Christmas Gratitude

Blue Christmas Tree My sincere thanks to all those individuals who helped make our Christmas Liturgies such holy and meaningful experiences for the parish: The Worship Choir, Children’s Christmas Choir, Musicians, Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, and Greeters. Your participation reflected many blessings and gifts from God, and I thank you for sharing those gifts with your parish family. Thank you also to the Decorating Committee for their beautiful work this season and to the Men’s Prayer Group for putting up our outside decorations. Lastly, many thanks to all the ministries and parishioners who worked so hard on our Advent programs and activities. We enjoyed a wonderful Advent season together as a parish family!

With gratitude, Father Sas

Please Consider Joining the ST. JOHN FISHER PRAYER LINE

All it takes is a commitment of one week, on a rotating basis, to have your name and phone number published in our bulletin as one of two contact people to receive special prayer requests. Then, you notify the other members of the prayer line (by e-mail) of the special prayer request. It’s easy, extremely satisfying, and it does so much good! Please contact the Parish Office to add your name to this very important and rewarding ministry.
