Deck the CHURCH with boughs of holly... fa la la la la, la la la la!

Sunday Dec. 23 after 5:30 pm Mass we will be greening the church with our very best lights, greens and cheer!

PLENTY of spiced wine, egg nog, apple cider and hot chocolate... as well as pizza will be on hand to feed the hungry hard-workers helping to decorate. Plus, don't forget the Christmas carols we all love to sing...

Be sure to come for the festive fun!

A little bit of Lightworks in your life!

Are you ready for a new perspective?

Does Lent seem like a time for reflection... but you don't quite know how to get started?

Well, then join Lightworks -- a 12-week version of the grounding, inspiring and transforming jewel known as the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius! All the rewards and benefits of a relationship with God and you don't even have to be a silent hermit for 30 days to get it!

Led by our favorite 'freakin deacon' Steve Wodzanowski, fantastic Holy Names sister Sr. Cathy Beckley and delightful Al Roehl, Lightworks will take you through a Lenten journey of insightful presentations, individual reflection, small group conversations, and closing prayer & ritual.

All you have to commit to is coming each week and a little 20 minutes of prayer a day... why don't you come and join?

Starts Thursday, January 24 - April 24, 2008 -- 7:00-8:30 pm at St. Joe's Parish Center.
