The newest edition of As Romans Do 2010-2012 has just been published. This 144 page guide to Rome and Santa Susanna is a real treasure. It is dedicated to the Alumni of Santa Susanna Church and is filled with historical photos from our archives, as well as current photos from the past three years. Not only is it a parish handbook, it is also an excellent guide to visitors, pilgrims and new residents coming to Rome. It makes all kinds of recommendations for what to see and do, and provides opening times and costs for various museums and other places of interest. It also includes 8 pages of Tips on getting around the city while you are here. We would be happy to mail you a copy of this book. Please send Fr. Greg (frgreg@santasusanna.org) your name and address and we will mail you a copy. All we ask is that you consider sending us a donation to help us continue our ministry here at Santa Susanna.
To make donations to Santa Susanna Church, please send it to The Paulist Fathers, Via Antonio Salandra 6, Rome, Italy 00187. Thank you very much!

WEEKLY PARISH NEWSLETTER:
Dear Parishioners, Friends and Alumni, (for February 5, 2012),
In the Gospels, Jesus cannot look at a suffering human being without being moved into action. He walks through a frantic crowd and brings hope and compassion. He drives out demons, heals sick people and then refuels himself in order to continue a life of service. He gets up early in the day, before dawn, and goes off to a deserted place to be absorbed in prayer. He is restored and ready to show the love of God to the next person in need that he meets. We are called to continue the healing ministry and service of Jesus, and we too need to be energized by solitude, prayer and community. Then we can feel our hearts moved to compassion and propelled to action. Today put yourself in someone else's shoes and into his or her difficult situation. Feel what that person is feeling and think of what Jesus might do to help. Then respond in the best way that only you yourself can.
On Saturday evening at 6 PM and Sunday morning at 9 AM, Deacon Anthony Dill will be the homilist, with myself and Fr. John as presiders respectively. Fr. Tim Costello celebrates the Sunday 10.30 AM Mass and Fr. John presides at the 11 AM Mass in the Marymount Chapel with Allegra DeLorenzo and Giuseppe Natalucci as lectors and Alyssa and Michael Itinger as servers. We still need two ministers of communion.
On Saturday night, February 4, the Youth Group Goes Ice Skating. Meet at Santa Susanna at 7 PM following the 6 PM Mass. If you can go, please write to Lisa at lisamguido at hotmail.com and she will give you all the details.
Our Fundraising Dinner Parties are starting to come together. Invite ten parishioners and friends to your house for dinner. Instead of bringing a bottle of wine or a bouquet of flowers, ask your guests to bring a donation of 20 euros for Santa Susanna. Not only is it a good fundraiser, it is a very good way to get to know the people with whom you worship on Sunday. If you want to offer one for these dinner parties, and would like some suggestion on how to do this or whom to invite, just ask me.
Our next Family Based Religious Education Session is Saturday, February 11, beginning at 3.30 PM. Our special guest presenter to the parents is Jesuit Father Tom Casey who teaches at the Gregorian University. Fr. Tom will talk about Coping with the Culture of Unbelief (and Indifference) that Our Children Will Have to Face. We hope to have 100 percent attendance of both children and parents in class and at the 6 PM Family Mass. A reminder that First Reconciliation will be celebrated on March 10, and the Communal Reconciliation Serve that afternoon will also be for all the older children and their parents in Religious Education. Please note that the celebration of First Reconciliation for the Marymount students is on a different time and day at Marymount, so do not be confused.
The actual Ninetieth Anniversary of the American Parish in Rome at Santa Susanna is Sunday, February 26, 2012. Since this is the First Sunday of Lent, we will have a special reception after the 10.30 AM Mass on the previous Sunday, February 19, in the spirit of Carrnivale. Ash Wednesday is February 22, and we will have a great many special classes, programs, tours and prayer services, so stay tuned. Ciao for now, Father Greg
