Prayer for Christian Unity
Lord God, illumine our path by the light of Christ who moves us and leads us.
Guide us to discover a small manger in our hearts where a great light still sleeps.
Creator of light, we thank you for the gift of that unfading Star, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Heal our divisions and draw us closer to the Light that we may find our unity in him. Amen.

This weekend is the collection for Catholic University of America which offers graduate and undergraduate courses in more than 180 academic programs. By giving to the National Collection, you will help support more than 6,000 students who are seeking a faith-filled education at an institution that supports cutting-edge research in multiple fields. Your investment will enable the University to continue to support the Church and to advance its work of preparing the next generation of leadership, both religious and lay, of our Church and nation.
We are grateful for our 2021 Christmas season environment set up and tear down volunteers:
Cathy, Bill and Will Graham; Chris, Mike and Susan Crawford; Carol and Marv Smith; Nora and Jay Owens, Dawn Tarka, Laura Fratus, Stan Kozak, Judy and Jim Slivka, Mike and Katie Pellegrino.
Also thank you to Janet Meany and Chris Dusek for keeping the flowers and greenery fresh throughout the season. Our seasonal decorations would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers! Thank you!
Due to increased cases of the Omicron Covid-19 Virus, Fr. Gurnick has suspended all in-person parish activities until February 15th with the hope that the surge in the virus will significantly decrease by that date.
This is God’s work: to come among us. If we consider ourselves unworthy, that does not stop Him. If we reject Him, He does not tire of seeking us out. If we are not ready and willing to receive Him, He prefers to come anyway. Let us invite Him into our lives, especially in the dark areas… into our ‘inner stables’. And let us also tell Him, without fear, about the social and ecclesial problems of our time, even our personal, difficult problems: God loves to dwell among us! Angelus Message, Jan. 2, 2022
2022 Offertory envelopes are available at the church doors. Please write your name & address on the envelope as you begin using them so we can keep proper records of your contributions. Thank you!
