Elections for parish council will be in January. We are doing our best to make sure we can have the elections, but due to the Covid epidemic we may move them to a later date. Please consider parish members who you think might be an asset to the parish council.

The 2021 weekly offering envelopes are on the table in the back of church. If you did not get a box please let me know- Trudi.      2021 CALENDARS ARE IN, HELP YOURSELF.   LECTOR WORKBOOKS ARE HERE and began with Advent.   Books are in the Sacristy or see Beth Fancher.

The next Altar Society meeting will be February 7.    Please join us!

Please welcome to the parish the RCIA catechumens and candidates. Kylie Newlin, Sierra Price and Steven Yates are preparing to complete their initiation into the Catholic Church at Easter this next year. Please also keep them in your prayers as they travel this journey of faith.

The current balance towards the new cemetery fence is $6,690! Thank you for your support of this effort.
