1. We are at the end of our drive to collect new registration forms from families. Thank you for the ~200 families who have already responded. If you don’t want to be removed from the directory and haven’t filled out a registration form, please do so now and place it in the box in the back of the church or the collection basket during Mass. You can also mail it to us, drop it in the mailbox, or bring it to the office. 2. The Marriage Retreat “Marriage – Unique for a Reason – will be on January 17. The deadline to register is on January 13. For more information or to register, please call the parish office. 3. It is time again to write this message on our front doors: 20+C+M+B+26. The letters have two meanings: they stand for the three Magi—Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar—and also for Christus Mansionem Benedicat, that is, Christ bless this house. The numbers indicate the current year. We encourage you to take the blessed chalk after Mass, along with the Epiphany prayer, which is in front of the crib.
