Third through fifth grade parents:
We’re beginning to collect gently used clothing for First Communion.  We will take girls dresses, veils and shoes, as well as boy’s suits, dress pants, blazers, shirts, ties and dress shoes.  We will accept them immediately, and then later in the spring we will have a few days for people to come in and find clothes to fit their second grader for First Communion.  No money is exchanged.

Thought for the week

            This week in the readings, we are reminded to trust in Jesus and his loving care for us. We should listen each day for his quiet voice in our hearts, urging us to trust him and to do what he asks.
            While we can listen in the quiet of our hearts for God to speak to us, He speaks to us through the words of the readings every week at mass.  Often times, because we are so worried about what is coming next, we miss the message, not even hearing what is read.  If we just listen carefully (and avoid our distracting thoughts) we will understand the message and can let God work in our lives.
