The next Catholic Grandparents Association meeting will be on Tuesday, January 28th at 9:45 A.M. in the Church Hall. Join us for delicious refreshments and lively discussion. This meeting one of our topics will be how we can help our teen grandchildren who are facing issues in school which may be opposition to our Faith.
The memorial of St. Blaise is normally celebrated on February 3, so in the spirit of his wanting to be God’s healing presence to those who are sick, we will have the blessing of the throats at the end of all the Masses this weekend, as well as after the 9:00 A.M. Mass on Monday.
On Sunday, February 2 at the 8:00 Mass, the Cub Scouts who chartered by our parish will be present in uniform and those who are altar servers will be assisting in that liturgical role. Please support them by praying in thanksgiving for all that they do for the local community. The Scouts will also be downstairs in the Church Hall after all the Masses that weekend to sell candy, popcorn and packaged coffee to help support their activities and training.
All men of the parish are invited to join us on Saturday, February 8 for our next meeting of our Men’s Group. This is a group of brothers who meet once a month to learn from one another how their faith can enrich every part of their lives. We have several opportunities to have some fun together, be of service to the parish and the local community and of course to pray and reflect on where God is leading each one of us. We will gather in the parish center at 7:30 A.M.- yes, that’s right! We chose that time so that you would have the rest of the day to do what you need to do. Please join us and bring a friend- there’s no commitment by attending but we do hope you will be part of this new community. For more information, please contact Michael Calimano at m.calimano@yahoo.com or see Fr. Salvatore or Fr. John Koelle.
The next Student Mass will be held on Sunday, February 9 at 6:00 P.M. Students and parishioners are invited to join in this Eucharistic celebration as we bear witness to the presence of Jesus and His love in our lives. There will be light refreshments and socializing following the mass in the Church Hall. Invite your friends!
