Our next class on the Catholic faith will be held on Sunday, January 18, 2015 at St. John’s. This is not just for those who are new to the Catholic faith, but for anyone who desires a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith. The schedule is as follows: 1:00 PM - The Story of Salvation: Creation, Fall and Redemption 2:30 PM - Who is Jesus?: Just a Good Man or Lord of our Lives? "It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle." St. John Paul II, August 19, 2000 at World Youth Day in Rome A New Year’s Gift for Each of You Fr. Dan is giving a New Year’s Gift to each family of our parishes. It is a DVD titled “Mary.” Why do Catholics focus so much on Mary? Of all the teachings of the Catholic Church, those that are among the most misunderstood tend to center on Mary. Now, learn what Catholics really believe about Mary…and why. Please take an extra copy(s) if you would like to give to family and friends. *this episode is taken from Symbolon: The Catholic Faith Explained and is about 36 minutes in length. ST.

Abortion advocates are spending millions to package their tired rhetoric and half-truths in cutting-edge advertising campaigns targeted to young women... The early feminists were pro-life. And really, abortion is a huge disservice to women, and it hasn't been presented that way." -- Emmy winning actress, Patricia Heaton, from Everybody Loves Raymond †Philip Dolyniuk SAT: 4:00PM Mass St. John’s 1/24/15 Clara and †Frank Michels SUN: 8:00AM Mass St. Mary’s Golva 1/25/15 For the People 10:30AM Mass St. John’s Beach †Tom and †Lorraine Tescher Weekly Offering Thank you for your generous donations.
