Dear Parishioners,

This week we celebrate Catholic Schools Week and are thankful for the blessing that we have in St. Joseph Catholic School and Mount de Sales Academy. There will be a school open house today (Sunday, January 28th) from 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm if you would like to visit and take a tour of our school. We still have openings for next year's school year, so feel free to stop by for a visit.

This year, the Distinguished Alumni Award recipient is Pauline O'Mahony and we are grateful to her for all she has done for our community and for our school. Congratulations Pauline!

This week we welcome a seminarian to our parish who will be staying with us for the upcoming months while getting some on-the-job training. Solomon Kaanan has been studying to be a priest for the Diocese of Savannah and has been studying at St. Vincent de Paul Seminary in Boynton Beach, Florida. His anticipated ordination is planned to take place in 2020. If you see Solomon around the parish, feel free to welcome him and pray for him on his journey. As Jesus said, "The harvest is great and the laborers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."

Thank you and have a blessed week.

In Christ,

Fr. Winchel

Catholic Medical Association

Lent 2018

The Catholic Medical Association St. Kolbe Guild and the Kolbe Center are presenting a talk entitled "End of Life Medical Issues: A Catholic Perspective." This brief talk will be in the St. Joseph Social Hall today January 28, 2018 at 3:00 PM. The presentation will discuss issues of planning, decision making, advanced directives and other topics that confront individuals and families during emotionally difficult times. Light refreshments will be served. All are invited. If you have questions contact Ann Beall at The Kolbe Center ann@ or 478-257-4425.

We have some very eye-catching dates coming up in our Church calendar. Ash Wednesday is February 14, and Easter is April 1. Maybe this is the year to fall in love with Jesus in the Eucharist, and the year to really become "fools" for Jesus. The Diocese of Savannah is asking parishes to participate in a program called Living the Eucharist. It is a time when small groups meet for Bible study and discussion to further our understanding of the Mass. It is for adults, youth, and families ---truly a program for everyone. Sign up to participate in six small group meetings. Don't miss out on this great opportunity for growing in your faith!

AED Machines And Medical Pagers

Confirmandi Meeting

There are two AED machines located in different areas of the church. One is in the back of the church near the elevator on the wall over the water fountain; the other one is located in the Social Hall just inside the double doors near the kitchen. Our ushers are in need of volunteers to assist in an emergency should the need arise during Mass. Volunteers are needed to be in possession of our medical pagers during Mass. If you are in the medical profession and would like to volunteer for this important service, please see one of the ushers upon arrival at the Mass you normally attend. We appreciate your assistance.

Today, January 28th, there is a meeting for the Confirmandi at 6:30 in the church. Parents and sponsors are encouraged to attend.

Sunday Envelope System

As parishioners we encourage the use of the envelope system or online giving for your offertory. Since many of you have taken advantage of the Online Giving option in lieu of using the envelopes you may want to consider discontinuing receiving them in the mail. If so, please call Cindy in the parish office at 478-745-1631.
