HOSPITALITY

Be sure to come by after Mass on

Sunday mornings and share some

time with friends from SJTB.

Coffee, donuts, and drinks are

available with a cozy and friendly

atmosphere! We ask for donations

or for some help in bringing

donuts or coffee.

Bishop Coerver would like to

remind all parishes that because

January 1st falls on a Monday this

year, The Solemnity of Mary,

Mother of God, is NOT a Holy Day

of Obligation in 2018.

Therefore, there will be no Mass

on Monday, Jan. 1st.

The parish office will be closed on

Monday and Tuesday,

Wishing you the blessings of Christ

on this New Year!

May God always shower you

With much joy and happiness!

Enlightened Faith

Presentation on Charisms

A charism is a gift that comes from

the Holy Spirit. Its purpose? To serve

others, and especially to build up and

renew the Body of Christ, the church.

Saint Paul says that each of us, by

virtue of our Baptism, receives gifts

of the Spirit for the good of us all.

Join us for an informal overview as

we take a look at a Charism inven-

tory to help discern your Charisms.
