Every man of the parish is invited to join us on Wednesday mornings; after all, you are already members. Our dues structure cannot be beat! Contact: Bill Oades

Women's Bible Study
Do We Realize How Richly We’ve Been Blessed?
Embark on a guided tour of the “Holy of Holies” of biblical theology. The book of Hebrews is like a little Catechism. It is steeped in rich truths that are foundational to our Catholic faith, but its highly refined theological concepts can be difficult for even the most seasoned Bible scholars to unpack. To obtain the materials for this study, visit www.ascensionpress.com and click on the study name. The materials are $29.95 and includes workbook and online video access for one year. No need to register for the study; just show up on January 11 in the St Joseph Room! 

Tuesdays, beginning January 11. Meet for Mass at 8:15 a.m. then head to the St Joseph Room. Join us at 9 a.m. if you are unable to go to Mass. No experience necessary! We are all on our own faith journey and we would love to have you!
For more information, contact Jennifer Heiman at jenheiman7@gmail.com. We hope you can join us!
