MASS INTENTIONS THIS WEEK (FROM 27. I. TO 2. II.)

 

SUNDAY, 2. II. (11,00) – FOR THE PARISH COMMUNITY

 

***THE HOLY SEE

 

*SUNDAY OF THE WORD OF GOD. On the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time the Church worldwide celebrates the Sunday of the Word of God, established by pope Francis in 2019. The theme for this year's, Sixth Sunday of the Word of God is: I hope in your Word. Pope's intention was to emphasize importance of the Holy Scripture in celebrating, reflecting and spreading the Word of God. This Sunday also wants to reconnect us with our Jewish and other Christian denominational brothers in common search for God's will and profounding fellowship.

*WORLD WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY. From 18th till 25th of January. Let us join in prayer, sacrifice and good deeds for this important cause for all Christians.

 

***PARISH

 

*FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD AND ST. BLAISE. Next Sunday is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord and the day after is St. Blaise Day. Therefore, on the next Sunday, at the beginning of the Mass there will be traditional blessing of candles, and after the Mass individual blessing of throats.

*FIRST SATURDAY. First Saturday in February is ahead. It is a day dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and prayer for vocations.

*DONATION ENVELOPES AND CALENDARS. If you haven't done so already, you can take new envelopes them from the table at the entrance. Thank you everybody for your contribution to keep our parish active. Croatian Catholic calendars I will bring personally to each family during the blessing of the families.

*BLESSING OF FAMILIES. It's ending this week. Sign-up list is still available on the table by the entrance door, or you can email or phone the parish office. During the blessing of home there should be crucifix and a lit candle on the table.

*CATECHISM CLASSES FOR CONFIRMANDS AND CANDIDATES FOR THE FIRST COMMUNION. Soon we will be back with catechism classes. Confirmands will have class the other week on Friday, February 7 at 7:30 p.m. Candidates for the First Communion will have their class another week, on Friday, February 14 at 7:30 p.m. Attending Sunday mass is implied for all.

*CHAIR CLEANING DAY. Saturday, February 1, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  we will gather to clean and refresh chairs in the church hall.  We would appreciate it if you could come and help us in this endeavor. For any questions, please contact Reverend Kalmar at: leopoldmandic@rogers.com.

*MEMEBERSHIP LIST RENEWAL. After the AGM, we will be renewing our membership list for the 2025 season so you can opt-out of receiving communications throughout the year. I try to limit the communications to as few as possible but I don’t want to be sending emails to people who do not want to receive them. A communication will go out by February 1st at which time you can opt out of receiving emails going forward. Alternatively, if you know people who are not receiving the emails feel free to share their email addresses with me if they want to join the membership list for 2025.

*SPONSORSHIPS AND PREPARATION FOR 2025 SEASON. As we prepare for the 2025 season, there is a lot of work to do and that cannot happen without Sponsorship support. Please spread the word that we will be looking for more sponsors in 2025 as we look to have a very successful season across all of our teams.

Alternatively, if you know of people/players/volunteers that are interested in getting involved, please spread the word as we are always looking for strong soccer players to join our club and help us put the best possible product on the field for all of our teams. We are looking for good people that have the right attitude and fit in well socially with our teams. Spread the word as we want to be a place that people feel welcome and want to help the club succeed.
