ADULT EDUCATION Famous and soon to be beatified, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, will be the focus of our video Pivotal Players. Join us Tuesday January 14th at 6:30pm at St. Boniface. We will air this again on Friday 17th at 1030am at St. Lawrence. A stellar communicator of the mysteries, he touched everyone from families to entertainers with the message of hope from Jesus' life. One bit of trivia...the actor Martin Sheen was really born Ramon Estevez but so impressed was he by the Archbishop that he changed his stage name to Martin Sheen.

In the month of January, I'd like to get better acquainted with you and use the opportunity to bless your houses. Call (570.326.1544) or write the office (stboniface@comcast.net) to arrange a date. I will give the staff available times on days and evenings. To reach a maximum number of people, we should limit the visits to an hour or less. Also, if some of you want to coordinate times for a neighborhood or street, that would be excellent. During these special blessings, I won't have time for a meal (but chocolate is always welcome).

December 1:  Last month our pilgrimage sang Christmas Carol's in Bethlehem. While it was hot outside, it felt appropriate to ask Jesus to make himself more tangible and visible in our lives. Advent is our chance to open our hearts and focus on the important, spiritual reason for this season. Take advantage by reading, praying and simply being thankful God reached out to us.

November 24 - Many of us prefer THANKSGIVING to most other holidays. It’s not spoiled by commercialism, the meal is based on comfort food, the football is fabulous and the day revolves around family. With the Pilgrims, the underlying principle had one other key element, gratitude to God. It remembers that despite our hard work, all good things ultimately come from God. The Almighty who is Creator, Sustainer, Sanctifier is intimately involved in our lives daily. "Praise God from whom all blessings flow" is a hymn we all have voiced. Besides Eucharist (giving ...
