2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
How many of us can honestly say that we are leading lives which are worthy of our baptismal calling?
We preach not by words only but by the way we live and the effort we exert to make the world a better place by our presence.
God works through ordinary people – if we let him.

Parish Social
Every Sunday after 9 am Mass coffee, tea and snacks will be served in St. Joseph’s Room.  This is an excellent opportunity to visit with fellow parishioners and build community within our Parish. Please consider making
the time to stop in!

New Parish Database
It has been several years since our parish database has been updated.  To help us obtain a more accurate account of our parishioners we are asking that all families fill out a new registration form  (click here) located at the entryway of the church and school. Please be thorough and fill out the entire form (including all family members) so we can ensure that our records are accurate.
When you have the form filled out please drop it in the collection basket.
Thank You for your cooperation! 

Tax Receipts:
Tax receipts will be available and distributed after Masses on January 22/23.  If you can’t pick up your receipts then, they will be available in the office Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm until February 18th at which point they will be mailed out.  Please try to pick up your receipts before Feb. 18th to save the church postage.
Thank You!                   Christine

Please continue to pray for those now serving in foreign lands.

First Communion Registrations:
