A Minister of Eucharist will bring Holy Communion into the Great Hall or you can come into the Church to receive our Lord.

Fr Jim’s Jottings
WOW, we have quite an interesting week ahead of us. Martin Luther King Jr Day is on Monday. Inauguration Day is on Wednesday. Day of Prayer for Unborn Children is on Friday.
Each of these days/events is an urgent call for PRAYER. May God help us realize the challenges of each day. Our country continues to struggle with race relations. How do we learn from our past and grow in affirming the dignity of every human being…no matter their color? Prejudice eats away at a core belief that “all people are created equal”. Striving to live this belief is what makes our country great. Our prayer on Wednesday is that our country sees the need to come together. Can that happen? We’ve suffered through so much violence and division. Aren’t we so tired of it that we want our leadership to help us become “one nation under God”? And on Friday we pray that God help us continue to fight for the rights of the unborn. I am grateful to my parents who brought me into this world. How can our country encourage and permit us to create human life and then destroy it? Tragically, that is the consequence of abortion! First Reconciliation CelebrationsCongratulations to our 2nd graders who will be receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time on Tuesday, January 19 OR Thursday, January 21 at 6:00 pm. We want to let them know we are so proud of them for asking for and receiving forgiveness from God for their sins. God bless you and your families.
Getting Married??? Any time is a good time to get engaged, right? It seems that the holidays are often a special time when couples announce their engagement. With that in mind, we encourage couples who plan on getting married in the Church to contact the Parish sooner rather than later in their planning. Six months before the wedding date is the minimum amount of time. It’s a wise idea to contact the Parish even before setting a date with the reception hall.
