January 3, 2021 - The Epiphany Of The Lord
From the Diocese of Phoenix— Bishop’s Office According to the
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Catholic
Bioethics Center, the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are
morally acceptable and viable options for combatting the virus. For
the sake of public health and the common good, it is an act of
charity to receive licitly produced vaccines. Prayerfully consider
getting vaccinated and consult your physician or health care
provider for personalized medical information. Please continue to
pray for our first responders, medical professionals and public
servants who continue to work selflessly throughout this
pandemic. Be Healthy—Be Holy: www.dphx.org/stayhealthy.

Hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and that all of you are
well. We are looking forward to the hope the New Year will bring.
We are halfway through sacrament preparation for those wishing to
receive their sacraments in the spring of 2021. You can still
register for in person classes or home school through the Parish
Office for Kindergarten, First Grade and 4th/5th during our winter
break. Some of the live classes on Monday are closed, but I will
open more classes as needed in the second semester, so please let
me know your scheduling needs.
I am making a change in the schedule, so the second semester
will start on January 25th to make sure everyone has recovered from
a possible surge in Covid cases, due to holiday gatherings and
travel. The last week of classes will now be the week of May
3rd.
My hope is to add a few more classes on Tuesday in the Second
Semester. Please let me know if your children would attend Tuesday
Classes if offered. Please check the website and bulletin for
updated information during our time off as the situation changes
daily. The revised calendar can be found on our website.
You may email me at [email protected] or call me at the Parish
Office, 480-661-9843 ext 314, Monday through Thursday. I can pick
up emails when I am out of the Office, so you will get a response a
lot quicker than leaving a voice mail.
“Be Healthy, Be Smart and Be Holy” and please remember to pray
daily with your children!
God’s blessings,
Kathie

explores the grace and healing offered in Confession and
shows how this sacrament of mercy reveals the depth and bounty
of God's love.
By looking at God's revelation of his mercy in Scripture and
making a step-by-step examination of the Rite itself, Forgiven
communicates God's invitation to each one of us to come experience
his indescribable love in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
