The highlights of adult

formation for the parish

included education of the

new Roman missal, bible

studies, a Christmas

concert, and R.C.I.A.

We worked on the

changes to the New Ro-

man Missal in variousways: by participating in

the Why Catholic? small

faith sharing groups; by

doing Our Call to Wor-

ship multi-generational

sessions, skits, games,

and video clips. In addi-

tion, we offered two Ask

Father Paul sessions.

This past year we contin-

ued the series, The

Great Adventure Bible

Study with the book of

Revelation and also

studied A Biblical Walk

Through the Mass. In

Dec. 11 we welcomed

the Mid-Ky Chorus for

their beautiful Christ-mas concert.

The Rite of Christian

Initiation met on Sun-

days throughout the

year with five people

receiving Baptism, Holy

Eucharist and Confir-

mation at the Easter

Vigil. The highlight of

the evening was wit-

nessing a tearful Brooke

Ann Armstrong being

baptized and the warm

embrace awaiting her as

her father wrapped her in

a warm towel as she

walked out of the baptis-

mal font. The Holy Spirit

was present! Two othersreceived First Holy Eu-

charist and Confirmation

while four others remain

in the Catechumenate.

We look forward to their

receiving the sacraments

in the near future.

Blessings, Lisa Downs

Per the Archdiocese,

each parish is asked to

provide to their parish-

ioners a Parish Account-

ability Report, or recap of

each fiscal year. Thisreport includes our annu-

al income statement and

end of year balance

sheet, as well as activi-

ties, ministries and sac-

ramental information for

the 11-12 (July 1-June

30) fiscal year .

This past year we were

blessed with Fr. Paul

Beach and have recently

welcomed our new pas-

tor, Fr. Dale Cieslik, who

joins us from St. Elizabeth

Ann Seton. Before Fr.

Paul left he challenged us

to continue our capital

campaign giving untilMay 14. Even though our

five year campaign ended

June 12, at that time we

still owed approximately

$590,000 on our church

loan. Our blue envelopes

used for the capital cam-

paign giving will continue

to be mailed to parishion-

ers. (We could never have

anticipated the downturn

in the economy soon after

we took out our loan.)

Prayerfully consider your

part in helping our debt

repayment.

His peace, Helen Hagan

This was the first major change to

the Roman Missal since the early

1970s.

2005. Activities such as: liturgi-

cal planning, music ministry, art

uling and training, nursing home

ministry, bereavement and funeral

planning are coordinated by the

Worship Committee.

During 2011, the Worship Com-

mittee was also responsible for

the full implementation of the new

General Instruction of the Roman

Missal (GIRM) and the introduc-

tion of the Third Edition of The

Roman Missal.

Bringing our Sunday liturgies into

full compliance with the new

GIRM was accomplished by mak-

ing some minor changes to pos-

train ministers in all areas of par-

ish activities, as well as, inform

the parish at large about the

changes that would become ef-

fective on the First

Sunday of Advent.
