ST. MALACHY PARISH CHURCH
JANUARY 31, 2016
Dear Parish Family,
It is hard to believe the holy season of Lent is just around the corner. A few Christmas decorations can still be
seen here and there as the Church calls for us to enter a period of intense preparation for the Passion, Death,
and Resurrection of Christ. Lent will kick-off with Ash Wednesday Masses on February 10.
The main disciplines of the Lenten season are prayer, fasting, and alms-giving. Prayer will take on a greater emphasis as we
offer Stations of the Cross following the Friday fish frys. We fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday and many people will
elect to give something up or focus on doing something to help them grow in holiness. In the area of alms-giving I am asking
all of us to support a parish-wide special collection to provide funding for four important areas: Catholic Charities, St. Vincent
DePaul, Hendricks County Outreach, and our Haiti Ministry. On Ash Wednesday special envelopes will be distributed in which
you are asked to make a financial contribution to support these areas of outreach. They can be returned to the Parish Office or
dropped in any weekend regular collection through Palm Sunday on March 20. Each of these four areas will receive a
percentage of the total amount collected. During this Jubilee Year of Mercy Pope Francis has called for all of us to better
respond to the needs of the poor. Please support this year’s Parish Alms-giving Project.
This coming Friday and Saturday will be the Men’s Christ Renews His Parish (CHRP) retreat. The women’s weekend will be
February 20-21. Don’t miss out on these opportunities to deepen your relationship with Christ. Sign-up today after Mass.
Remember God wants commitment and not excuses when it comes to giving Him His rightful place in our lives.
Blessings to all of you throughout this week.
Fr. Vince
For the first time, St. Malachy served as a host congregation during the week of
January 10-17, helping to feed, house and provide companionship for two temporarily
homeless families, Brittany and her four sons (ages 4-13) & Cathy and her 9-year-old twins.
A total of 47 parishioners were engaged in making the week a resounding success.
Feedback from all involved was overwhelmingly positive and we truly believe this to be a ministry reaching out to
those “on the margins” as Pope Francis is encouraging us to do. There are plenty of opportunities for volunteers in
a variety of capacities. If you are interested, please e-mail Mike Nygra at nygra@sbcglobal.net or look for our table
at the Knights of Columbus breakfast on February 7th.
The Race for Vocations
welcomes people of all ages to run/walk in the mini or 5k to both promote and pray for
vocations to the priesthood, consecrated life, sacred married life and sacred single life.
Hundreds of participants pray while they train, attend the Mass for Vocations the Friday
night before the race and then run/walk in the mini or 5K. Participants wear vocations
runner-shirts that create a greater awareness of Catholic vocations. The race began in
2008 and since then literally thousands of prayers have been offered and hundreds of
runners have participated. Please join the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the Diocese
of Lafayette this year as we Race for Vocations by, “competing well, finishing the race
and keeping the faith.” II Timothy 4:7! Register for the Race for Vocations at
http://raceforvocations.org/.
Fourth Sunday in
Ordinary Time
January 31, 2016
Jer 1:4-5, 17-19
Ps 71:1-6, 15, 17
1 Cor 12:31—13:13
Lk 4:21-30
Meditation: Jesus's
words amazed the people in the synagogue;
they are gracious, filled
with God's life and light.
But amazement gives
way to skepticism as
those who hear him
begin to doubt. When
Jesus reacts to their murmuring, they are insulted
and turn murderous.
God speaks to us
through others all day.
We bristle at words that
criticize, but God can
speak to us through
those words too. If we
are attuned to God’s
voice we can recognize
gracious words even
when they challenge rather than flatter us. Celebrating Sunday for
Catholic Families
Adult Question for
Discussion: What do
you do when a message
you are trying to deliver
“falls on deaf ears”?
Children’s Question for
Discussion: Are there
times when you have not
listened as well as you
could to what someone
was telling you? Why
didn’t you?

