Good People,
Remeber the Rite of Election comming up on Suday Feb. 10th at 1:30 p.m. Let me know if you are going so that we can get a bus if we need it. After Mass we can travel with James our Catechumen and learn more about the way adults enter the Church.
I would like to thank those who came to the Virtus Training. This is a program that prepares adults who work with children to help protect them. If you are volunteering for the church and are working with children you will be asked to take complete this program.
I would like to thanks Bruce Bucci who is helping out with the Arise Program. This is a program for adult bible study, renewal, and sharing.
I would like to thank Br. Hugh for teaching the confirmation class last week and thank all of you for the love you showed Fr. Michael Medas last week.
We need to pray for a good man who is a friend to our community. For many years now he has caterered events that we have enjoyed. He has been very generous to us and we are so greatful. During the last snowstorm he was injured while using a snow blower. He has serious injuries and I have assured him of our prayers. Please remember him: Mike Richards. Next Sundays Mass, Febuary 3rd, is being offered for him and his family's intentions.
We also need to pray for the repose of the soul of Prayers for Mary E Cassidy who's wake was this past Friday. She is the mother of Mary Dickinson. She was 91 years old and went to the DCC when she was well.
Lastly we must pray with joy for our seminarian. He is going to named a formal candidate for the priesthood of Jesus Christ on January 30th. His parents and I will be traveling to this great event and we will bring your prayers with us.
If you would like to send him a note of congradulations his address is:

Sincerely in Christ,
