My Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The invitation from Jesus, “Follow me,” seems simple enough at first. But to follow Jesus means that we leave other things behind, and our following of him could change our lives. We are called to a new life in Christ. Let us strive to live that life to the fullest.

Don’t forget the upcoming Chili Cook-off next month, sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. Further details are in the bulletin. The money raised will go to help pay for the new bound missalettes. And once again, my sincere gratitude for your kindness and generosity to the parish over the past Christmas Season. May the Lord reward you.

There is a second collection this weekend for Project Hope. I thank you for your generosity in advance.Let us go forward in hope and in prayer for the year ahead of us.

Devotedly in the Lord,

(The Very Reverend) Aquinas M. Nichols
Pastor
