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.

 

R.……….Please remember the happy repose of the soul of a former

    I.…….. and very devout Christian gentleman, Sam Domino, whom

      P.…… the Lord called home this past week. May he rest in peace.      

 

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 27th immediately after the 6:00pm Mass.

The Topic will be: A Short Review of Baptism and The Sacrament of Reconciliation.

 

CHOOSE LIFE…When does a new human life begin? When is there a new living organism of the human species, distinct from mother and father and ready to develop and mature if given a nurturing environment? While ancient thinkers had little verifiable knowledge to help them answer this question, today the science of embryology confirms beyond a doubt that a new human life begins at conception.

 

Right to Life Campaign…Bishop Latino is asking all parishes in the Diocese of Jackson to participate in a post card writing campaign against the Freedom of Choice Act on the weekend of Jan. 24 – 25. As it is written now the Freedom Of Choice Act will take away most of the restrictions already in place for abortions and will jeopardize the mission of Catholic Health Institutions.     

                                                                    

 

________________________QUOTES FOR THE WEEK_____________________________

  1. I come to the office each morning and stay for long hours doing what has to be done to the best of my ability. And when you’ve done the best you can you can’t do any better.    Harry S. Truman   
  2. “Nothing of great value in life comes easily. The things of highest value sometimes comes hard. The gold that has the greatest value lies deepest in the earth, as do the diamonds.”  Norman Vincent Peale, 1898-1993 Pastor, Speaker and Author 
  3. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing in the world is more   common then unsuccessful men with talent.  Genius will not; unrewarded genius is a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. Calvan Coolidge – 13th President of the United States
