New Year GreetingWe would like to wish everyone happiness, good health, good fortune, and good times together with family and friends.  Why don’t we make our slogan for the New Year “Nothing new, but everything better.”  – Fr. Ruane

 

Thank You The responses to our Angel Tree was very generous, and united with your generosity to the Food Pantry, we feel that as a Church Family we were able to join John the Baptist in preparing a way for the Lord, by bringing happiness and joy to several children and families.  

 

Sincere GratitudeI would like to take this opportunity to thank the Choir, Lectors, Eucharist Ministers, Mass Servers, those who decorated our church so beautifully and anybody who helped in any way to prepare for the Birthday Mass, in honor of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

 

Sincere GratitudeI would like to thank our church family members who remembered me in a special way at Christmas.  I cherish your goodness and kindness and pray, God will Bless all of us in 2011.”  Fr. Ruane 

 

R.C.I.A.We are taking a break until after Christmas to give everybody a chance to get ready for the

Birthday of Christ. Watch bulletin announcement for next meeting.

 

 January (1st) First Because January 1st falls on a Saturday it is not a Holy Day of Obligation. Never the less it is a wonderful way to begin the New Year. We will have Mass on New Years Day at 9:00am.   

                                               

Regular ScheduleWe will go back to our regular schedule this coming weekend with our Saturday Mass at 6:00pm and Sunday at 9:00am.

 

CalendarsIf you have not already picked up one of our beautiful church calendars, there are still some available.

 

Choose Life “In every child which is born and in every person who lives or dies we see the image of God’s glory. We celebrate this glory in every human being, a sign of the living God, an icon of Jesus Christ.”  [Pope John Paul II, The Gospel of Life]

 

Quotes……………………………………………………………………………………….                                                            

 

1. “Every decision you make – every decision – is not a decision about what to do. It’s a decision about Who You Are. When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes. You begin to see life in a new way. All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities to do what you came here to do.”  (Neale Donald Walsch, Author of Conversations with God)

2. “I don’t think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.”    (Anne Frank)

 

                PLEASE REMEMBER – TURN YOUR

                                                                  CELLPHONE OFF WHILE IN CHURCH!

                                                                                                                                                                                  Thank you for you cooperation.
