A SPECIAL GIFT…We have as part of our Catholic Faith made available to us almost every day the beautiful gift of the Eucharist. [Mass] When we have the privilege of sharing the scripture readings and dining with the Lord at His table when we receive His Body and Blood, wouldn’t it be wonderful if more of our people would share in this gift.

 

    NOTE:     Daily Mass on Thursday will now be celebrated at 8:00am because of a rather poor

CHANGE:   attendance at the 6:00pm Mass.

 

CONFIRMATION…Please remember that the parents of our confirmation young people will meet with

PARENTS…Fr. Ruane after the 9:00am Mass this Sunday January 18th.  It is important that both parents try to be present.

 

BIBLE SCHOOL – Now that Bible School has resumed, we again encourage all of our children to participate in these classes. We are always disappointed when some of our children are absent for varying reasons.

 

THE R.C.I.A. will meet this Tuesday January 20th immediately after the 6:00pm Mass.

The Topic will be: The Review of the Sacraments in General and the Treatment of the Sacrament of Baptism.

 

CHOOSE LIFE…As we mark the 36th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s legalization of abortion, this question still confronts our society: Which living members of the human species should be seen as having fundamental human rights, such as a right not to be killed? The answer that still evades so many is: no human being should be treated as lacking human rights, and we have no business dividing humanity into those who are valuable enough to warrant protection and those who are not.
