IN OUR PARISH

CHRISTMAS FLOWERS   We are grateful to the generosity of all those contributing to the Christmas decorations inside and outside of church. Many people donated money, time and talent to create a beautiful place of worship. Thank you!     Mary Kay Connolly

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. 

WOMEN’S RETREAT Ladies, Mark your calendars!  Feb. 22 -24, 2008 Fr. Ray Stratman will be leading us on a spiritual journey.  His theme:  STOP! It's time to be a Mary rather than a Martha; LOOK! Through the eyes of faith, see how much God loves you; LISTEN! The Holy Spirit has words for you to hear.  We start with dinner on Friday and usually end around noon on Sunday.  Suggested donation is $115.  Please call Jennie Cox (441-4322) or Pat Brennan (781-2711) and let us know as soon as possible that you will be attending...We fill up fast!!!  Last year we had 35 women - let's see if we can increase that number - You won't be disappointed.  See you there!!! 

PLEASE TAKE NOTE   Due to the upcoming holidays, any submissions for the December 29th/30th   bulletin must be to the parish office by Tuesday, December 18th.   Submissions for the January 5th/6th bulletin must be received by Wednesday, December 26th.  Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED   to help clean the church once a month.  Our dedicated cleaning crew is in need of a few more helpers.  They meet on the first Thursday of the month immediately after 8:00 a.m. mass and are usually finished around 10:00 a.m. This is not only a great stewardship opportunity, but also a chance to get to know some of your fellow parishioners better.  If you would like to join this wonderful group, please call the parish office, 441-1352. 

PRE-K RELIGION     now is the time to sign up your 3-5 year old for Pre-K Religion.  Enrollment forms can be found at the back of Church following mass this Sunday or in the school office with Betsy Stegner.  Classes will begin the first Sunday in January during the 9am mass time.  We hope to see you there.  Any questions call Candace Doepker 859-572-0113. 

STRUGGLING WITH A TEACHING OF THE CHURCH?    Fr. Mike Comer will share his own "Journey Into Faithfulness" on Sunday, January 6th at 7:00 pm. You are not alone in trying to make hard to grasp teachings of the Church your own, priests struggle also. In refreshing honesty, Father Comer will give a profound witness of his own struggles. Please join us - you'll be glad you did. Questions call Terri 441-3438 or Sharon 441 1069.

AN INVITATION   If you are confined to home and are unable to attend Mass, (even if it's just temporary), please call the parish office, 441-1352, if you'd like to receive Holy Communion in your home.  One of our Parish Ministries - Outreach to the Homebound - is waiting to bring the Eucharist to you, a family member, or even your neighbor.  We know that this is a need waiting to be filled, but we must first hear from you.  So please accept this invitation and allow us to share the Living Bread - the Body of Jesus with you.
