Why do Catholics...

The Flight Into Egypt

The Flight into Egypt, a well-known story about Jesus, Mary and Joseph, is one of the listed  Seven Sorrows of Mary
 
It happened that some time after Jesus was born, than He began to be persecuted by Herod, who then ruled over the Jews. This ambitious prince, hearing that the long-expected Messiah has come into the world, was seized with envy and alarm. He feared that this Savior should supplant him in his authority and usurp his throne; therefore he sought to destroy him while he was yet a helpless babe.

It is now easier than ever before to give to St. Matthias, use the We Share link to give online.

Sister Parish Committee
In Mexico our Catholic Priests are being attacked and need our Prayers.  Please continue to keep them in your Prayers, especially our sister Parish Santa Maria de los Angeles in Arambarri, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

It would also be an excellent idea to keep the World Church in your prayers as well.

Matthew 5:14-16

You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house.
Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.
 
The Communications Committee is looking for working members.  This is an active ministry that works with our web site, Facebook page and E-Newsletter.  The committee meets in the parish office conference room the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM we are usually finished by 8:30 PM.  You don't have to be a techno wiz; if you love to write and report on parish activities we welcome you.  We need you to help bring the story of St. Mathias Parish forward.  If you are interested, please call the parish office (414) 321-0893 or e-mail.

Thank you
