What’s happening:

It’s time to register your children (grades 2 and up) for First Penance and First Communion. The sacraments will take place in May; exact dates and locations of classes and ceremonies will be announced at a later date. Registration forms are available at all four churches, on the parish website, and through the parish office. The deadline is February 28th. Readiness for First Communion is an emotional, spiritual, and intellectual process. A child’s readiness is greatly influenced by the experience of participating in the liturgy each week with his/her family.

Other readiness factors include:

  • Desire for the Sacrament
  • The ability to distinguish Eucharist from ordinary bread
  • Willingness to continue life in the community after reception of the Sacrament
  • Appropriate faith formation for a child’s age, including 2 years of consistent Parish Religious Education classes or 2 years of attendance in a Catholic School
  • Celebration of First Penance prior to receiving Eucharist
  • Registered member of the Parish

Heavenly Father,

January is dedicated to the Most Holy Name of Jesus. We pray for a happy and healthy New Year. May we employ the Fruits of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control. As we recall the Three Kings as they sought to find and worship him, may we always seek His will. In remembering the Baptism of the Lord we realize the blessed start our own baptism gave us. In commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King may we celebrate his efforts in striving for equal rights for all of us. We beseech you for your assistance in attaining the legal protection for the unborn. May the annual March for Life change the minds of those who believe in the evil of abortion. We implore your wisdom on those working to eradicate disease. We ask for an end to war and assistance for those affected by war. Let’s remember to use the intercession of the saints such as those this month including Sts. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Agnes, John Bosco, Thomas Aquinas and Francis de Sales. We plead for Christian unity as we read about your conversion of St. Paul. We beg your support for Catholic Schools, teachers and students. We ask these in Jesus’ name.

Amen
