The Eureka Catholic Church Calendars are Here!
The long awaited Eureka Catholic Church calendars are here and in the churches. Enjoy! Thanks again to the Knights of Columbus for sponsoring the beautiful calendars for St. Bernard, St. Joseph and Sacred Heart Churches. Well done, Catholic gentlemen.
St. Bernard Pancake Breakfast Sunday, Feb. 5th
Prepared by the Knights of Columbus will be held Feb. 5th in St Bernard Parish Hall. Time is 8:30 am till 12. Menu is pancakes, ham, sausage, scrambled eggs and all the usual wonderful trimmings! Cost $8 for adults, $4 for children under 12. The proceeds go to the St. Bernard’s Building Maintenance Fund.
ICF Super Bowl of Peanut Butter and Jelly!
To increase the amount of food reserves this winter for Betty Chinn’s ministry to the homeless the Italian Catholic Federation Branches in Humboldt County will be coordinating a peanut butter and jelly donation drive at St Bernard, St Mary, St Joseph, and Assumption Parishes. Donation boxes will be in the vestibule of the church for your donations from now until February 14th (Super Bowl Sunday). Please leave your donations in the boxes.
At the end of the donation drive the ICF will award the parish with the most peanut butter and jelly donations as the Champions of the Super Bowl of Peanut Butter and Jelly!
Baby Bottle Boomerang Invitation
Baby bottles for donations to the Pregnancy Care Center and J Rolpe are in the churches. Please take one home and support your catholic pro-life values by collecting monetary donations for the pro-life centers. This is a great Lenten project for the family: placing money usually spent on luxuries like candy, beer etc in the bottle for the help of Moms and babies. A good outreach is to ask others to contribute their spare change to assist pregnant women and their babies. Bottles may be brought to the office. God bless you for your assistance.

Vatican News is the news portal of the Holy See.

It communicates and interacts through audio, video, text and images on a multi-lingual, multi-culture, multi-channel, multi-media and multi-device plain.

- In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Pope Francis has criticized laws that criminalize homosexuality as “unjust,” and said God loves all his children, just as they are.
- Pope Francis: “Christian witness cannot be separated from joy and freedom”. The Pope called attention to the closing of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
- Pope Francis warns priests to avoid long, boring homilies: “They are a disaster”. The Pope said this during a meeting with participants in a course on liturgy.
The Pope Video
We pray that educators may be credible witnesses, teaching fraternity rather than confrontation and helping the youngest and most vulnerable above all.
Pope Francis – January 2023
I would like to propose that educators add new content to their teaching: fraternity.
Education is an act of love that illuminates the path for us to recover a sense of fraternity, so we will not ignore those who are most vulnerable.
Educators are witnesses who not only impart their mental knowledge, but also their convictions, their commitment to life.
They know how to handle the three languages well: that of the head, that of the heart, and that of the hands, all in harmony. And hence the joy in communicating.
And they will be heeded much more attentively and will become community builders.
Why? Because they’re sowing this testimony.
Let us pray that educators may be credible witnesses, teaching fraternity rather than confrontation and helping especially the youngest and most vulnerable above all.
The Pope Video is a global initiative of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (Apostleship of Prayer), a Vatican’s Official Institution, that spread the Holy Father’s monthly prayer intentions related to the challenges facing humanity and the mission of the Church. Every month we accompany Pope Francis in his prayer requests. We invite you to join. Visit www.thepopevideo.org to learn how.
The Best Devotional Apps You NEED on Your Phone
It’s no secret that spiritual reflections and prayer meditation guides have been around for eons and aren’t going anywhere. But, for those searching for a more structured prayer guide and the accountability that comes with it, devotional apps are the way to go.
We’ve done a test drive of some of the latest (and greatest!) devotional apps on the market today. Check out why these made the cut and consider downloading one or two to jumpstart your spiritual life this advent season.
RCIA News
The human heart seems ultimately to manifest itself in the desire to be loved and to love in return. Until then, as St. Augustine said, our hearts are restless until they rest in God who is Love. As Catholic Christians, we are privileged to share God’s love through Mass, the sacraments and how we live our lives. Do you know someone thirsting for God? Do you know someone not baptized or baptized in a different Christian tradition thirsting to know what it means to be Catholic? Do you know someone already Catholic but who has not yet received Confirmation or the Eucharist? They may be thirsting, too! The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a place to ask questions and seek understanding. Weekly “no strings” inquiry gatherings are on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. in the back classroom of Sacred Heart Church. We would love for you to invite /accompany anyone you know whose heart is restless for the God who loves them. For more information, please contact Ann Lynch (443-6741) or call the rectory office at 707-443-8429.
Rosary Group on Tuesdays
The Sacred Heart Rosary group invites you to join them on Tuesdays at 11:30 at Sacred Heart Church in the chapel. We look forward seeing you there.
We Have A Prayer Team
If you have a special need of any sort, we have a prayer team who will pray on your behalf. Let us pray with you, and for you. Surround yourself with prayer.
