of
God. After doing all these things, however, the true disciple must be prepared for persecution. Are you
VIVIENDO LA LITURGIA
En el mundo competitivo de hoy, mucha gente no ve la justicia y la humildad como virtudes deseables.
Pero Jesús enfatiza que las beatitudes son el plan de acción para nuestras vidas. Ser pobres en espíritu, humilde, tener sed de la justicia, ser misericordioso, con corazón puro, y ser creadores de paz --todas estas son marcas dis- tintivas de un discípulo verdadero e hijo de Dios. Después de hacer estas cosas, sin embargo, el discípulo verdadero tiene que prepararse para la perse-

Thank you, Tere A, First Com- munion Parents and Students for the donation of sandwiches and desserts for our guests. Our guests enjoyed the sandwiches and the special treat of the jello cups, cookies and Becky's home baked sheet cakes.
Teresa Cherie is a member of St. Agatha Wingless An- gels. Teresa made contact with local shelters and cen- ters to deliver our remain- ing used clothing (along with fellow Wingless Angel Leo N) to a homeless rehab center, and the toiletries to a drop in shower center. The agencies welcomed these blessings with a full heart and open arms.
Thank you Teresa and Leo.
This is what being blessed and passing on blessing is all about. Amen.
From time to time we have bread and produce left from the Saturday Meal Program. We will leave these on a table in the entrance way inside the hall
for you to bring a bag and take. We do ask that you please keep this area clean and pick up anything that falls on the floor. Thank you in ad- vance.

AGATHA FAMILY.HOW??
SIMPLY MAKING TIME FOR FELLOWSHIP AF- TER MASS, BY INVITING SOMEONE TO COFFEE / TEA, A SLICE OF CAKE AND SMILES TO REMIND THEM OF HOW SPECIAL THEY ARE TO OUR CHURCH FAMILY. DON'T ALWAYS RUSH OFF AF- TER MASS, STAY AROUN- DAND BE APART OF OUR CELEBRATION OF THE
SPIRIT THAT IS ST.
AGATHA. OUR CHURCH MISSION "ALL ARE WEL- COME" LET'S PUT THESE WORDS INTO ACTION!!!!
Amen.
If you can't stay after mass come a little early to fellow- ship with the family that is there already in the hall. A good way to break the ice is
"Happy Sunday" I am...then sit down in an empty seat and sip coffee and fellowship. You can do this!!!!!!! All you've got to do is make that first effort and step out on his word. Then nurture this new- ness in your life and help it to become a daily Sunday routine.
Did you realize that the 12:15 PM Hospitality Ministry, aka Ushers, as the Bread of Life Ministry on Saturday's, go out into the community to spread the word by serving up food and prayers to the men and women who are waiting around to get a job for the day. On the Saturday following Thanksgiving they, as a ministry, prepare a hot sit down meal to serve our guests in the parking lot.
These acts of kindness are paid for out of their own pockets. Please give them a thank you nod and smile when you pass them on Sun- days.
Thank you for sustaining our attempts to encourage the spread of the kindness virus that can touch lives, can be/
make the difference for those who come to us in need.
Dear Family, have many blessed special moments this week as God provides you with comfort to do acts of kindness and to step out on his word to accept, appreci- ate and celebrate the blessing of diversity and unity in our community. Amen
Continue to be blessed and be a blessing as you join in with the groups of prayer warri- ors in storming the heavens with prayers for unity and peace everywhere. Amen THE
