. . . For the People
Our Core Team Member of the Week is Carl Baab. In his second
year helping with youth ministry, Carl is working with the
EDGE youth this year. He is married with three small children
and a large extended family. Carl works in the banking industry
and lists volunteering with the church and gaming as his
interests outside of work. When asked about his favorite saint,
Carl answered, any of the Thomases, who used their minds.
His favorite musical artist is Tom Pe$y. A favorite vacation
destination for Carl is Myrtle Beach, and a dream destination for
a vacation would be Rome! When asked, what inspires you?
Carl says, I love my wife Jessica. Thank you, Carl, for stepping
out of your busy life to nd time to work in the faith formation
ministry with our youth. God bless you and guide you!
MARRIAGE MOMENTS
You have almost a week to think about how to celebrate
Valentine's Day. (Luckily, it's before Lent so chocolate is
a possibility.) Better yet, choose one favor a day to
surprise your beloved with.
Your love is a daily act, not just one day a year.
PARENTING POINTERS:
February is Black History Month. No matter what our
skin color, religion, or economic status we need to learn
to get along with people who are different from us.
As a family, learn about a race different from your own
this month.
V - Deceased
The Gospel for next week, February 15, the 6th Sunday in Ordinary
Time, is Mark 1:40-45 (healing of a leper). As you read the Scriptures
this week, you may want to think about the following questions:
Adults: Would you have the courage to tell others to do
as you do in order to be a Christian? Why or why not?
Children: What can you do this week to be an example to others?
From Heritage of Faith, by Jo Rotunno

Sponsors now have the opportunity to send a
letter to their Haitian child. You can deposit
your letter in the box in the Commons area labeled "Letters to
Haiti." As usual, the mail should be no larger than a business
letter and may only contain small enclosures. Family pictures or
pictures colored by children are some suggestions that work well,
but you can choose anything that means something to you.
Please include your name and the Haitian child's name on the
outside of the envelope.
ALL LETTERS ARE TO BE WRITTEN IN FRENCH.
The website www.translate.google.com is a user-friendly site
that will translate the document from English to French at the
touch of a button. The letters will be taken by the group leaving
in February. Final date for dropping off mail is February 18th
(Ash Wednesday).
We thank you all for your generous support of this program that
has such an impact on the children of Dos Palais.
