PLEASE PRAY FOR THE REPOSE OF THE SOUL OF TERESA MARTIN FORTIER
whose funeral was held from this parish last week. Our condolences go out to the family.

LENTEN PREPARATIONS:
It seems hard to believe but Lent begins February 22 this year. You are invited to bring last year's palm branches back to the parish so they may be burned and the ashes distributed on Ash Wednesday.

THE "BIBLE STUDY GROUP" HAS BEGUN
meeting again for 2012 on Friday the 13th of January after the 11:30 am Mass. Bring a bag lunch. Coffee and tea are provided. The group meets for an hour in McMahon Hall and discusses various topics related to scripture and matters religious. Participation is on a casual basis and one does not need to commit to attending all sessions.

REMEMBER THAT YOUR SPECIAL PRAYER INTENTIONS
may be written in the "Prayers of the Faithful" book located in the Foyer of the Church. This book is brought to the altar, along with the gifts offered at Mass, and presented to the priest. This book of particular requests is placed near the altar for the remainder of the Mass with the intention of asking God to favour a reply.
