                                          New Year Greeting… We 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

 

Healing Mass… Mass this coming Friday January 4^th is the First Friday of the Month. We are encouraging as many people as possible to participate in this Mass of Healing, where we pray to God for health of mind, soul and body. This Mass will be at 10:00am Friday morning. Hopefully our Knights of Columbus will furnish a little breakfast so we can have time for fellowship and conversation.

 

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 St. John the Baptist in preparing a way for the Lord, by bringing happiness and joy to several children and families.  

                                

Sincere Gratitude … I would like to thank our church family members, each and everyone who remembered me with a gift. Some large and some small, but each gift was greatly appreciated. I will try to thank you each individually. I cherish your goodness and kindness and pray God will bless all of us in 2013.            

 

New Envelopes… Thanks to those who picked up there church envelopes. We still have some left in the vestibule and are hoping our people will pick them up real soon.     

 

Sacrament of Reconciliation; Saturdays at 5:15pm – 5:45pm and by appointment 

 

RIP … Please pray a prayer for the happy repose of the soul of Rick Bell, brother of Gerry Morris whom the Lord called home recently, may he rest in peace. 

 

RCIA … We will start our RCIA class back in the next couple of weeks, more details in next weeks, bulletin.

 

Sick or In The Hospital … Just a friendly reminder because of the Hospital confidentiality requirement, if anybody you know from our church family please let us know so we can be sure to visit them.

 

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

Too many people are thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, when they ought to just water the grass they are standing on.  (Amar Dave)

 

Choose Life…  An article in Life Site news (1/11/12) contains the following observation by a British physician: “This year we were introduced to the ugly practice of selective reduction, a euphemistic term that describes the killing of one fetus in a multiple pregnancy. Selective reduction is becoming more commonplace because fertility treatments like IVF are creating more and more multiples and doctors are advising patients to “reduce” their quadruplets, triplets and even twins down to two or even one baby.
