As the Christmas season is coming to a close we can turn our attention to having our prayer vigils for peace.

After Sunday Masses – Once again we will go down to our cross facing Man O’ War for a short period of prayer. For those who are willing, we will go in cold or in snow. If it is raining we will stay in church. For those who are unable to deal with the winter conditions, we will provide copies of the prayer so that you can pray together in chapel. However, I think the witness of being seen in unfriendly weather conditions can be important.

The first dates are:
January 25 after the 8:30 Mass
February 1 after the 11 a.m. Mass
February 8 after the 11 a.m. Mass
February 15 after the 8:30 Mass
February 22 after the 11 a.m. Mass

Monday Evenings – We will resume our Monday evening prayer vigils beginning on January 19 at 5:30. This will be able to lead into the new “Chosen” study series that begins at 6:00 on January 26.

Mardi Gras • February 17 • 6 p.m. • Parish Hall

The Last Supper

All are invited on Monday evenings at 6:00 pm in the Parish Hall January 26 – March 16. Come whenever you are able.

Participants watch each week’s episode before coming to the session. There will be general discussion of the events in the program followed by a viewing of the Bible Round Table (the director, a Catholic priest, a Messianic Jew, and a New Testament professor).

Deacon John Brannen and Gloria Becker facilitate the group exchange. Questions: bujazo17@gmail.com. Access to Season 5 of The Chosen: Free on the website: watch.thechosen.tv or the app “The Chosen”. Available also on “Amazon Prime”.   

A Bible Study for men and women meets at 10:15 AM to 11:45 AM (after the 9:30 AM Mass).  This Bible Study mirrors our Thursday night Men’s Bible Study. Come any time, you are always welcome.

This is requested due to conflicts and desire for women to be included (request from some of the wives).  Both sessions will be in sync with each other.  Deacon Ed Parsons will facilitate both sessions.  We will begin with St. Paul’s letters to Timothy and Titus.  The book we will be using is Ignatius Catholic Study Bible “The Letters of St. Paul to the Thessalonians, Timothy, and Titus” available at Benedictus Bookstore on Southland Dr. or on Amazon.  Any questions contact Deacon Ed at (502)382-0145 or tparsons@cdlex.org .

CALLING ALL WOMEN TO SAVE THE DATE – January 24-25, 2026 from 8AM Saturday to 4PM Sunday
