Christmas Tree Ornaments
Please note that our Christmas decorations will be taken down next week. If you placed a family ornament on the parish Christmas tree, we invite you to retrieve it during this time. Thank you for helping us keep this tradition alive.
Volunteers Needed for Masses- Audio & Visual Techs
Can you click a button or push a slider? The Tech Team needs you! Every Mass needs volunteers to run the slides or run the sound system. The person would need to arrive 30 - 45 minutes before Mass to setup the slides and the sound equipment for their Mass to not interfere with the Rosary; then put the sound equipment back into the basic setup after Mass. There is mandatory training for new and existing tech team, music directors and Sacristans especially those who serve the daily Masses on either Sunday, Feb 1 at 3:00pm or Thursday, Feb 5th at 6:45pm.
Blessing of Candles on Candlemas
On February 2nd the Church celebrates the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, also known as Candlemas. To join in this celebration and tradition, we will have a blessing of candles at all weekend Masses January 31 and February 1. We invite you to bring your devotional and prayer candles to be blessed.
Adult Bible Study
Saint Paul reminds us in Romans 10:17 that “faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preaching of Christ.” Join us as we hear God’s Word proclaimed in Scripture and listen for the movement of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. This welcoming and engaging Adult Bible Study is a wonderful opportunity to grow in faith, ask questions, and build community with fellow parishioners. We meet every Thursday at 7:00 PM in Mazaika Hall, and all adults are invited to attend.
DCYC
Middle and high school students are invited to attend the Dallas Catholic Youth Conference (DCYC) on February 13–15. This exciting weekend of prayer, community, and worship brings together teens from across the Catholic Diocese of Dallas and beyond. Participants will have the opportunity to deepen their relationship with Jesus through powerful speakers, high-energy praise and worship music, vibrant liturgies, recreation, Reconciliation, and Adoration.
