Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Light of the World

FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Welcome to Black History Month!

It is going to be a busy month so I hope we can pray and reflect on how we can work together to End the Sin of Racism and work for Racial Harmony.

We kick off today with the "National Day of Prayer for the African American and African Family."  Join us for a potluck after the 10 a.m. Mass today.

On February 10th, 11th and 12th, we have several youths from our parish attending the Diocesan Youth conference.  I will be helping with confessions on Saturday Feb. 11th.  Please pray for those attending:  Chaperones: Liz Wiznerowicz, Erin Cleary, Abedi Shishi.  Students:  Spay Adou, Fabrice Niyitanga, Jerimah Henderson, Remis Shishi, Matthew Shishi, Mandeleni Washishi.

On February 22nd, we are hosting our Fashion Show starting from 2-5 p.m.  Special thanks to Karen Carter and ALL who have spent hours on this unique Centennial event.  All are welcome and refreshments will be served.

On Sunday, February 22nd, Super Bowl Sunday, we are asking for your help to bring food items; not cans but bags of rice and beans.  There will be a collection basket in the front of church by our Crucifix.

Blessings,

Fr. Jim Arsenault

Pastor
