Eucharistic Adoration If the Pope himself would give you a special invitation to
visit him in the Vatican, this honor would be nothing in comparison to the honor and dignity that Jesus Himself bestows upon you with the invitation of
spending one hour with Him in the Blessed Sacra-ment. “The Divine Eucharist bestows upon the Christian people the incomparable dignity.”
(Pope Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei) To become a regular adorer or to be added to a
substitution list, please contact Ricardo and Teresita La’O at (636) 391-1997.

WE OFFER PRAYERS FOR OUR SICK
Come to me all who are weary...and I will refresh you. Mt 11:28 Holy Infant received a Christmas/Thank You card from the men staying at the St. Peter & Paul Men's Homeless Shelter in Soulard. The card was signed by about 30 men. They are indeed appreciative of our efforts to prepare and serve them a good meal twice a month. Holy Infant Parish has been doing this for almost 15 years. That amounts to about 330 meals. Thank You again for you willingness to serve the people who appreciate your generosity and kindness. Don't pass up the opportunity to invite others to get involved in feeding the homeless. Call Gene at (636) 527-5385 to sign up to make a meal.

MAY THE SOULS OF THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED REST IN PEACE
Holy Infant Catholic School, building on a founda-tion of academic excellence, in partnership with par-ents and the parish community, strives to teach as Jesus did – in faith, with love and respect, helping each child to achieve his or her full spiritual and ac-ademic potential. Dear Parishioners,
Today marks the beginning of Catholic Schools Week, our annual celebration of Catholic education!
This year’s theme is: “Catholic Schools: Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed.” For the past 62 years, we have been fortunate to have a wonderful Catholic School here at Holy Infant. We recognize the ex-traordinary contribution that our parish school has made in helping to form young missionary disciples on fire with love for our Lord Jesus and the mission of the Catholic Church. We are privileged to have such a rich tradition of Catholic education!
Today we welcome all those who are visiting our school during our Open House who can see what our students are accomplishing. I am delighted to wel-come our faithful Holy Infant parishioners as well as friends and neighbors who are visiting our school and considering Catholic education for your children.
We are blessed beyond measure by our principal, Mrs. Becky McQuaide, our dedicated teachers, staff, administers, school board members, parents and vol-unteers. I thank them – and all of you – who so faithfully support the mission of Holy Infant. The important work that so many of you do on behalf of the children of our parish community is a real bless-ing!
God’s blessings to you and your family,
Lucille Brennan, Wife of Bill Brennan and Mother of Kathy Hummert and Nancy Ficker
FOURTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME JANUARY 28, 2018

“Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of anxie es.” - 1 Corinthians 7:32
How much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by constantly worrying about not having enough or a aining more things? God won’t necessarily give you everything you want, but He will provide everything you need. Try this – use the word “pray” instead of the word “worry” in the future.
