Feasts Celebrated the Week of February 12, 2012:






















On Tuesday, February 20, 2012 at 9:00 AM (StC), we celebrate the memorial of Sts. Cyril (827-869) & Methodius
(815-884)
Sts. Cyril & Methodius were brothers bound not only by biology, but by their longing to evangelize the unenlightened heart.  
Their missionary zeal led them to Slavic territories where the seeds of Western Christendom had yet to be planted.  At the
time, the Western Church only recognized the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin languages; therefore, they were charged with the
task of translating the Bible and liturgical texts into Slavonic.  Because Slavonic did not have a written language, the
brothers had to develop a script, which later became known as the Cyrillic alphabet, named after St. Cyril.

On Friday, February 24, 2012 at 9:00 AM (StC), we celebrate the optional memorial of the Holy Seven Founders
of the Servite Order.  
The Founders of the Order of Servites were seven young men with one vision – to “be of one mind and one heart” (Rule of
St. Augustine) through common prayer, works of charity, and a special devotion to Mary, the Mother of God.

A Note from Fr. Jim:
Transitioning:  Open listings, the list
of possible priest assignments, should
be coming out this week.  I expect to
begin visiting parishes as part of
discerning my next assignment.  It has
certainly been gratifying to hear from
so many of our parish family sharing
the events and our lives through these
twelve years.  I am very touched by the
love you have shown me.  Hopefully,
we will also have priests wanting to
come and visit St. Columbkille.  I have
heard from quite a few parishioners
with thoughts about what they’d like to
see in the next pastor.  I will be sharing
these thoughts with any priest who
does come to visit and with Fr. Len
Wenke when he comes to meet with
our parish council on February 20.
