Sellersburg/Speed Peanut Bu*er & Jelly Congratula-ons to Alice Trui&, winner of $ in the December Ladies' Club 50/50 raffle. The January raffle will be held the weekend of January (License #148020) Dear Parish Family Oh the start of a new year! How exci-ng to celebrate the birth of Jesus and a new year within a week of each other! Celebra-ons galore everywhere! Unfortunately for my folks, in 1974 they were disappointed that their baby did not arrive before the new year and they did not get a tax write-off. I arrived 4 days into With that being said, every year I get to keep celebra-ng with my birthday a few days a:er celebra-ng Jesus s birthday and the new year. It s not all what it s cracked up to be anymore. I am in my 40s. I appreciate every day I have, don t get me wrong, but it s not like when we were li&le and you had your friends over and had a party and cake! This year, my birthday falls on a Friday, and of all the Fridays to fall on, it s the first Friday of the month, so I get to celebrate it with Faith Fill-Up Friday. Faith Fill-up Friday started with the thought that if I got a few kids to come and say prayer with me in the morning we could enjoy breakfast together a:erwards before they head to school and I head to the office. Granted, it s really early in the morning (6:55), but I get up even earlier than that to fix breakfast. Did you know we have an average of kids and 5-10 adults a&end every month for this program? It s open to everyone in the parish (those 5 th grade and younger have to have a chaperone.) The program always has something hot and consistently has bacon and sausage, except during Lent of course. Some months we have eggs or gravy and biscuits and just last month we had pancakes. But in January, we are going to celebrate everyone s birthday and I am going to serve Ice Cream Cake for breakfast. Isn t it always good to start with dessert first? What could go wrong with that? Yes, it may be cold outside in January, and yes, it s 7am in the morning, but we are celebra-ng. We are celebra-ng coming together for prayer and that we are star-ng a new year together and we will celebrate everyone s birthday no ma&er when it is. I cannot say how excited it makes me to see so many young folks come together at 6:55am once a month to pray and share in a meal. If you are available, awake, and want to celebrate with prayer, please join us for cake this Friday, January 4 th at the SP Chapel at 6:55 am. Happy New Year & Happy Birthday to you-from me-whenever your birthday is! The parish offices will be closed un-l January 1. Regular office hours will resume Wednesday, January 2nd. In the event of an emergency, Father Tom may be reached at Dawn Schepers Youth Minister

They are the children of Thy Father in Heaven, created a,er His own image; they are Thy possession, for Thou hast purchased them with Thy Precious Blood; they are temples of the Holy Ghost, who sanc+fied them in Bap+sm and implanted in their hearts the virtues of faith, hope and charity. O most loving Jesus, rule and guide them, that they may live according to the holy Catholic Faith, that they may not waver in their confidence in Thee and that they may ever remain faithful to Thy love.
