Pray for the Dead
There is a table set up in the narthex where you may write the name of a deceased loved one whom you would like us to pray for during the month of November. Feel free to bring a picture of whom you would like us to remember and place on the table.
Brown Bag Blessings
Our local food pantries are in need of non-perishable items that can be used for the holidays. Bring your donations to the church and they will be picked up. Our goal is to stock as many items as we can by Thanksgiving! Thank you for your support.
Women's Ministry
My name is Kathie Ousley and I am reaching out to the women of our Parish. For the last few months God has been nudging me to start a women's ministry at our church. Since our parish mission with Mike Patin and his call to action on his last night with us, I can no longer ignore God's voice. What does this mean?
What I do know is that this will be a time of prayer, reflection, fellowship, mentoring, and creative ideas to bring our faith back to our community and families. The last couple of years has looked very different for all of us and if you are like me, you may be searching to be fulfilled with the Spirit like never before. Or maybe you don't know what you are searching for. Or maybe you are fulfilled. Wherever you are at in your spiritual journey, we need you! We do have a survey for you to fill out too in case you didn't get a paper copy just follow this link.

New COVID-19 Information
In concert with the lifting of preventative measures in many jurisdictions in our diocese, including our own Clay County, Bishop Johnston has authorized “normal celebrations” of our liturgies, except for the distribution of the Precious Blood. Since not everyone is vaccinated, it is important that we exercise prudent care for one another, especially in terms of being aware of and monitoring any COVID symptoms. The Bishop’s general dispensation from Sunday Mass and other Holy Days of Obligation will be lifted on June 1st. Please let your friends and family know how important it is to come to Mass. With this in mind the Bishop has given us a Pastoral Letter called “Keeping the Lord’s Day” on how important the Third Commandment, keeping the Lord’s Day holy is, and how we can better make it a meaningful part of our lives. Hard copies are available in the Narthex of our church and here is a link to the Bishop’s introduction and for an electronic version of the letter: https://kcsjcatholic.org/keeping-the-lords-day-pastoral-letter-on-the-importance-of-sunday/
KEEPING THE LORD’S DAY: STUDY GUIDE Bishop Johnston’s Keeping the Lord’s Day Study Guide is a 3-lesson guided study for use by families or small groups that serves as a useful tool to bring together families, parishes, small groups, youth groups, and others wanting to establish or renew a commitment to the importance of Sundays and Holy Mass. Filled with scripture reflections, beautiful sacred art, suggestions for celebrating Sunday, and the full text of Bishop Johnston’s pastoral letter, this booklet offers a way to unpack God’s beautiful gift of rest. Copies may be available in the narthex or go to https://kcsjcatholic.org/wp-content/uploads/Keeping-the-Lords-Day-Pastoral-Letter.pdf to see it online.
