From the Religious Education Office…
Dear Friends,
“Here I am, Lord ….” How many of us have uttered those words out loud? Or in our hearts? Look around at those who have: at the obvious — priests, deacons, religious; and at the not-so-obvious — greeters, lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Ministers of Care, ushers, altar servers, cantors, choir members. Remember how beautiful the church looked during the Christmas Season? That was the result of Arts & Environment Committee members who said, “Here I am, Lord….” Is God calling you as he called Samuel? Are you ready to say, “Here I am, Lord?” If you are, call the Rectory office or the Religious Education office. We will be happy to answer your questions and point you in the right direction!
Teri Klopp
Thank you from Father Joe
In addition to all those who gave so generously this past Christmas, I would like to offer my appreciation and that of the entire parish to our St. Vincent DePaul Society members who organized and coordinated the giving of gifts, food baskets and additional assistance to those most in need. These, along with many in our parish, embody charity in action. May the Lord reward their kindness and all who provided for those most in need.
