Announcements for the Week of 1/5/2025

1. It is time again to write the cryptic-sounding message on our front doors: 20+C+M+B+25. 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 home blessing prayer.

2. There will be no Youth Faith Formation on Wednesday, January 8. We will start again on January 15. See you then!

3. The Assumption Youth Group resumes tomorrow/tonight from 6:30 to 8:30 PM in the parish hall. If you are between the ages of 10 and 17, join us for Bible lessons, games, food, and opportunities to volunteer here at the parish.

4. Starting in January, the St. Mary’s Craft Group will meet on the first and third Tuesday of the month, from 9 AM to 12 PM in the parish hall.
