PARISH NEWCOMERS WELCOME We encourage all of our new parish family members to try to be with us for our Christmas Supper, so that we can acknowledge them and welcome them. This will include anybody who has come to our parish in the last year or two. 

 

                                                      

PARISH   This is usually one of the most exciting events for our Church Family. We again want to share food,
CHRISTMAS   fun, and fellowship and we are again hoping that the Catholic Santa Clause will make an
SUPPER   appearance. Even though we have somewhat of a recession, we are hoping that he will find some 
candy for our children.                  Date: Sunday, December 14th                       

                                                     Place: St. Peter Family Life Center, Beginning at 6:00pm

 

C.  Our young people are anxious to participate in the CYO Convention, which comes up in the near future. Like

Y. every thing else the cost has gone up rather severely. We want our young people to attend, so together with

O. some of the parents, we thought it would be nice to have a bake sale this Sunday night in conjunction with our Christmas Parish Supper.  

 

The Knights of Columbus will be raffling off tickets for the hand made leaded glass Sean of the Madonna. John Artman made and has donated this stain glass portrait of Mary and the Baby Jesus. The drawing will be held on Dec. 14th at our Christmas dinner. Donation tickets will be $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00. All proceeds will go the CYO for the use in traveling to their up coming convention.     

                                                                                                                                                

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.

 

FAITH ENRICHMENTThere will be a Faith Enrichment workshop for all who participated in the first session of  “Why Catholic?” and any other interested person. The convenient workshop for us here in Grenada will be at St. Francis of Assisi in Greenwood, Jan. 11, 2009 from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. 

 

CHOOSE LIFEDespite efforts to downplay abortion’s roles in its lucrative business, Planned Parenthood has become responsible for nearly a quarter of all abortions performed in the United States. And while the organization advertises itself as nonprofit, its latest annual report shows American’s top abortion chain setting records in revenues—over a billion dollars. (NRL News, April, 2008)