Food , Fellowship , and
Fundraising
The St Malachy Knights of Columbus are
pleased to announce our next breakfast fundraiser will be held on Sunday, February 7th in the
Shamrock Cafe from 8:30 AM till Noon. This
fundraiser is aimed at providing support for the
Family Promise Ministry.
Family Promise is a nationwide group whose goal
is to provide a path for homeless families to get a
new start. The group brings together churches
and social service agencies to accomplish the
work that each cannot do by themselves.
St Malachy's involvement in this ministry is being
led by fellow parishoner Mike Nygra who is also
the Director for Hendricks County Family
Promise.
You have no doubt seen other articles in
previous bulletins that explains the mission and
it's needs, and Mike Nygra expects to be at the
breakfast on the 7th to provide more information
and present opportunities for
interested parishioners to become involved.
So don’t buy any groceries for next Sunday’s
family breakfast…
come to the St Malachy School Cafeteria instead
and enjoy a breakfast that has been lovingly
cooked by a group of caring men of our parish.

A Note from the Music Ministers:
As a way of recognizing the Year of Mercy, the musicians will
be singing a special prelude before each Mass throughout the
season of Lent. The words of this piece are a prayer that we
may extend mercy and compassion to those around us, and
accept the loving mercy of our heavenly Father. Because the
hymn cannot be found in our congregational songbooks, the
lyrics are printed here. Please pray along with us this Lent.
Come now, O God of second chances; open our lives to heal.
Remove our hate, and melt our rage. Save us from ourselves.
Come now, O God, release our demons; open our eyes to see
the shame within, our guilt and pain. Mend us; make us
whole.
Come now, O God, and still our anger; open our minds to
peace.
Embrace our fear, and hold us close. Calm the storm within.
Come now, O God, shake our resentment; open our way to
choose
the way of love over revenge. Show us a new way.
Come now, O God, and grant compassion; open our hearts to
love.
May we let go of all our hurt. Help us to move on.
Come now, O God, of second chances; may we forgive ourselves,
May we become your living sign: Children of God’s
love. (David Haas)
We hope to see you there !
Here is the current list of OPEN hours at the Divine Mercy
24 Hour Adoration Chapel, which is located between St.
Michael's and Cardinal Ritter HS off W30th St. We need new
volunteers to take the responsibility of one hour of adoration
EACH WEEK to fill these openings.
This is WONDERFUL way to tap into the Divine Mercy in this
year of Mercy! Please pray and consider if you can afford the
Lord an hour of your time to keep Him company. I promise He
will bless you abundantly!

Seder Meal, March 5, 7 PM, Shamrock Café
The Jewish Seder Meal is the root of our Catholic Mass. Passover celebrates the liberation
of the Israelite people from slavery. Its story is told in Exodus, chapters 12 and following.
Today, the Passover meal still commemorates this event and the covenant that God made
with his people.
The Seder (or "Passover Meal") is a fun yet solemn way to gain more understanding of the
beginnings of our faith. Its rituals are very important to our faith and should be experienced at least once
in every Christian's life, because Jesus took it very seriously. It was at his "last Seder" ("Last Supper") that
he instituted the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
We use unleavened bread during the Mass because only un-leavened bread (matzo) is allowed at the
Seder in honor of what happened in the historic Passover event. And the wine, which during the
consecration prayers of Mass becomes the blood of Jesus, has always been an integral part of the Seder.
The Seder is a meal of remembrance and thanksgiving, and our word "Eucharist" comes from the Greek
word for giving thanks.
Tickets are $20; you can purchase online at http://www.stmalachy.org/seder-meal-registration/or stop
by the parish office. Last year’s Seder Meal was a sellout celebration, so please purchase tickets early!
All parishioners and guests are welcome to come to one, many or all of the RCIA sessions. We
meet weekly from 10:00-11:30 am in the St. Malachy Holy Family Room on Sundays through
March 20. Please join Denny Edmonds next Sunday, February 7 as he shares 2,000 years of
Church History in less than 90 minutes!

Continuing this Wednesday, Father Vince invites you to continue studying the Word of God on
