Third Grade Christmas Play

Children in our third grade religious education class performed a Christmas play on Sunday!

There they went a-caroling . . .

Members of our youth ministry sang carols at the VA after the youth liturgy on December 12.

Parish Members Visit Haiti!

During the first week of December two members of our Hope for Haiti Committee--Maureen O'Brien and John Cravotta--were able to visit Haiti and the schools that we support there.  They traveled with Dr. Rodrigue Mortel, the founder of the Good Samaritans School and James Stine College in St. Marc, Haiti.



Maureen and John were able to meet the students we sponsor and to participate in the Good Samaritans School fifteenth anniversary celebration!  They hope to present more of their experience to the parish, perhaps during Lent.  Thanks to all who have supported our outreach to the people of Haiti!

Fr. James Martin on the Synod of Bishops

You may have heard of the Synod of Bishops on Family Life that just concluded.  I'm still learning about what happened there.  There is a short video by James Martin, SJ, on what he sees as the synod's top five accomplishments on YouTube here (+).  It's worth looking at to begin to appreciate the meaning of the synod.

First Grade Religious Education

First-graders make "lost sheep" in their religious education class.

Thanks, as usual, to Mrs. Dillon for the pictures!
