St. Louis Sacrament Day On Saturday, January 21, 2017 the 2nd Grade First Communicates and the 8th
Grade Confirmation students from St. Louis parish buddied up to learn more about
each other, but more importantly, more about Jesus. The buddy pairs had a
treasure hunt in Church, learned about the order of the Mass, and found that it
REALLY is Jesus in the Eucharist! Please keep them in your prayers as they
continue to prepare to receive these sacraments.
Many thanks to all the volunteers who donated their time, treasure and talent to
make the day a success!

Holiness and The Virtues of Everyday Life
On February 3, 2017 from 7:00pm - 9:00pm, at Our Lady of Fatima Retreat
Center, join us as Fr. Eric Johnson walks us through the Cardinal Virtues and the
daily habits that need to be formed that will lead us on the path of doing God's
will. Come and discover the habits that you have already developed that allow
these virtues to shine through you. It is the gift of these virtues that will fill our
lives with gratitude and joy. Spend a Friday evening discussing the grace that is
found in our faith and in the world around us. We are all called to Holiness and we
have been provided with four rich and beautiful ways to walk the path to that
Holiness.
Suggested Donation is $10 and includes light snacks and refreshments.
Registration is required. Please contact Marcia Johnson at 317-545-7681
