“The feast of the Presentaon is a feast day of encounter. The God of life is to be encountered every day of our lives; not now and then, but every day. To follow Jesus is not a decision taken once and for all, it is a daily choice. Above all, The Presentaon reminds us that we too are called to welcome Jesus who comes to meet us…meaning to place him at the center, as the beang heart of everything.” Pope Francis

First Reading — There will come to the temple the Lord whom you seek (Malachi 3:1-4). Psalm — Who is this king of glory? It is the Lord! (Psalm 24). Second Reading — Jesus had to become like his brothers and sisters in every way to help the descendants of Abraham (Hebrews 2:14-18). Gospel — The just and pious Simeon proclaims the infant Jesus to be a revealing light to the Genles, the glory of the people Israel (Luke 2:22-40 [22-32]).

Funeral Guidelines at St. Mahew

DID YOU KNOW….

  • Every Bapzed Chrisan has the right to a

Chrisan Burial, and the right to the Mass in the Church, whether or not they are a registered member of St. Mahew Church.

  • You have the right to choose the Readings and

to plan the music selecons with the Parish priest for the Mass of Chrisan Burial.

  • The Mass of Chrisan Burial offers liturgical

roles to be chosen and oen performed by family members.

  • If Mass is not chosen, a funeral Liturgy of the

Word and final commendaon of the deceased is celebrated and can be done in the church, a funeral home, in a chapel at the cemetery or even at the graveside.

  • Funeral Guidelines have been issued by Bishop

Frank J. Caggiano and seconded by Msgr. Walter, for one year.

  • You can find the Funeral Guidelines on the
  • pening page of our Parish website.

Primera lectura — Envío a mi mensajero, el men- sajero de la alianza; ¿quien se mantendrá en pie? (Malaquías 3:1-4) Salmo — El Señor, Dios de los ejércitos: él es el Rey de la gloria (Salmo 25 [24]). Segunda lectura — Jesús quien se hizo totalmente humano vino a ayudar a los hijos de Abraham (Hebreos 2:14-18). Evangelio — El justo y piadoso Simeón proclama que el niño Jesús es una luz para los genles, la gloria del pueblo de Israel (Lucas 2:22-40 [22-32]). RETORNO A LA NAVIDAD: La celebración de hace tres

semanas del Bausmo del Señor señaló el fin “oficial” del empo de Navidad para la Iglesia. La fiesta de hoy de la Presentación del Señor parece extender la cele- bración un poco más allá. En realidad, algunos han nombrado esta fiesta una “Segunda Epifanía”. La pri- mera lectura nos recuerda la ancipación del Adviento, como escribe Malaquías: “Envío a mi mensajero para que prepare el camino ante mí”. La lectura de los He- breos nos recuerda la Encarnación, proclamando que Jesús tuvo una “parte” de la misma “carne y sangre”. El Evangelio encuentra al niño Jesús en su primera visita a Jerusalén, y a sus padres una vez más sorprendidos y asombrados por los acontecimientos de su nacimiento. En la sencillez del pesebre, en la grandeza del templo, en la domescidad de Nazaret, Jesús viene. ¡Que lleguemos a conocerlo y por ello nos encontremos llenos de “sabiduría” y de la “gracia de Dios!”

2020 Annual Catholic Appeal 2020 Annual Catholic Appeal

The 2020 Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) is an invita-

  • n to RENEW the family of

faith by engaging our youth, reaching out to the elderly, caring for the poor and vul- nerable, and forming the next generaon in the faith—work that can only be accomplished prayer- fully and together. This annual appeal occurs throughout the Diocese of Bridgeport. Each parish is given a target to contribute to the good works of the Diocese. We have begun working to- ward meeng the ACA target. Our goal for 2020 is $170,000. Please prayerfully consider a donaon to help support ACA. Every dollar counts - no amount is too small! You can drop off your pledge in the weekly basket, at the Parish Office, or pledge online: 2020ACABridgeport.com.
