Christmas Collection
Before Christmas I expressed to you that we were behind on our budget for this year. Thanks to the generous contributions of parishioners we are now where we need to be. Your support is very much needed and appreciated. Thank you.

Mass Intentions

Saturday, January 9: Fr. Michael Tierney
Saturday, January 16: David Christianson
First Reconciliation
On Saturday, January 16th the Sacramental Preparation Children of Holy Spirit will begin celebrating First Reconciliation. The children and their families will be gathering to celebrate God’s mercy and forgiveness. We have 30 families coming to receive God’s grace. For the 3rd year, children will receive their very own Children’s Catholic Bible courtesy of our parish Knights of Columbus. The children will use their bibles to help them to prepare for the Sacrament of First Eucharist which they will be receiving after Easter. We ask that you please pray for our children, families, and Catechists as they continue on their faith journey with Jesus.
Support Our Seminarians
We need your help to make this year’s Support Our Seminarians (SOS) event the best yet. This will be our final SOS event, and sadly due to the pandemic, we won’t be able to gather in person; we will be gathering virtually.

You can support our seminarians and the future of the Church by making a donation, purchasing raffle tickets, praying for vocations, and by joining us online at 6:00 PM on Friday, January 29 for the virtual event. To donate or purchase raffle tickets, visit www.supportourseminarians.com. 
Camp Savio
Camp Savio inspires youth to live as lifelong disciples by empowering them to form a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. At Camp Savio, we believe that camp should be FUN! We play hard, but more importantly, we pray harder! Every camper should walk away from camp with a better relationship with God than when they arrived.
 
This camp is hosted by the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph and held at Maur Hill/Mount Academy in Atchison, KS. Open to all youth entering 6th grade through finished 8th grade.
