Next Sunday is New Year’s Day. We will follow our regular weekend schedule of Masses next weekend: Saturday, December 31^st at 5:30pm, and Sunday, January 1^st at 8:00am, 10:00am, and 12:00pm.

GIVING TREE THANK YOU:

Our Holy Name Society thanks everyone who contributed to make our Giving Tree a success. A total of $2,195.00 in gift cards and cash was donated. With these funds we were able to help 14 families in our parish with food and children’s gifts, as well the needy people in our community served by the ministry of the Sisters of Notre Dame through our convent. God Bless You!

COFFEE SCHEDULE

As we prepare the 2017 10:00 Mass Coffee schedule, we invite all organizations and parish families to continue hosting these coffee socials and look forward to having new people join as hosts. To volunteer contact Dalia Armonas (jarmonas@sbcglobal.net) Loretta Gudenas (lgudenas@yahoo.com /216-481-0465) or

2017 CALENDARS
 

    Our 2017 Church calendars are available on the tables in the main lobby of the Church. We thank our friends and fellow parishioners at the Jakubs Funeral Home for providing them again this year.

       Merry Christmas to all! Today we celebrate the birth of our Savior. For most of us, this day will be filled with tradition, remembering our own childhood and marveling at the wonder we see in the eyes of the children in our own families. But more than tradition, Christmas is a celebration of life - our own lives, the lives we are living today. The message of he angels – “Today a savior has been born to you...” reminds all of us of God’s presence in our lives.

     May the Peace and Joy that this great Feast signifies be with you this Christmas Day and every day of your lives. In the name of our staff, employees and volunteers who do so much for us, I wish all of you a very Holy and Peaceful Christmas.

God Bless!   Fr. Joe Bacevice

FATHER BACEVICE’S 40TH JUBILEE

On Sunday, January 15^th, Father Bacevice will celebrate his 40^th Anniversary as a priest. On that day, we will have one Mass at 10:00am (bilingual) followed by a brunch in our upper hall (gym). We invite everyone to join us that day at Mass and at the brunch. There is no cost for the brunch but we ask you to notify Loretta Gudenas at lgudenas@yahoo.com (or drop a note in the collection basket) by January 5^th to let us know if you are attending and how many people are coming from your household. Even if you forget to respond, please know that you are still welcome to come to the brunch.

CHRISTMAS COOKIE COFFEE SOCIAL

Sunday, January 1, everyone is invited to a family-style Coffee Social after the 10:00 Mass. Parish families are invited to bring a plate of Christmas cookies to the lower hall to share the Christmas spirit (and goodies) with fellow parishioners.
