Counting Down to the Church Dedication
It is hard to believe that we have now come to the last week of preparations for the dedication of our Church. I am excited and can’t wait to see all of us walking through the entrance of our Church next Saturday.
I thank the members of the Building Committee, Liturgy Ministry, Parish Staff, and everyone involved in the preparation process. My special thanks to all those who are participating in our ongoing Novena Prayer through the intercession of St. Benedict. It is not too late to join us in praying the Novena (attached). Let us continue to pray that we will get the Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Phoenix next week because at this moment, everything depends on getting it.
End of Christmastide
Christmastide ended on Monday this week. We now have a brief period of Ordinary Time of the year until Ash Wednesday on February 14. What a wonderful time to begin in our new Church. I thank the Liturgical ministers, Art and Environment ministers, and everyone involved in the preparations and celebration of Christmas and the New Year.
