End-of-the Year Financial Statements:

Transcription

1 Cold and Flu season -- During this time of year many illnesses are easily passed from one person to another by contact. I remind you that during The Sign of Peace, you are not required to shake the hands of people around you. Please simply turn to them and say, The peace of Christ be with you. Please use the entire phrase and not simply, Peace. Also as you come and go from church, you are not required to shake the hand of the priest. As I shake various hands I am concerned about what I will be passing from one person to another. You are most welcome to extend a verbal greeting. I do consider it a sign of respect for the priesthood of Jesus Christ when people stay until the end of Mass and extend a greeting to the priest as you are leaving the church. When Communion is being distributed under both forms, adults you make a choice whether or not you will receive from the cup. Please direct your children not to receive from the cup if they are showing any signs of illness. Make responsible decisions about your health and the health of others Calendars are available in the church entrance. We are thankful for Mosti Funeral Home and Shorac Funeral Home for providing these freely for our parishioners. May the Lord watch over all during this New Year. PICTORIAL DIRECTORY: In our directory we would like to place pictures of the various liturgical ministers of our parish community. As to enable as many to participate as possible we will take the pictures after each of the Masses. The five groups we are inviting to participate at this time are: altar servers; readers; extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion (at Mass, Nursing Homes, and homebound); ushers and musicians. On the weekend of January 8/9 Marie Highfield will be present after each Mass (4:00 p.m. Sat. and Sun. 8:30, 10:00, 11:30 and 5:30) at Holy Rosary Church to take these group pictures. Then on the weekend of January 15/16 she will be present at each Mass (Sat. 4:00 p.m. and Sun. 10:30 a.m.) at Holy Name Cathedral. Hopefully everyone will find one of these seven opportunities suitable. Please remain after Mass and smile for the camera. End-of-the Year Financial Statements: It is necessary for us to receive different reports to prepare these statements. It is our intention to have them mailed to you during the first week of February. After you have received your statement in the mail, please contact the Parish Office if there are any questions or concerns about the information. We will not be able to provide you with statements prior to that date so please don t call and ask.

Respect for Life: The following is the answer that Academy Award winning actress Patricia Neal gave to an interviewer who asked what, if anything, she would change in her life: If there is one thing I wish I had the courage to do over in my life, I wish I had the courage to have the baby (the child she aborted). Alone in the night for over 40 years I have cried for my child. 3

Thus if you have particular requests for dates in the year 2011 you may submit them to the Parish Office at this time. Also, if you don t have a particular date we have several other openings that can be filled with your requests. At various times we publish a list of intentions for which Msgr. Cornelius and now Fr. Magary offer specific Mass intentions. We need several Mass intentions for them to offer at the Masses in which they concelebrate in our parish community. Praying for the deceased is a holy and righteous act. We continue to pray for our loved ones as we seek their prayers in our lives. Praying for special needs is also a part of our Catholic Tradition. The priest can offer Masses for special needs and for the living members of our families.

5 CONDOLENCES: (CCC 1405) There is no surer pledge or clearer sign of this great hope in the new heavens and new earth in which righteousness dwells, than the Eucharist. Every time this mystery is celebrated, the work of our redemption is carried on and we break the one bread that provides the medicine of immortality, the antidote for death, and the food that makes us live forever in Jesus Christ. With this great hope we pray for our brothers who have died: Emanuel M. Costanzo, December 26 Edward G. Werkin, December 28 May they enjoy the eternal banquet the Lord has prepared for them. 11:30 AM Walter & Betty Skiviat by Daniel & Kelly Skiviat 5:30 PM Martha Seifert by sister Virginia Kopras 6 In Loving Memory Triumph of the Cross Mass Schedule for Jan 8-16 Sat 8 4:00 PM at HN Dominic DiPalma by Marie DiPalma & Family 4:00 PM Alexander Deptula by Linda Edgar of those who have died: Elverda M.
