Fr. Jim's Jots - Feast of the Epiphany, 1.5.2010

Fr. Jim's Jots

Epiphany of the Lord!

Today, January 5th, we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord, the feast commemorating the presentation of the Magi presenting gifts to the Lord Jesus.  The gifts we give, our time through prayer and celebrating the sacramental grace of the church, are indeed a blessing all year round.

We are starting a few new groups with the help of Patrick Merone and Regine Despinasse-Merone, patrickmerone@yahoo.com, Rdespinasse@gmail.com. Their's is a "young couples group." Any couples dating, engaged, or newly married, with or without children, up to the age of 40, are invited to participate in this new group.  Please contact Patrick and Regine.  If you are interested, there is more information on the kiosk in back of church.

We are also interested in starting a "singles group" with the help, perhaps, of a few of our other area parishes.  If you are interested in being part of this group and willing to help organize it, please contact Fr. Jim or the parish office.

Yeah, we are also working to re-energize and start up again, a men's group.  If you are interested and wish to be a part of the leadership of this group, please contact Fr. Jim or the parish office.

Yet again, we are interested in starting a women's group.  This group would add much to the life and energy of the parish.  Interested and willing to be on the leadership of this women's group, please contact Fr. Jim or the parish office.

The life in the community of the church grows when members get to know each other and become friends. We would like you to consider joining and working to start one of the above groups.  Please prayerfully consider joining a group, starting the group or being part of the group.

Blessings,

Fr. Jim
