Dear Family,As we celebrate the three wise men bringing gifts
ofgold, frankincense and myrrh to honor Jesus as Saviorof the
world, I would like to announce our gift to theparish to honor
Jesus.
We have recently honored the Lord with the gift ofjoyful and
rejoicing bells of St. Dennis ringing again. Iwould like to
announce Giving Glory to God- Our ChurchRestoration Project, one of
the goals of our parish in
2012. Plans are in place to restore the interior and exterior of
the church,to beautify the church to make our church an even more
sacred placereflecting the glory of God.
This long term project involves replacing the protective windows
onthe outside of the stained glass, installing new church flooring,
painting theinterior of church, installing additional lighting to
enhance the beauty andability to see, restoration of the Sanctuary
and reconfiguration of theReconciliation room. I am excited about
this project and goal which has
been approved by the Parish Council. I look forward to your
support aswe enhance the beauty and sacredness of our church.In the
Lords Love,
Father Jim

The Epiphany of the Lord January 8, 2012 Todays
Gospel reading reveals the story of the magi who come
from the east to pay homage to Jesus, the newborn king.
The story of the magi teaches Christian stewards three
Christmas truths: God, in the person of Jesus Christ is present
andactive in the world, and stewards must follow his star.
Second,
each of us, no matter our circumstances or station in life, has
a gift
to bring to the Lord. And finally, our lifes journey always
leads to
Christ, even when at times we do not know where the road is
head-
ing. May we, likewise, humbly adore our Savior, by offering our
gift
of Time, Talent and Treasure. W ith hearts filled with such love
we
will shine like stars, helping to lead many to Christ.
