This week, the Sanctuary Lamp burns in memory of Carol Hatch by The Fusaro’s Family.

 

Ash Wednesday is just around the corner! To help us prepare, please bring us your palms from last year by Sunday, February 15th. This ensures we have plenty of time to prepare the ashes for our service on Wednesday, February 18th.

 

The Parish is taking steps to build a Columbarium. There is a need for 4 volunteers to join the Columbarium Board. Check the Bulletin for more information. 

 

The weather didn’t cooperate last weekend, but the Gala Donations Team will have a team member in the Narthex before each Mass to collect your donations for the Gala auction. Your support is much appreciated and will be key to the success of the Gala.

 

The last Saturday of the month, The Knights have free breakfast at 9 am for the men of our parish. After breakfast there is a short "Faith in Action" program designed to bring Catholic men together to share our faith and our desire to serve family, parish, and community. To ensure we have enough food for all, please RSVP to elharless@comcast,net   

​

The Bishop’s Appeal for Ministries Is Underway

 

The Bishop’s Appeal for Ministries begins with a mailing that many of our parishioners have received or will soon receive. Your gift not only funds many of the operations of the Diocese of Knoxville, but it also funds services that are of great help to the ministries here in our parish. For example, funds support…

 

Religious Education receives yearly grants to support their program. For example, the youth room received updated furnishings as well as funding for a youth retreat.

 

Each Appeal gift enables the diocese to build up the kingdom of God throughout East Tennessee. God gives us all that we have. Even when we want to believe that our successes are self-made, we know that it is God who has blessed us abundantly with all we have.  He is always giving to us. His grace is always there for us. One way that we can show our gratitude is by offering our generous financial support to our parish and to our diocese and to the Church throughout the world. The gifts that we give enable ministries, education and services that touch thousands of lives.

 

Please make a commitment to the annual appeal. Thank you in advance for your support.
