COLLECTION FOR CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY

Catholic University in Washington D.C. was set up to train students in all the arts & sciences as do other Catholic Colleges & universities. On its graduate level it focused on theological sciences and awards papal decrees. Many of our priests, nuns & brothers have received their decrees there. They need our help to continue their theological education program.

COMMUNICATIONS COLLECTION

Each year the Bishops ask our help in building up our communication program. More and more we see the importance of getting our message out by radio, Television, the internet. Everybody else is out there. The Church is not a strong presence. They once again ask our help.

Next weekend, Jan. 3rd and 4th we will have a 2nd collection. The collection will be divided between the above 2 groups. Please be generous.

We welcome the following children who have been baptized into the Christian family here at Blessed Sacrament in recent weeks: Collette Marie Kournetas, Gemma Leighton Smith, Dorothy Turner Syracuse, Annabel Lucy Doherty, Olivia Belle Paulos, Knox William John Lambert, Julia Grace Alday, and Sean Thomas Kane.

May you be the best of teachers of your children in the ways of Faith by what you say and do.
