A note from the editor:
Please accept my apologies for the lateness of this week's Flocknote. I worked a lot of overtime this week and it was too late in the evening on Saturday to send it without disturbing folks who get this by text. I'll be back on track next week.

Did you know that in Dioceses throughout the United States, January 22 is designated as a Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children? As Catholics we are called to observe this day through the penitential practices of prayer, fasting and/or giving alms, in a way similar to our Lenten practices.

Funeral Servers Needed
We are in need of a few more parishioners who are willing to serve funerals held in our church. As a server, you may be called once a month or less to serve a funeral. You do not need to be a Eucharistic Minister to serve a funeral. Training will be provided, and you would serve with someone until you are comfortable serving on your own. If you are interested and would like to learn more about what is required to serve at a funeral, please speak with Fr. Bill or contact the Parish Office for more information
