APPOINTMENTS DURING SCHOOL HOURS-If your child needs to go to an appointment during school hours, upon returning, they will need to come to the health room and be signed back into school if it’s the same day.

MARRIAGE MINISTRY
Cost: Free Childcare provided for grades K-8 at no cost
BELOVED: Finding Happiness in Marriage “In 8 sessions, Beloved explores the essential realities of Marriage, dealing with the deepest spiritual, emotional, and practical aspects
of what the sacrament means for those preparing to get married as well as those who yearn for a richer married life. Through Scripture,
Tradition, and Church teaching, God’s plan for Marriage will come alive.
You’ll see firsthand how to experience the mystery, happiness, and joy of this sacrament—from that first “I do” through the rest of your
lives. Informative and inspirational, Beloved will help you live out the Sacrament of Marriage more profoundly, so that your love story
is drawn ever more into the greatest love story of all . . . God’s own love for us.”
Experience the deeper meaning of “I Do”

SOLEMNITY OF THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD Matthew 2:1-4, 7 -11
REFLECTING ON THE WORD
This wondrous Scripture appears almost as a drama, with Herod making a great effort to find the new ruler who would shepherd Israel, using the Magi as informants. The text names three gifts, but doesn’t name how many Magi there were. In its clarity and simplicity, the Gospel tells us that Jesus came not just for the Jews but for foreigners from many lands.
……On the Way to Mass
The Gospel says that the Magi followed a star. How can we find Jesus today, if there is no star to lead us?
On the Way Home from Mass……
I wonder what we can do to light the way for Jesus to come into school, work, and family activities?
