CHARLOTTESVILLE CATHOLIC SCHOOL (CCS) ADMISSIONS: CCS is currently accepting applications for the 2010-2011 school year.  Please visit our website for comprehensive information about Charlottesville Catholic School and our application process. If you would like to tour our school, please call Ann Michel, Admissions Coordinator, at (434)964-0400.  Limited seats are also available for the current school year.

PHILOSOPHY CLUB:  The Philosophy Club will not meet in January.  The next meeting will be Sunday, February 14th at 6:00 p.m. at which time we will discuss "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding" by David Hume. For information, please contact Suzanne Bailey at 296-5033 or Suzanne Bailey.

FIRST RECONCILIATION CLASS SCHEDULE:  First Reconciliation classes for all parish second grade students will be held on January 10, 24, 31, and February 7. All classes meet in the chapel from 9:30 - 10:45 a.m. A parent must attend each class with his/her child. First Reconciliation is Saturday, February 13th at 11:00 a.m. Students are to prepare for the first class by having read Chapter 17 of the textbook.

PANTRY:  Many generous people have made donations to the Food Pantry as part of their Christmas.  These donations will be used up in January, but there will still be hungry people.  Perhaps New Year's resolutions could include a resolution to make regular donations to the pantry.

IMPACT:  One of  IMPACT's goals is to turn out a congregation's average weekly attendance at the Nehemiah Action.  Holy Comforter's average weekly attendance is about 600 people, but we have yet to bring even 100 to the Nehemiah Action.  Can you help to improve Holy Comforter's attendance at Nehemiah Action 2010?

BI-PARISH HAITI COMMITTEE:  The committee next meets at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 24th at St. Thomas Aquinas. All are welcome. To learn more, contact Laurie Duncan at Laurie Duncan.

TRAVEL TO HAITI:  Several trips to visit our twin parish of St. Michel are being planned in the coming months. If you are interested in traveling with one of these groups, please contact Paul Harnois at lphmch@embarqmail.com.
