What religion are you?
After the Baptism of his baby brother in church,
little Denis sobbed all the way home in the back
seat of the car. His father asked him three times
what was wrong. Finally, Denis replied, 'That priest
said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home,
but I want to stay with you guys.'
New twist on Lot's tale
A father was reading Bible stories to his young son.
He read, 'The man named Lot was warned to take
his wife and flee out of the city, but his wife looked
back and was turned to salt.'
His son asked, 'What happened to the flea?'

A Special Religious
Education Class for
Students, Parents,
and All Parishioners:
Next Sunday, January 24th parents are
asked to join their children for a one hour
video on the Holy Mass. This special student
and adult class will take place at 9:10 in the
church basement. Students will report to
the school at 9 am like always so that
teachers can take attendance. After that,
student’s grades 4 through Confirmation II
will come to the church basement and join
their parents. (Younger students will remain
in the school and have class as usual).
Teachers from our CCD program will be
facilitating this special class for upper grade
students and their parents.
This video, Altaration, provides a beautiful
explanation of everything that takes place
during the Holy Mass. We are confident
that everyone find this interesting even if
you have been coming to Mass all of your
life. It is our hope that this lesson will help
us all appreciate the beauty, deeper meaning
and mystery of the Holy Mass and possibly
help our students actually look forward to
attending and participating.
All who are interested may attend this
special showing of Altaration. The class is
NOT limited to students and their parents.

There will be a meeting of the Saint Vincent de
Paul Society on Tuesday January 19h at 7:00pm.
