• Mass at 10 A.M. on Sunday, January 2, 2022. Unfortunately, COVID precautions are still in place. Vaccinations and masks are required for all in-person gatherings. We are still in a holding-pattern as we move into this New Year–let us pray earnestly that this is the year we can bid this virus, farewell!
• After the Christmas season is completed and the AAO board has its 4th quarter meeting of last year, we will once again hold our annual board elections. Two of our current board members, Nancy Miller and Mary Ludwigson will be stepping down after several terms each, serving our community. We are most grateful to them! We have two candidates, Bill Crozier and Pat Przybylski and should be able to vote them in by unanimous ballot in a few weeks.

Dear Friends,

Sorry for the lateness of this bulletin…

With this Sunday’s Mass, we officially end the Christmas celebration, even though January 6th brings the 12 days of Christmas to a close. We are called to, “leave the crib” and do what is ours to do in the world.

Come; be with us this Sunday!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
