FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Isaiah 58:7-10, 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Matthew 5:13-16 Brief Reflection: We are the salt of the earth. Light is an important image in our readings to-day. True disciples of Jesus witness to others and help illuminate their way to God. As salt of the earth, our deeds must always lead others to Christ, or else we are like flavorless salt.
A Word from Fr. James… Last week in the Church we celebrated the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. This day falls on the fortieth day after the Nativity of the Lord. All first born male children had to be presented in the temple to the Lord. At the Nativity of the Lord, the Light of the world came, conquering all dark-ness.
Here at Sacred Heart and St. Louis Church we have a special place where Jesus and his light shines and that is in our adora-tion chapel, where the Lord is perpetually adored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. People from all over come and spend time with Jesus in his real presence, in his true light.
We have a few guidelines that we want to follow when we come to the adoration chapel to pray. Please take a few mo-ments to review these guidelines, so that all will have that sa-cred time before the Lord.
Additionally, you may have noticed that there are some chairs missing in the adoration chapel. We are in the process of hav-ing the chairs re-covered and new cushions put in. Thank you to all that donated to this Christmas wish list item.
Fr. James
Prayer Intentions Let us pray for those who are sick in our commu-nity. Remember these parishioners and friends of
the Parish in your prayers: Suzanne Beutler (bad fall and broken leg) Mercedes Guizar +Sue Bernt and family +Sr. Ina Marie Nosack and family May you find consolation in knowing that you are thought of and prayed for in this time of need.

Notice from Pastoral Council: “As many of you
have noticed, at our weekend Masses, the ushers have been bringing up our prayer petition book during the Presentation of Gifts. To reinforce the importance of coming together as a Catholic community at the Mass and to recognize and cele-brate the true presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, beginning in February, our ushers will be asking families to assist in bringing up the gifts to be offered at the Mass. Your active participation in the Mass is greatly appreciated"
QUINTO DOMINGO ORDINARIO Isaías 58:7-10, 1 Corintios 2:1-5
Mateo 5:13-16 Breve Reflexion: Somos la sal de la tierra. La luz es una imagen importante en nuestras lecturas de hoy. Los verdaderos discípulos de Jesús testifican a los demás y ayudan a iluminar su camino hacia Di-os. Como sal de la tierra, nuestros actos siempre deben llevar a otros a Cristo, o de lo contrario somos como sal sin sabor.
Un Palabra de P. Santiago… La semana pasada en la Iglesia celebra-mos la Fiesta de la Presentación del Señor. Este día cae en el cuadragésimo día después de la Natividad del Señor. Todos los hijos varones primogénitos tu-vieron que ser presentados en el templo al Señor. En la Natividad del Señor, vino la Luz del mundo, conquistando toda la oscuridad. Aquí en Sagrado Corazon-San Luis Church tenemos un lugar especial donde Jesús y su luz bril-lan y es en nuestra capilla de adoración, donde el Señor es adorado perpetuamente las 24 horas del día, los siete días de la semana. Personas de todas partes vienen y pasan tiempo con Jesús en su pres-encia real, en su verdadera luz. Tenemos al-gunas pautas que queremos seguir cuando vamos a la capilla de adoración a orar. Tómese unos minutos para revisar estas pautas, de modo que todos tengan ese tiempo sagrado ante el Señor. Además, es posible que haya notado que faltan algunas sillas en la capilla de adoración. Esta-mos en el proceso de volver a cubrir las sillas y colo-car cojines nuevos. Gracias a todos los que donaron a este artículo de la lista de deseos de Navidad. P. Santiago

parish is asked to pay their St. Rita's Altar Soci-ety dues of $10.00 for 2020. Dues can be paid by
mailing a check to the parish office or dropping a check into the collection basket. Please note "Altar Society Dues" on the memo line of your check.

IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE PARISH AND HAVE NOT SIGNED UP TO BE AN ACTIVE CLEANER, call Marianne at 503-508-0451 to become a cheerful cleaner. As parishioners, we take pride in keeping the Lord’s House a clean and peaceful place of wor-ship. We cannot afford to hire staff to clean the church weekly, but for 2020 we rely on 24 teams of parishion-ers (men, women, and older children) to vacuum, dust, empty trash, vacuum the Adoration Chapel and clean the Chapel’s glass doors every Friday or Saturday. IF TEAMS DO NOT CLEAN as assigned, we all miss the beauty of a clean church. We thank all the teams who did their jobs in 2019 and hope the following weeks of 2020 find cheerful workers for the Lord!

Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal 2020 Most past contributors to the Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal have received a mailing from Archbishop Sample. Please drop these into the nearest post office or bring them to the church office. The Archbishop's Catholic Appeal (ACA) supports the Archdio-cese's ministries in western Oregon - including pastoral minis-tries and care for the priesthood. Pastoral ministries spread the word of Jesus to all people in eve-
ry step of their spiritual journey. Our ministers actively bring the love of God into people's lives by providing supportive care to those who are sick or suffering, people with disabili-ties, people who are deaf, and those in prison. Parishes, ethnic vicariates and campus ministries throughout western Oregon also benefit from the ACA. The ACA also provides for the Holy Orders by caring for retired priests, educating the next generation of priests, and supporting the permanent diaconate.
