We Pray and Hope for a Blessed New Year 2021
“’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:11‐13). Year 2020 has been difficult in so many ways. The whole world faced a pandemic, racial unrest, economic instability, and many other challenges and difficul
es. In spite of all those problems, our eyes are fixed on Jesus Christ, Our Hope and Salva
on! I thank God in a special way this year for the merge of St. Raymond ‐ St. Elizabeth Maronite Catholic Church, it is a blessing to be one community worshiping God and cherishing our different tradi
ons and customs. I thank him too, for all of you who has been helping and suppor
ng the less fortunate families, through Caritas, in dire need in Lebanon. As we do that let us remember that God plan of salva
on for each one of us is on. If we walk in obedience before Him, He will accomplish everything that He desires to accomplish in our lives. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart,... I wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year, hope your plans will be fulfilled as you desired with the blessing of God and the protec
on of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Blessed New Year!

PIVOTAL PLAYERS PART TWO VIDEO DISCUSSION Our Thursday morning
Pivotal Players series returns with season 2 on Thursday, Jan. 7th
at 8:45am (following daily Mass) in Fr. Edwards Hall. This series
created by Bishop Robert Barron follows some of the most
influential leaders of the Church.
Seriously this series was so good we wanted to come back for
more! Each episode stands alone (so you can join for one or
all).
Get excited: season two includes St. Augustine, St. Benedict,
Fulton Sheen, Flannery O’Connor, Bartolome de las Casas, and St.
Ignatius of Loyola. Jan. 7th begins with St. Augustine of
Hippo.
If you would be interested in hosting the series in your home,
or at a time more conducive to your schedule, contact Jen Ryan.
We’d be delighted to help you get started with leading a small
group.
NAMING & COMMENDATION RITE Developed by the Archdiocese of
St. Louis Respect Life Apostolate, the Naming & Commendation
prayer service is designed to meet the needs of families whose
child died before birth for any reason, whether due to miscarriage,
accident, still birth, or abortion. All are welcome despite
religious background, or whether the loss was recent or long ago.
Naming & Commendation will start right after the 8 a.m. Mass on
Saturday, January 9 at Christ, Prince of Peace in Manchester, with
an opportunity to name the child, bring peaceful closure to great
loss, and allow each family to unite with our merciful God. To RSVP
or for more information about the event, please contact Susan Nowak
at 636.394.0272 or [email protected] and Val Krygiel at
636.391.6289 or [email protected].
