Please Note Change of Date*

Volunteers are needed for our Hospitality Guild Ministry! Our breakfast meeting date has been CHANGED to Saturday, January 15 for our Hospitality Guild Breakfast Meeting at 9 am in the Parish Hall. Our HG teams host Celebrations of Life and special events. Each team rotates and serves only 3 months of the year. Our Sunday hosts and hostesses serve one Sunday per month. If interested, please attend the breakfast or contact Carol Paris

A Celebration of Life for Dick Polhamus will be held Mon., January 24 at 11 am. The parish is invited to attend and a reception will follow. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

The new Caregivers Support Group will meet on the last Tuesday of each month at 2 pm. The first meeting will take place January 25. If you are feeling weighed down by caregiving worries or concerns, connecting with other caregivers is great emotional support. Come share your practical advice on managing challenges in caregiver relationships.
