Eucharistic adoration is the greatest of actions. To adore is to share the life of Mary on earth when she adored the Word Incarnate in her virginal womb, when she adored Him in the Crib, on Calvary, in the divine Eucharist. ~Peter Julian Eymard

EUCHARISTThursday Evening Bible Study
"The Eucharist… the source and summit of Christian life.”
DID YOU KNOW…?
The Eucharist was not a sudden revelation of Jesus at the Last Supper? It is something prepared for by Jesus in His teaching and miracles, prefigured in numerous events throughout the Old Testament, participated in by the early Church and in the days immediately following Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, and consistently taught on by the Church beginning with such apostolic giants as St. Paul.
The more you know about Jesus in the Eucharist, and the great gift it is, the deeper meaning the Mass will have for you!
THURSDAY evenings at 6:45 in the Parish Center, beginning January 13, ten sessions. Workbook $10. Video is also available on FORMED!
Sign up in the narthex or email Mary Baehr at mcbaehr.coa@gmail.com
PHILIPPIANSMonday MorningBible Study
Towards the end of his life, under arrest and awaiting trial in Rome, Saint Paul writes a short but powerful letter to the Philippians. At the heart of this letter is Paul’s eloquent hymn of Christ’s total gift of self, the model for Paul’s life.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Phil 4:8
MONDAY mornings at 9:00 a.m. in the Parish Center, beginning January 24, six sessions. Workbook $10. Video is also available on FORMED!

36th Anniversary of theDedication of our Parish
Wednesday, January 19, 20226:00 PM Mass
Town Hall Meeting
As you may recall, previous capital campaigns raised money for renovations of our church space. There is a little more than $1 Million in that fund. The most recent plans, offered in 2017, generated some disagreement about whether to move forward. The parish, with some professional help, is organizing some Town Hall Meetings to discuss all our parish properties and buildings. You are invited to participate either on Thursday, January 20, 2022 at 7:00 pm or on Sunday, January 23, 2022 at 12:00 noon in the Parish Hall, on the lower level of the church building.

International Peace Light from Bethlehem
Through the efforts of our own Scouts BSA Troop 360, the Church of the Annunciation will have, for the first time, the International Peace Light. The International Peace Light is collected from the Grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem, where Our Lord was born. You will have an opportunity to take the Peace Light home with you. If you do not have a safe way to transport the light, you may get a candle in glass from us. A $5.00 donation will help us defray the cost of the candle (although, of course, we would happily accept a greater donation). The Peace Light should be available through the Feast of the Holy Family, December 26th. For more information, visit peacelightnorthamerica.org.

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/
