Thank you to everyone who donated to this year’s Angel Tree. It is very appreciated!
In January, we are going to launch a new ministry in our parish called Alpha. It’s an 11-week course that explores the Christian faith in an atmosphere of community and conversation. Ultimately, its goal is to give a compelling presentation of Jesus Christ and invite people into a relationship with Him – and into a relationship with our parish.
Other Catholic parishes have done Alpha with great success in bringing people to faith. As we repeat Alpha each year, our parishioners and people who have already attended it will invite others who are fallen away from Christ or who have no faith. It will give us the opportunity to meet them where they are, talk about Jesus with them, and show them the love of God.
Alpha is geared toward people who have never had an encounter with Jesus Christ. If that describes you, then I hope you sign up! If that describes someone you love, then I hope you will invite them. This may be the opportunity for them to engage some of life’s biggest questions in an environment of dialogue and community. Dinner will be provided each evening, and Alpha is completely free. And we have a great team of parishioners who will be hosting our guests and leading the table discussions!
In the last several years, our special Book Nook (the parish gift shop) has struggled financially to make ends meet. With increasing shipping costs, credit card fees, and competition with online shopping, our little store has not been able to keep up. Therefore, it is with sadness that I make the decision that we need to close the Book Nook. It is a matter of ensuring that we are good stewards of the financial resources of the parish.
The manager of the Book Nook, Joan Barsness, has done a stellar job as the manager of the store! We have been blessed by her many gifts and the closing of the store is in no way a poor reflection on her or on those who work in the store. Joan has decided that she would like to retire at Christmas, and we are happy for her! Since Joan’s retirement will be a time of transition for the Book Nook, we think that is the best time to close its doors.
This store has been a blessing to our Parish for many years, in part because of the commitment and hard work of its wonderful staff and volunteers. Their faith, love, and smiles have welcomed many to our Parish and to a deeper encounter with Jesus! In these coming weeks, please stop by the Book Nook to thank those staff and volunteers for all they have done, and congratulate Joan on her upcoming retirement.
8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
