This Week's Bulletin: January 24, 2010
The following are highlights from this Sunday's bulletin. To read the entire parish bulletin for January 24, 2010, click here.
NEED FOR ALTAR SERVERS: There is an immediate need for Altar Servers for the 5:00 p.m. Saturday Mass. Individuals should be willing to serve 1-2 times per month. If you are between the ages of 9 to 90, please consider this important ministry. Training will be provided. Please call Jim Morrisard at 973-6570 if you are interested.
ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS: Charlottesville Catholic School is currently accepting applications for the 2010-11 school year. Please visit our website for comprehensive information and for details about our application process. Applications must be received by February 8th to be considered in the first round of enrollment contract offers. If you would like to have a tour of our school, please call Ann Michel, Admissions Coordinator, at 964-0400. Limited seats are also available for this school year.
CAN YOU HELP?: Holy Comforter has a group of Sacristans that take turns during the week preparing for the upcoming Masses. Each Sacristan signs up for one or two months of the year. During the assigned months, it takes one hour a week at the Church doing some easy, but essential tasks. If you can spare the time to help in the preparation for our Masses, it would be a great help. Training is provided. Another area in which we are in need of a volunteer is in the washing and ironing of the Church linens. If you can help with either of these important ministries or for more information, please contact Barbara Battiston at 244-0185.
BOOK CLUB: Are you looking for a chance to deepen your understanding of your faith? To share your views with other parishioners? If you are, we invite you to read the book "A Key to The Doctrine of The Eucharist" by Abbot Vonier and to come to the next meeting of the book club on Tuesday, March 2nd from 4:00-5:30 p.m. at 150 Bennington Road. For questions or to get directions, contact Therese Stong at 296-9961 or trstong@embarqmail.com.
FIRST RECONCILIATION CLASS SCHEDULE: First Reconciliation classes for all parish second grade students will be held on January 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.
IMPACT: During the recent bitterly cold weather much has been said about providing shelter for the homeless. Making sure that everyone has a warm place to stay in the winter is critical. But there are systemic problems that create homelessness in the first place. So while congregations in the area are providing immediate aid through PACEM, the IMPACT congregations, most of whom support PACEM, are working on the justice issues that contribute to homelessness. Learn about what IMPACT is accomplishing at the Rally on February 25th at 7:00 p.m. at the Church of the Incarnation.
PANTRY: LOTION! During the winter dry skin can be a problem for many people. For the elderly, winter-related dry skin can be very painful. For elderly people living on limited incomes, soothing lotions can be an out-of-reach luxury. The next time you're making a purchase for the pantry, think LOTION!
EARTHQUAKE UPDATE: Many thanks to all who are praying for our brothers and sisters in Haiti. Saltadère felt the earthquake but its people and buildings are okay. We have news that other twinning parishes with twins in the capitol have lost Haitian friends there. Our own Pere Blot has lost three nieces who were in Port-au- Prince. All parts of Haiti are feeling the impact however, as relatives move from the capitol back to the country. Shortages of food and fuel in the capital are causing a rise in price of a scarce commodity. Thank you for supporting the diocesan collection for Haiti last weekend and this weekend. Haiti’s needs are many but the Haitian people have resilience as they place their trust in God. Let us pray with them that God will be their refuge and their strength. Updates on the earthquake and Haitian friends are posted on Saltadère.org
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.
