 PARISH
LIBRARY:
Please click the link in the left hand column to
sample some of the resources available in the
Parish Library.
If you are new to IOP, there are some
resources at the Parish Library which you can
check out to familiarize yourself with the
parish. One resource which you can borrow is a
copy of the 50th Anniversary Book, which lists
the history of many parish events and
organizations as well as a history of the
Infant of Prague devotion. Also available are
copies of the photo directory of the parish
which was published for our 60th anniversary
in 2006. These books are free and you may take
a copy to keep. Please stop by the Parish
Library resources in he Parish Center to
access any of these resources.
We
have some changes in our Parish Library’s
operation. First, you no longer have to sign out
materials. Just help yourself to what is
available and return it when you are finished
(Most people return items in about 2-4 weeks).
Also items can now be found in the space near
the back sacristy door and by the Thruway
entrance as well as the Foisset, Cleveland Dr
and Chapel entrances. At this time we would ask that no
donations be made to the Library. Thanks to the
generous contribution of many, our shelves are
quite full and space is limited. If you are
looking for a particular item, there is an index
of topics available.
Scripture
Reflections:
For Sunday February 21st, 2010
First Sunday of Lent:
First Reading: Deuteronomy 26:4-10(24C)11
Second Reading: Romans 10:8-13
Gospel: Luke
4:1-13
-
SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME: Most of us
tend to keep our focus on the now and to a
large extent this is necessary. However,
in today’s Gospel, the Beatitudes invite
another stance. Even being caught up in
the cares of everyday living, we can still
keep our eyes on Jesus Christ and what we
are really seeking—eternal life with Him.
It is our relationship to God that
motivates us to reach out to others in His
name.
