There’s
something to that famous line “Although it’s been said many times, many
ways…” I sit here trying to find a new way to wish you Merry Christmas, and
this thought occurs to me: it doesn’t have to be new, it has to be heartfelt.
I do wish you a very blessed Christmas from my heart.
Fr. Stef
TO
THE PARISHIONERS OF ST. CATHERINE
“Well, we got another 6" of snow and it still has not
gotten above 30 degrees in over 2 weeks. It sure makes going to meals an
adventure. I hope all of you are enjoying this Advent season. See you soon.”
Bob Rottgers
NEW HYMNALS
Many of you may have noticed the new hymnals in church.
However, you may not have noticed that they include the readings for
Sunday mass. Now, you can follow
along with the readings, if you choose.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Due to the upcoming holidays, any submissions for the January 5th/6th
bulletin must be received by Wednesday, December 26th. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
CHRISTMAS MEMORIAL FLOWERS Many
of you have chosen to remember a loved one by donating to the fund for Christmas
flowers. The names of those
remembered are listed in our Memorial Book, which will be located in the back of
Church during the Christmas season.
GIFT BEARERS The new schedule for gift
bearers will be run very soon. If anyone would like to be added to or
deleted from the list please call the Parish Office. If interested please
specify what mass you would prefer. Once the dates are determined a post
card will be sent out with your assignment(s). A master schedule can be
found in the Ushers room and names are listed in the bulletin weekly. If
you have a problem with your assignment please switch with a family on another
week.
Thanks to all those who bought
gift certificates during the holiday season.
For your last minute needs, scrips will be sold after all masses this
weekend and in the parish office Monday until noon. Thanks again for your patronage to this program.
