January 1st Holyday On this Friday, January 1
st, we honor Mary with a
special title, “Mother of God.” Since we believe that Mary’s child was fully divine as well as human, the title is most fitting. It recognizes her unique position as the one who bore God’s Son in her womb and nourished Him for 9 months before giving the Savior to the world. She is that first ray of dawn that announces a new day for humanity. We come together to recognize her at the start of a new year. Masses will be Thursday Dec 31
st,
at 7 p.m. and Friday Jan. 1st
at 7 am and at 12 noon.
Adoration Cancelled on January 1st There will be no adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on Friday, January 1st and no First Friday Confessions the day before.
