Homily – 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Good morning, everyone. Can you hear me okay with this microphone? Does it sound all right or no? How about in the back? Yes. Now. Okay, I’m getting mostly thumbs up, so I’ll go with that. All right, great. So it’s great to be back in Brooklyn Heights. I’m Father John, for those who might forgot who I was or meet me for the first time, I teach out in San Francisco.

Brooklyn Bible Explorers: Angels in the Bible
We are starting another session of Bible study next Sunday. Fr. Bill Smith will join us to present an overview of the Gospel of Mark, which we will hear in church this year.

Next Thursday Book Selection: The Screwtape Letters
During Lent, the Brownstone Brooklyn & Beyond book group will discuss C.S. Lewis’ satirical novel The Screwtape Letters. One of his most popular works, it uses a series of letters written by a senior demon to his young nephew to address observations on human nature, temptation, and the Christian faith. We will begin on February 15 with a discussion of the Preface through Chapter 8.
The Brownstone Brooklyn and Beyond book group meets weekly on Thursdays at 7 PM via Zoom. It is comprised of parishioners from various churches in the Brooklyn Heights/Park Slope area. The book club was the subject of a short video that was presented at the 2021 World Communications Day virtual conference. The video includes an interview with Fr. John Gribowich and some familiar shots along Sidney Place.
Help Serve the Parish on the PPC
We are looking for members to serve on our Parish Pastoral Council (PPC), the seven-person group responsible for planning and executing the pastoral activities of the parish. There are two open seats on the PPC as Alicia Washington has recently moved to Maryland to serve in a senior role in the US Attorney’s Office there and Carol DeSantis will be moving to Long Island. We have been blessed to have Alicia and Carol as involved members of our parish for many years and will miss them both.
If you would like to nominate a parishioner for Parish Pastoral Council or you would like more information, please contact our Lay Trustees, Francis Chin ([email protected]) and Kerin Coughlin ([email protected]). You also submit a nomination by submitting the below form.
Please submit nominations by January 29.
