The Junior Sodality will be meeting on January 30 from 2pm – 4pm to work on a service project.  We will begin with a talk from Father Eichman.  The Junior Sodality is open to all young ladies of the parish ages 9 – 18.  For more details or to R.S.V.P. please contact Jill Lear at jilllear@hotmail.com.

Adult Catechism Class

Fr. Killackey is offering an adult catechism class during the academic year on Monday evenings at 7pm. This class is primarily geared towards those wishing to become Catholic, but any adult wishing to know more about the Faith is welcome to join. If interested, please contact Fr. Killackey at fr.killackey@materdeipa.com.

Sung Vespers

We will have Sung Vespers tonight at 5:30pm, followed by the 6pm Mass.

Lost & Found

We have removed the small "Lost and Found" box from the vestibule. It is now in the social hall in the basement. Lost items of higher value such as Hand Missals will be kept in the sacristy until claimed. We are doing this in an effort to keep the vestibule clean from clutter. Also, please do not use this space to give away free items. This includes holy cards, religious books, food and clothing items. Thank you!

Second Bench Placed in Vestibule

We are putting a new bench in the vestibule to give parents a place to take their children when they begin to make noise.

Epiphany Water Available

There is Epiphany Water available in the back of the church near the baptistry for anyone who would like to take some.

Latin Class Break

We will not continue the Latin Class which was being taught by Mr Dracoules this spring. The class may resume again the coming summer or next fall.

Sacramentals for Expectant Mothers

There are certain Sacramentals in the Roman Ritual through which we request God’s blessing that an expecting mother can have a safe delivery and also the grace of having her child baptized. The priests would be happy to provide the following to any expecting lady at her request. Please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Blessing of Expectant Mother: Can be given at any time during pregnancy.
  • Candle in Honor of St. Raymond Nonnatus: To be taken home and burned, and especially when the time of delivery approaches.
  • St. Torellus Water: Special Holy Water which can be sprinkled, used to bless oneself, drunk, or used in small amounts in cooking.
