Happy New Year!
Celebrate the new year by join us tonight for Family Fun Night from 5:00 - 7:00pm!  Along with dinner, there will be fun in the gym for the kids and a chance to meet and reconnect with other parishioners.  Bring the family for a free night of fun!

If your child missed the required Safety Session on November 15th, there will be a make-up session in Room #304 this Wednesday.  You should have received an email earlier today if your child needs to attend this session.  The students will be attending the Safety Session instead of their regular Faith Formation class.

There's still some time to purchase a SuperBowl raffle ticket!  Win 2 tickets to SuperBowl LII plus entrance into the premier pre-game party featuring Kelly Clarkson and complimentary food and drinks.  The value of the package is approximately $14,000. Tickets are $100 each and only 300 tickets will be sold.  If you'd like to buy a chance, a few tickets are available in the Faith Formation Office.

Here are the topics we will be discussing in class this week in Chapter 11:
Grade 1:  Jesus gives us the Church as a sign of his love for us and the whole world.
Grade 2:  The sacraments help us to worship God in a special way.
Grade 3:  Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to bring life into the Church.
Grade 4:  People are welcomed into the Church through the Sacraments of Initiation.
Grade 5:  The unity of the faith is expressed in a variety of ways.
