Dear Parishioners,
I understand that the downtown
Bicentennial Campaign Office, in some cases, has been inconsistent in sending
you reminders to send in your scheduled pledge payments.
If you feel you are overdue for a
reminder you are more than welcome to send it in at this time to the rectory.
It is only with your help that we can pay off the much applauded renovation and
improvement work we are accomplishing in the parish.
Thank you for your continued
support.
Msgr. Barry
Next weekend we will welcome the
Little Sisters of the Poor who will speak briefly at all the Masses.
CCD Happenings: Mrs. O’Hara’s sixth grade class performed
a very nice Christmas pageant based on the joyful mysteries. This pageant was a
great way of catechizing children on the connections of Christmas to catholic
prayer life.
Parish Personalities: Mrs Theresa Heid will be remaining with
our CCD program as a third grade catechist; however, she will be resigning her
administrative responsibilities in order to spend more time furthering her
educational credentials. We thank Theresa for her industriousness in our
program and her great love for the religious education of our children.
