Young Adults Group: This Monday, January 30th, we’ll talk about the future of our ministry to better understand how we’d like to grow and bring forth new ideas. Next Monday, February 6th, we’ll have a service night! More details on that to come. If you’d like to receive weekly email updates, please contact John Barrientes. Remember to follow us on Facebook! Our Cloister Doors: At any time you may have access to The Cloister for prayer and reflection. Please call the parish office or ask a parish staff member for the after hours access code to the doors. Seekers Group Is Meeting: Do you have questions about the Catholic Faith? Know someone who does, and may not yet be ready for the RCIA process? Our parish Seekers Group may be just right for you! The Seekers Group is an informal gathering for discussion of what it means to be Catholic. Please call the parish office at 337-1538 for more information. Please join us and invite a friend!

Midwinter Paperback Sale: As both the snow and temperatures fall, what better time of year for some spiritual reading! Please take a moment after Mass today and check out the Parish Bookrack. It is located on the left side of the gathering area, and is fully stocked with current Catholic periodicals as well as a large supply of paperback books. Please take a look, and please also take 10% off of the price listed on the book or periodical. This is a great opportunity to enjoy some spiritual reading at a reduced cost. Payment envelopes are available on the rack and can be dropped in the candle rack slot near the chapel door, or placed in the regular collection basket. Please check out the Parish Bookrack today. Handicapped Access for Church Door: We are collecting funds for the installation of a handicapped access door opener for the front door of the church. It is estimated that $10,000 will cover the cost of the opener. If you would like to donate to this fund, please place your donation in the regular collection and mark it "Church Door Fund". Thank you to all who have donated and have put us over our goal to make our church building accessible to all!
