Saint of the week:
This weeks Saint of the week will appear in three parts to honor the extraordinary life of St. Patrick. As Catholics we should use his example to inspire us in our daily lives.
It's wonderful that St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in so many places. However, did you know that St. Patrick was not born in Ireland? He was born in Briton. His parents were Roman Overseers in Scotland. His first trip to Ireland was not pleasant. He was abducted from his home in Briton by raiders. He was taken to Ireland to be a slave. His duties were difficult as was the lot of all slaves. He was made to tend and herd flocks of sheep. He was a saintly young man, and found strength of faith by praying everyday. He received a vision from God which showed him how to escape his captors. He was reunited with his family in Briton.
This week say a Rosary in his honor as we approach March 17th

When I was in my college days, I remember how careless I was when it came to my computer subjects. I hated all the programming and doing the animation work in the Microsoft PowerPoint. There’s a never ending computation using Microsoft Excel. The commands in Microsoft word made me crazy. That’s not all; I had a hard time figuring out how to use the internet. All this stuff drained my brain so bad. It was so difficult when it came to the exam, I didn’t pass. I was devastated!
Amazingly though, I never thought that I would use these skills in the future. Right now, I am an entrepreneur woman. I have a small clothing line and my business is doing very well. I did a good job in promotion, advertising and in pricing. My business is able to compete well with competitors. However, here in the United States, it’s necessary to have a website when you have a business. Most of Americans, will shop online because of their hectic schedules and it’s very convenient for them. I thank my computer professor for draining my brain, because now I am computer literate. I know all about the internet; like email host. I don’t need to hire someone to work for me. I do it myself and use my knowledge and wisdom to expand, promote and improve my business online.
Saint of the week:
The Blessed Mother holds a special place in the hearts of Catholics. She is venerated as Mother of God and Mother of the Church. This week we honor her apparitions and the miracles at Lourdes.
Our Lady of Lourdes - February 11th
A beautiful Lady appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirous near Lourdes, France, in1858. She appeared 18 times from February 11 to July 16. During the first few apparitions she smiled and bowed to Bernadette, who prayed the Rosary and sprinkled holy water. St. Bernadette was 14 years old and did not know who this was. The Lady told her "I do not promise to make you happy in this world but in the next". Bernadette was instructed to drink the water from the spring but there was no spring. She had to scratch the ground and then it appeared. The waters of the spring have been attributed miraculous healing powers. The first miraculous cure occurred during the 12th apparition on March 1st. She finally identified herself to Bernadette as, "The Immaculate Conception". St. Bernadette did not know what that meant, but it confirmed the dogma established four years earlier by the Pope. The Shrine and miraculous healing waters honor, "The Immaculate Conception of Mary". Lourdes is a popular Marian Shrine and attracts millions of visitors each year.
This week pray a Rosary in honor of the Immaculate Conception of Mary.

Just for a laugh...Cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less.
2. Don't ask for money all the time.
3. Are easier to train.
4. Normally come when called.
5. Never ask to drive the car, they don't wreck the car and they don't raise your auto insurance rates.
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends.
7. Don't smoke or drink.
8. Don't have to buy the latest fads.
9. Don't want to wear your clothes.
10. Don't need a 'gazillion' dollars for college.
11. Don't mind a bit when you pass gas.
12. Don't roll their eyes and say "oh Pleeeese".
13. Don't play weird music at top volume.
14. Don't have to get a baby sitter when you go out.
15. They do not answer back.
16. They listen no matter what you say!
17. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars for Christmas and birthdays.

