Friends,
Merry Christmas!! I hope you had a wonderful experience at Christmas Mass as well as an enjoyable time with family.
I was able to sneak away for a bit after Christmas to spend time with one of my three brothers and his family in Wisconsin. They live abroad most of the year but last December started the tradition of celebrating Christmas at their lakeside cabin.
Once again I would like to extend the invitation to join our university students for a local experience of the SEEK conference. You can choose to attend the entire parish mission or simply one or two days of it. It will feature dynamic talks, Eucharistic Adoration, and Reconciliation. In fact, it will be kicked off with a 5:30pm Mass on January 1st, a holy day of obligation. Details can be found elsewhere in this bulletin.
Other Masses for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God will be on 12/31 at 5:30pm and 1/1 at 9am. Please plan to attend one of the three Masses being offered for this feast day.
Next weekend will feature the first Sunday with our new Mass Schedule: 8am and 10am. You might want to arrive a little bit early to claim your pew :)
Happy New Year!
