Greetings!

2. The Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States Earthquake Aid for Turkey and Syria Fund. They work through local bishops, churches, and missionary congregations to ensure that resources are distributed equitably and justly, based on the needs of individual Churches.
And let us pray for all who are affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria: that God will shield the people who suffer, console those who are bereaved, strengthen the work of emergency and relief teams, and shine his light in the midst of despair. Amen!

Winter Warm-Up Drive
To keep those in need warm during this cold and raining weather, we are launching our Winter Warm Up Drive at the beginning of February. We will be collecting for For Home First (an interim housing agency) and we are accepting new or gently used XL and L beanies and gloves as well as coats, emergency blankets, hand warmers, rain coats (in all sizes but especially L), umbrellas, and rain ponchos.
Bins will be in front of church this weekend February 11th and 12th to drop off your donations. Your donations will be benefiting those who do not have warm clothes during these chilly winter nights. Donating this winter will give someone in our community hope, comfort, and a sense of love that everyone deserves. Thank you for your generosity and have a great 2023!
If you have any questions please email Andrew Carrasquillo at: andrewcarrasquillo@icloud.com

Mass of St. Timothy – Matt Maher
Mass for the Healing of the World – Trevor Thomson
Beginning Ash Wednesday (2/22) up through the season of Lent, we will switch our mass setting from Curtis Stephan’s Mass of Renewal to a combination of two settings: Mass of St. Timothy by Matt Maher and Mass for the Healing of the World by Trevor Thomson. Our music ministry is preparing the Penitential Rite from Maher’s Mass of St. Timothy, and the rest of our Mass music (Lenten Gospel Acclamation, Holy, Memorial Acclamation: Save Us, Savior of the World, Great Amen, and Lamb of God) will be from Thomson’s Mass for the Healing of the World. As our music ministry continues to find ways to engage with our community, Thomson’s setting does this by way of Call and Response, naturally. These music selections can be found on YouTube with links provided below.
