JAN. 16-17

I know that you may not be prepared to give, but we would like to take up a second collection today for the relief fund for Haiti. If you can not give today, you can always send it to the Church and we will write up one check and send it to Catholic Relief Services. We are also taking up a collection with the children in Religious Education to send through Fr. Ken and the Holy Childhood that will go directly to the Diocese in Port a Prince. Let us keep all of the Haitian people in our prayers.

 

If you would like to attend the Pastor's Awards dinner, you need to purchase your tickets today or at least reserve them. We need to give them a count by Monday. Hope you can join us for a night of fun, music and good conversation.

 

We need you to turn your raffle tickets in as soon as you can so we can get an accurate idea of how we are doing. There are still books available at the table behind the Church. Don't forget to stop by and see the Car – she is a bute!!!

 

Fr. Bill's Bible Study starts up this week: English on Wed. at 7pm and Spanish on Monday, Jan. 25^th both in the Guadalupe room.

 

In the bulletin today there is an insert from the Bishop's Conference about the Health Bill that is being negotiated in Washington. Please read the insert carefully and if you can take action, please do so. There is a web address if you would like to send an email. Thank you for your help. We can help make sure that health care reform will protect the lives, dignity, conscience and health of all. Health care reform should be about saving lives, not destroying them.

 

Barbara Barabino has tickets to a King's hockey game. She will be in the hall if you would like to avail of this wonderful opportunity. Get them quickly before she runs out.
