MARRIAGE MOMENTS

As the year comes to a close, many people review its

ups and downs. Share the happiest and saddest time

for each of you this past year. Is there anything you

want to change to love each other better next year?

PARENTING POINTERS

It’s the day after Christmas. Perhaps the house is a

mess—but hopefully it’s a happy mess. Presumably

your child has gotten some nice gifts. Take time to en-

joy them together this weekend. Play some games.

Rejoice in each other’s company. Relax.

holy family. Share an expression of gratitude for the

gift of your family today. Pray for wholeness and

holiness for all members of God.

(Colossians 3:12-21)

Jesus is the Anointed One – the ultimate priest, prophet

and king foreshadowed throughout the Hebrew Scrip-

tures. Join us as we deepen our relationship with Jesus

Christ through Fr. Robert Barron’s new DVD-based

Study Program: Priest, Prophet, King.

Explore the biblical archetypes of priest, prophet and

king and see how Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of each

one. Throughout this experience, you will better under-

stand who Jesus really is and also realize your own

priestly, prophetic and kingly mission.

On January 18th our parish will begin the Priest,

Prophet, King study program. To find out more informa-

tion, please contact Jared Zimmerer or stop by the parish

office to register. Cost of Materials is $25. Please regis-

ter by January 4th.

The public areas of the St. Francis facility (like the

Narthex and restrooms of the Church, the Parish Hall

and Multi Purpose room) are just that – they are

open to the public. Your children must not be per-

mitted to leave the church sanctuary or chapel

alone! Go with them! Thank you for helping keep

your children safe!
