This Week’s Mass Schedule
2nd COLLECTION for ST. CATHERINE, HAITI this week-end at both parishes. St. Mary parishioners, please use the monthly envelope in your boxed set. Holy Name parishion-ers, envelopes are available for pick up in the main entry if you wish to put your name and/or envelope number on it.
HN MEN will be serving breakfast today after 8:30 Mass. Group 3, Mike Carr & Gary Kurth, Chairmen. KC FUNDRAISER: A waffle breakfast will be served by the Knights of Columbus next Sunday, Jan. 28th after 8:30 Mass at Holy Name to give parishioners the opportunity to support the PID (Persons with Intellectual Disabilities) program. 90% of the funds raised go to Village Northwest in Sheldon and Hope Haven in Rock Valley. COLD & FLU SEASON: Please use your own discretion about communion from the cup, and perhaps more important-ly, the Sign of Peace. In this season of contagion, others would understand if your gesture was a nod of the head and a verbal "Peace be with you" rather than shaking hands. 2018 OFFERTORY ENVELOPES: Please check to make sure the envelope number printed on the name label is the same as the number on the envelopes in the box. WE NEED TO INCREASE our “pool” of Eucharistic Ministers (EMHC) at St. Mary and are seeking parishioners over the age of 18 who would be willing to assume this role. So far, we only have 2 volunteers! If you attend Mass regularly, especially if you aren’t involved in another ministry (lector, usher, choir) and are age 18+ why not consider helping ad-minister the sacrament of communion to your fellow parish-ioners? Contact the parish office for more information or if you want to become a Eucharistic Minister.
Eucharistic Adoration at St. Mary, Larchwood Every Tuesday 8:30 am to 8:30 pm in the Adoration Chapel
St. Mary Funeral Schedule: St. Clare Circle Please contact Jennifer Roemen (477-2107) or
