Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord

January 5, 2025

 

FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Happy Epiphany!  This week marks the end of our Christmas Celebrations and we return to Ordinary Time.  I would also want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!  Our parish has grown so much.

We now have 206 registered families and 530 registered individuals!

In 2024, we gained 17 new households.  This past year we had 16 Baptisms, 17 First Communions, 6 Confirmations, 2 Catechumens go thru RCIA and 66 newborns of our families were born.

After next week, the quiet phase of our Capital Campaign will be coming to an end and we will be starting the next phase.  If  you were not able to attend one of the house meetings that took place in December or that will take place later this week, please join us for this meeting on January 19th after both Masses in the Parish Hall.  We will share the most recent status of Our Campaign for Tomorrow as well as have your pledge card ready to pick up, if you have not already done so.  For more information, please contact the Parish Office or see this bulletin.

2025 marks the start of the Jubilee Year as well as the third year of the National Eucharistic Revival.  For more resources on these two events, please see this bulletin.

As a reminder:

- Our Campaign for Tomorrow will be running until the start of Lent; all information regarding the campaign will be updated on our website here:  stelizcc.org/our-campaign-for-tomorrow/

Blessings,

Fr. Jim, Pastor
