RCIA
Our first meeting will be on August 31 at 6:30 pm in Avila Hall.
Meeting this week, Sunday, March 9th, following dismissal from the 9:30 a.m. Mass.
Look Upon a Little Child
Lord, look upon a little child, By nature sinful, weak and wild; O lay Thy gracious hands on me, And make me all I ought to be. Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, Look upon a little child; Pity my simplicity Suffer me to come to Thee. O supply my every want Feed this young and tender plant Day and night my keeper be, And every moment watch round me. Amen!
The Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord
The Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord commemorates the visit of the magi to worship the baby Jesus as told in the Gospel of Matthew: “Behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.’”
Holy Family
The feast day of the Holy Family, but also every family's feast day, since the Holy Family is the patron and model of all Christian families. Today should be a huge family feast, since it is devoted entirely to the Holy Family as a model for the Christian family life. As Rev. Edward Sutfin states:
"The children must learn to see in their father the fosterfather St. Joseph, and the Blessed Mother as the perfect model for their own mother. The lesson to be learned is both practical and theoretical, in that the children must learn how to obey and to love their parents in thought, word and action, just as Christ was obedient to Mary and Joseph. Helping mother in the kitchen and in the house work, and helping father in his odd jobs about the home thus take on a new significance by being performed in a Christ-like spirit."
New Year's Pot Luck Brunch
The Blue Army is happy to announce our first annual potluck brunch on New Year’s Day in honor of the Solemnity of Mary.
Where: Avila Hall
When: New Year’s Day after the 11:30 am Mass
All parishioners are invited to bring a breakfast or lunch dish. Drinks and tableware will be provided. The Thanksgiving Potluck was very successful.

I want to know that many of those who attended requested to meet again, so please consider joining us on New Year's Day.
Gaudete Sunday – The Third Sunday of Advent
The Third Sunday of Advent is also known as Gaudete Sunday. The word “Gaudete” is derived from the Latin words “Gaudium,” joy, and “Gaudeo,” to rejoice or be glad. Gaudete Sunday occurs eight to thirteen days before Christmas, and the nearness of the feast is the reason for great joy.
We Need Your Voluntary Help
We need your voluntary help serving donuts and coffee on Sundays after all the Masses, especially after the 11:30 Mass. This is a very rewarding Ministry that allows you to serve, meet, and visit with your fellow Parishioners. Please contact the Faith Formation Office if you are interested!

The Month of November is Dedicated to the Souls in Purgatory
November is dedicated to the Souls in Purgatory, whose feast is celebrated on November 2. Except for the last two days, the entire month of November falls during the liturgical season known as Ordinary Time, represented by the liturgical color green. This symbol of hope is the color of the sprouting seed. It arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. It is used in the offices and Masses of Ordinary Time.
