Dear Parishioners,
As another Christmas season
comes to a close, with the Baptism
of the Lord January 8th, I am
reminded once again of how
absolutely glorious this season is.
God’s Love is made manifest
throughout the world with the
increase in giving of food, shelter,
clothing, money and most
importantly in the giving one’s
self to the other.
On behalf of Fr. Agustin,
Fr. Steve and myself, I wish to
extend our sincere and heartfelt
thanks to all who gave of
themselves this Christmas. Whether
it be to the Christmas Basket
Projects, to helping prepare our
worship sites for the beautiful
celebrations of Christ’s birth, all of
our Liturgies and especially the
Children’s Liturgies or to giving
food, cards and beautiful gifts to
your family, friends and parish
priests; we are overwhelmed with
gratitude.
May God continue to bless each
one of you and your families now
and in 2018 with His Love, Peace
and Choicest Blessings.
Peace,
Fr. Dave

CHURCH & FAMILY LIFE FAITH FORMATION & YOUTH MINISTRY
“Making Disciples of All Children"
We are all here on Earth to spread God’s Good News. How
are we to do this? The Parish of the Precious Blood Youth
Ministry is currently raising money in order to send teens to
events such as EPIC, LEAD,
Steubenville Conferences, and
World Youth Day where they can
encounter Christ in a personal way, spend
time with other Catholic teens, and to
come back to our Parish with new
knowledge of their faith and an ability to
spread the Good News with their
communities. You have the opportunity to
invest in and nurture their spiritual
journey. Help us to invest in the “whole child” by making a
donation. See donation amounts and payment form in your
pew or by contacting the Parish Office at 498-2536. Thank
you!

A Heartfelt Thank You from H.O.P.E.
The first Christmas Concert for H.O.P.E. was an amazing
success…merci! The Christmas Concert program, a creative
blend of biblical verse, songs, and instrumentals, was
absolutely beautiful and definitely filled our hearts with the
Christmas spirit. Our parish is blessed with many talented
musicians, vocalists, and chefs who shared their exceptional
gifts to help the poor in our community. Thank You for
donating your time and your hard work to make this event
extra special. Attendees also showed their appreciation by
their generous donations at the door and at the Holy Grounds
Café. Please know your support for this event will assist
people in need in our area. God bless you for your kindness
and for Helping Other People Eagerly too. - Dot Cyr
A big THANK YOU! to everyone who donated, helped
assemble boxes or delivered Christmas baskets for Holy
Rosary! Your time, talents and generosity helped make
Christmas enjoyable for over 95 families. - Tim Sturzl
