Be a Disciple on the Journey…
This is the last weekend weekend to sign-up for Disciples on the Journey. Join a small group of 10 – 12 parishioners and take this Lenten Journey. You hear from speakers at Mass about the rewarding experience.
There is a sign-up form attached. Please fill it out and drop off at the Rectory or in the collection basket this weekend at Mass. If you are currently in a Small Church Community, please fill out this form as well.
Ask those who have participated over the years, it’s special and meaningful.
You can download the sign-up form here.
You’re Invited to “Ask Father Tom” …
As you heard at Mass this past weekend, Father Tom will be in the parish hall tomorrow evening, February 12th, at 7:00 PM conducting a Question and Answer session for parishioners.

We’re told that Fr. Tom will answer ANY question. Come find out for yourself.
