Coming to Mass every Sunday, Longing for
more...
Come join us for an evening (or three)
of reflection on God’s love
and to understand God’s plan for us.
The three-day
Revive mission will be held on January 23, 24th
and 25th (Mon. Tues. Wed. ) at Our Lady of
Good Counsel, 230 East 90th St.. Please visit
www.faitheveryday.com for more information and to register. This Parish mission is a
collaborative endeavor on the part of our parish
cluster (Making All Things New) and we look
forward to joining in these evenings of prayer with
our neighboring churches. Tues. Jan 24th is the
Feast of St Francis de Sales and the plan is for our
musicians to add their gift of prayer through music
Feast Day Pot Luck
Jan 28 after the 5pm Mass we will once again celebrate our parish feast day with a wonderful POT
LUCK FESTIVAL!! This promises to be a fantastic evening of food and community-tickets are going fast….they are on sale at Masses and in the office for $1.00. Each family coming is asked to
bring a dish to share. We would like to suggest that
with your dish you bring a list of the ingredients so
we can be attentive to food allergies that people
may be concerned with. If you don’t like to cook
but want to contribute…we will certainly need
beverages….so feel free to contribute that way!!
We look forward to sharing a super night with you.
Small Christian Communities
This coming Lent you will be invited to consider joining a ‘small Christian community’ within our parish –a
group that will pray and reflect together on how the
Gospel calls us to live our Catholic lives more authentically. There will be several options for groups at different times during the week. We hope that you will find
one that fits your schedule and sign up. In this way we
will all grow more deeply in our faith on our journey to
Easter.
LGBTQ
Our monthly meeting will be held on Wed evening
Jan 25 at 7pm in the parish house. Come join us
for faith, fellowship, food and fun.
Social Justice Ministry & Resources
How does our Catholic faith inform the ways we
act in the world? What does social justice mean to
us as Catholics? Sunday the 15th is the first open
meeting of the Social Justice Committee. Interested
but can’t make it email Mary to jump in with questions, comments, ideas at [email protected].).
