Offices were closed yesterday... we are just catching up! Hope that your New Year is going well. Remember that we are still in the Christmas season wishing and praying for peace on earth and goodwill towards all!
Of course, you have all heard the news that Pope-emeritus Benedict XVI passed away on Saturday. The solemn funeral will be held Thursday morning in Rome. It will start at 3am our time and will be broadcast on EWTN and potentially news channels as well.

This weekend, please remember to pick up casserole dishes after mass.
You can return the next weekend with a frozen dish ready to be shared with the hungry and homeless served by Our Daily Bread in Baltimore.
Have a wonderful and wonder-filled New Year!
Que tenga un Año Nuevo maravilloso y lleno de maravillas.
