New Announcements:
40 days for Life: The JPII St. Gianna Culture of Life Committee invites you to participate in the 40 Days for Life. We will be praying at the Abortion clinic in Louisville on February 18 and 27 from 5 AM to 7 PM. Register for a timeslot through the parish website. There is a button on the homepage.
Haiti Water Bottles: Every year the JPII Haiti Committee asks for your loose change during the season of Lent. Through the years we have “lost” many of our water bottles. We are asking all parishioners to look around your home and see if you have any before picking up a new one this year. If you have some that can be returned just leave them in the back of Church.
Morning Prayer: One of the benefits of the Coronavirus is that we have begun virtual Morning Prayer (see picture below). A small but faithful group prays every morning (Monday thru Friday) at 8:00 a.m. I lead it every Wednesday and Thursday. Others lead it on the other days. On Thursdays, a couple of people join us in Church before the 8:30 a.m. Mass. If you would like to join us, simply go to Zoom and click join a meeting. Enter the meeting id number 420-227-8504. The prayer leader will admit you into the room. Please join us if you have that time available in the day. Moring prayer usually lasts about 15 minutes.
Homilies: I have received a lot of positive feedback on my current homily series called Reset. The final installment of that series is this coming weekend. I have begun putting video recordings of my homilies on my blog. You can access my blog at www.alwaysonthejourney.blogspot.com you can also access it through the parish website. Click the Worship Tab and then click on Fr. Tom’s Homilies. This will lead you to a link to my blog. I hope it is helpful to you.
Repeat Announcement:
Date Set for Dedication of our New Church: Mark your calendars for Sunday, December 19, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Archbishop Thompson will lead us in the celebration of the Eucharist and the Dedication of the new St. John Paul II Catholic Church. Thanks to all who have contributed to the new church. More to follow!
Be safe,
Fr. Tom
