New Envelopes… Sincere Gratitude to our many parishioners who support
our parish and Building Fund so generously as a Church Family. The participation of all
when possible is so important, please pick up your new envelopes and if at possible use
them regularly. They are in alphabetical order in the entrance of the church.
As Promised… We invite all our children, little
ones, through grade six and their parents to a Special Mass on this Tuesday December
15th. The children will be participating in the reading and singing. We
will have a special treat and time together. The desired treat seems to be pizza. We look
forward to having a good time with this part of our church family.
PLEASE REMEMBER
– TURN YOUR
CELLPHONE OFF WHILE IN CHURCH!
Thank you for you cooperation.
Time
Change…Because
of Father Ruane’s involvement in a wedding at 5:30pm on December 19, Our Saturday
evening Mass, on that day only, will be at
6:30pm. MR
Choose Life… Speaking of her Downs syndrome baby
as a “gift from God,” Congresswoman Cathy M. Rodgers stated, “There are
tremendous resources, support and early intervention available to families. There are
medical advances and breakthroughs in the realm of education and early learning. I am
extremely grateful to those who have walked this path before me.” (NRL News, May, 2008)
PLEASE...
When using any of the
buildings, please make sure that the door locks behind you when you leave. Push, pull,
& turn knobs…just check to see if it is locked. Thanks!!
Liturgical Appointments… Please contact the
church office to participate in the Liturgy.
