MERRY CHRISTMAS! Dear Parishioners,

Merry Christmas! May you make room in your hearts and homes this Christmas for Him whom the world had no room when first He came. Let us rejoice in Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Fr. Brian Mee

“Let the just rejoice for their Justifier is born. Let the sick and infirm rejoice for their Savior is born. Let the captives rejoice for their Redeemer is born. Let slaves rejoice for their Master is born. Let free people rejoice for their Liberator is born. Let all Christians rejoice for Jesus Christ is born.” ~ St. Augustine

THE MASS 101 - MASS PRACTICUM Thursday, January 23, 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

With Fr. Darrin Connall & Fr. Brian Mee In typical St. Augustine/Cataldo fashion, there will be a

social in the parish hall to follow.

Presented by CEPHAS

We all have them; those moments at church when we’re not quite sure what is going on or why. The Mass Practicum is an opportunity to find out exactly what you’ve been missing while attending Mass. At this informal yet informative event,

we will walk through the Mass, explaining what happens when and why. Because this won’t be an actual Mass, the priests will allow themselves a more casual style and will be open to answering your questions.

THANK YOU!

We are grateful to all who brought gifts for the Tree of Sharing and

who made cards and cookies for our homebound parishioners.

What a witness to your generosity and spirit in helping make Christmas a little brighter for others! Thank you!