Last summer my friend Regina offered me her piano so my daughter could use it. She was no longer using it and was stored in her basement for a long time. The Piano has a lot of features and is fancy looking. She also took the time to teach my daughter the basic lessons for free during her off time from school. I was overwhelmed how she likes and loves my daughter; she’s a very good friend. Now, I have noticed my daughter has figured out how to play the piano by herself. She’s actually a very fast learner. I was amazed one day she played an alphabet song on her own. She’s so smart, I am really proud of her.
It’s a great idea if you can find ways to help your children to become involved in music. Let your children enhance their skills in music. Encourage and motivate them to pursue their dreams and interests. You’ll never know your child will be very successful in music industry someday. Even parents like us; we can be a good Pianist too. If this is your dream and want to be a Pianist then go for it. I believe if you really want something there’s always a way to make it happen. I think this is the perfect time for you to learn. The Yokewong site is offering Piano lessons on DVD, Piano Sheet Music, and Piano Lessons Online. Its hassle free and it’s very easy.
The receptive, gentle, and compassionate Goat (sometimes called Sheep) is the eighth sign of the Chinese Zodiac. These quiet and sometimes shy people have enormous compassion, an artistic eye, and emotions close to the surface. They often feel especially close to their families.
Money somehow comes to the Goat. Often other people give it to them. As artists, they can have patrons. A Goat is a great guest and someone powerful people enjoy having around. Goats enjoy nice things and are not opposed to treating themselves.
This is not a person who likes confrontation. A Goat would rather have someone else take the lead and make a decision. Of course, you might hear about it if your decisions do not work out to Goat's comfort.
It is a good thing that Goat is naturally lucky because of their peaceful nature and kind heart. Romantic Goats need a partner who is willing to listen and has patience with mood swings indirect answers, and occasional self-pity. Goat needs loyal friends who are steady and reliable. Goat people are well worth all the time and attention. With love, approval, and admiration, a Goat can blossom in any direction their creative talent takes them.
Positives:
Creative, artistic, cultured, kind, gentle, intelligent, sensitive.
Negatives:
Indecisive, self-indulgent, dependent, insecure, ungrateful, wise.
Famous Goats:
Pamela Anderson, Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Christopher Walken.

"WHAT'S A CLOTHES SWAP?"
This is a totally FREE event, with NO obligation to bring anything or take anything. It's called a "swap" because so many people bring clothes they no longer need, and take what they DO want.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
At home, sort and fold CLEAN clothes (clothes you wouldn't mind putting on your family to go out in public) by size into boxes or bags. THEN, when you get to the swap, sort the clothes by size onto marked tables. Next comes the fun part. Go to the tables with the size clothes you are looking for, and take what you need. Free of charge. No strings attached. There are no minimums or maximums.
Some families are looking to clean out the clothes they no longer use, and they bring boxes of clothes in, sometimes leaving with just one or two "special" things. Other families are really in need of clothes, and come with little or nothing, but leave with bags of clothes. Others bring what they took last season, for another family to take this time, and bring home another season's worth themselves to start the process again.
The Organization will provide the bags for that day. One bag per family! This is the only way to keep the swap fair. We will have extra bags that we will provide for a $1.00 donation per adult.
THIS IS FOR INDIVIDUALS ONLY ... NO charities, shelters, or resale.
HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
Look for clothes you might like to bring. Wash, fold, and sort them by size. Then call all your friends and family and ask them to do the same ... and come alone or as a group to the swap! Clothes swapping are even more fun when you can share your great finds with friends.
WHAT SIZES?
All sizes of baby, kids, and adult clothing (including coats, shoes, and accessories). VERY lightly stained clothes are OK as some people don't mind these for work or play, or are talented at removing stains. However, all clothing MUST BE CLEAN. Fabric and baby accessories are welcome.
WHEN IS DROP OFF?
Tuesday, Feb 17, 2010 from 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.
DONATIONS DAYS are:
Monday, Feb 1st, 10-2pm

Saint of the week:
A Saint is often an ordinary person who has lived an extraordinary life of virtue and faith. As Catholics we should use these exemplars to inspire us in our daily lives.
St. Colette (1381-1447)
It seems the world becomes more interesting and challenging from time to time. During these times we must depend on our faith. St. Colette lived in such a time, the time of the Great Western Schism. She was born in Corbie, which is north of Paris near the city of Amiens. Her father was a carpenter for the Benedictine Abbey of Corbie; her mother was Marguerite Moyon. She was orphaned as a young teen and entered the Bequines, a semi monastic community. She would live as a Benedictine and a Poor Clare and even lived for a time as a hermit. During this time 3 men claimed to be Pope. One of them, Benedict XIII (Pedro de Luna) empowered St. Colette to reform the Poor Clares. She began her work in Geneva and before she completed her task, she had founded 17 convents and had started a reform among branches of the Franciscan Friars (the Coletani). She emphasized a return to the Primitive Rule of St. Clare. The practice was austere and included poverty, perpetual fast, abstinence and walking barefoot. She exhibited prophecy, the gift of miracles and mystical experiences. She was Canonized by Pope Pius VII. The Colettine's still exist and practice the Rule today.
This week pray a Rosary in her honor, her feast day is February 6th.

His education began at the Benedictine Monastery in Monte Cassino. He world move on to attend university in Naples. There he studied under the influence of John of St. Julian, a Dominican teacher and preacher. Innovation was important at this time and he was introduced to the study of Aristotle and other philosophers. He was inspired to join the Dominicans so he could commit his life to study and teaching.
