ANNOUNCEMENTS

Just a reminder of the yearly upcoming Catholic Ministries Appeal. In a few days you will receive more information in the mail about this appeal to fund Catholic Charities; retired Archdiocesan priests; Campus, Hospital and Prison Ministries; the seminary; St. Rita School for the Deaf; and Evangelization. Give some thought as to how you can help. An envelope will be in your mail, but some will also be on the table in the hallway. You can put it in the collection or mail it directly. If you choose to mail it, BE SURE to include our parish name.

This is the last week to register to attend the Synod. Papers are still on the table in the hallway if you would like to fill out the form and give it to us to register you. The Synod is January 29, 9-11 am at St. Xavier downtown.

On Tuesday Fr. Bob and I will be hosting the Deanery priests for lunch and a meeting here at Mother of Christ. It’s always a good thing for others in the Archdiocese to see our church and I’m happy to have them here.

The Parish Retreat Committee met for the first time to begin our planning. Details will be coming soon for this Lenten event that you don’t want to miss!

In case you are asked about the COVID policy of the Archdiocese, we have recently received notice that the Archdiocese is NOT requiring employees to be vaccinated, but IS requiring that if the employee chooses not to be vaccinated, the employee needs to provide weekly negative tests results. There are many rumors circulating but the information sent to every parish is very clear and detailed.

Fr. Robert Seay OFM will be celebrating mass with us on Sunday, February 6. We’ll consider this our Homecoming Event so invite others that you think would be interested. Read this article about Fr. Seay

Happy New Year! Let’s look forward to a year filled with blessings from our God!

PLEASE REMEMBER THE SICK AND SHUT-IN!
