2 WORSHIP A Request to Pray the Rosary Next to the Mass, the Rosary is the most powerful prayer. Never has there been a greater need for prayer. Our Blessed Mother begs us, particularly those graced with the knowledge and appreciation of the power of the Rosary, to pray the Rosary every day for world peace, for the end of abortion, discernment between good and evil, vocations, lukewarm and fallen away Catholics, marriages, political civility, for souls in purgatory, for the intentions of the Holy Father, and especially for those in most need of God s mercy. Are you familiar with the Holy Name Prayer Line? It is a group of 30+ parishioners (called the Prayer Line Partners) who pray for anyone who is in need of prayers for any reason. It could be an illness, loss of a loved one, etc., or a special intention. We invite you to share your prayer needs by calling Ann at the rectory ( ). You don t even have to give us your name just who (first name only, or you can say a woman, a man, a parishioner) the group would pray for and a very brief reason (i.e., surgery, illness, special intention, etc.) for the request. We compile a daily list (Monday through Friday) and it to the partners who have s, and it is called in to those who do this by phone (first person calls the second, and so on). New partners always welcome. Please contact Ann at the rectory, , with your interest. The ANNUAL PRAYER LINE PARTNERS BREAKFAST will be Saturday, January 26 th, right after the 8:15a.m. Mass. As in years prior, it will take place at Donovan s Irish Pub at the Eastfield Mall. Please R.S.V.P. (REGRETS ONLY) to Ann at by the Monday before the event (January 21 st ) so we can give an accurate count to the restaurant. They open up and bring in staff especially for us, so we should be as courteous as possible by giving them a true count. Thank you!! We encourage you to clip and save the prayers for future worship. Loving God, bring us light in the darkness, peace in the turbulence. And may we be the bearers of your light to others. Amen. STEWARDSHIP Collections for January 5 & 6, 2019 total $6,677.10!

4 Concerning Hospital Visits If someone in your family is in the hospital and you want to have Fr. David, Fr. Joyce or Sister Melinda visit, please call the rectory at and leave a message for either father or Sr. Melinda, (ext. 130). Unfortunately, a parishioner s name is not always on the daily list of Holy Name patients; so we ask that you give us a call with the information (name, which building, room #, etc.). This way you or your loved one will be assured of a visit. LOAVES AND FISHES You are invited to join with other volunteers on the first Monday of every month to come to South Congregational Church on Maple Street to serve a meal to the hungry of our city.

If you can help with the cooking or serving, please call Ann at the rectory, , or if you decide to come and don t have time to call ahead, that s fine, too. Meals can either be dropped off between 4:15 and 4:30p.m., or stay and serve and be out in about an hour. You ll find plenty of safe, off-street parking right in the church parking lot.
