“On this feast of the Holy Family, I pray that you and your family will be blessed with the love and joy of the Newborn Christ which we have again welcomed into the world; may the coming New Year be one of many blessings to all.
“I would be happy to visit your home for a New Year/Epiphany Blessing if interested.”…Fr. Dave
Vocation Office/Priestly Retirement Collection – Our diocese makes an assessment to all parishes each year at Christmas to pay for the educational expenses of our seminarians and to help fund the needs of our retired & infirm priests (MPH’s assessment $1,011; Assumption’s $707). Please help our parish pay its fair share of the expenses of our larger Church. If you’d like to make a donation and haven’t yet, please drop it in the collection basket at your earliest convenience.
