Saint Sebastian (Feast Day January 20). According to the many legends surrounding Sebastian, he was born in Gaul and raised in Milan. Though a Christian, he joined the imperial army at Rome about 283. He made converts of officials and jailers, effected cures and urged Christian prisoners to stay strong in their faith. He was named captain of the praetorian guards, but the emperor, upon finding out that he was a Christian, ordered his execution. Shot with arrows and left for dead, Sebastian survived and was nursed back to life. Later, he denounced the emperor for his cruelty to Christians, and the emperor had him beaten to death. A favorite subject of Renaissance artists, Sebastian is the patron saint of archers, soldiers and athletes. https://www.loyolapress.com//saints-stori/saint-sebastian/

Read Fr. Tudgay's letter from this week's bulletin: Encountering Christ in the Ordinary Times Our Gospel Passage this weekend brings us to Saint John’s account of Christ’s call of Saint Peter. As we know, Saint Luke recounts this event by illustrating the miraculous catch of sh. Saint John chooses to omit that detail and focus, rather, on the activity of Jesus and his brother, Andrew, in the ordinary events of their lives. Saint John’s account of this sublime encounter b...etween Christ and the Prince of the Apostles is an illustration of the unique way that we encounter God in our ordinary lives. Peter was simply going about his business as a sherman. It was in this moment of his ordinary life that the extraordinary, supernatural encounter with Christ changed Peter’s life forever and changed the course of human history forever. Especially as we begin Ordinary Time in this year, we are invited to seek the Lord in the ordinary, everyday events of life...which is where we nd Christ and have our lives changed forever! - Fr. Tudgay
