You are Invited! On Sunday, January 7th at the 9:30 Mass, I will be celebrating

my 40th Ordination Anniversary. You are cordially invited to this joyful celebration followed by a catered brunch in the

school hall. I hope that as many of you as possible will celebrate with me on this special anniversary.

Please call the Parish Office by December 29th if you plan to come to the reception.

~Fr. Prusaits

We welcome Fr. Augustine Vondou to our 9:30 Mass this Sunday. He will be speaking to us about the support of the development of St Andrew’s School in Cameroon Africa.

The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph In today’s Gospel, Simeon and Anna make a startling prediction about Jesus and the life that awaits him.

Mary and Joseph hold in their hearts all that they hear and remain faithful to all that God has asked of them as parents. In

celebrating this feast we pray that the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph will be a model of faithful love for all Christian families. Offer a prayer today that your entire family will be open

to God’s word.
