Mass Intentions: As Catholics, we have a long tradition of

having Masses celebrated for those we offer up in prayer. The
Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated
for an intention. We ask $10.00 per mass intention.
Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends
on special occasions and anniversaries, as well as those who are
in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of
those loved ones who have died, especially on the anniversaries
of their deaths. Please contact Fr. Cory for more information.

Drinking the Spirit

The next meeting of "Drinking the Spirit" will be January 24th at 7 PM at the Tin Cup. Our presenter is Kenn Cramer, Parish Life
Coordinator of the Ft. Belknap Reservation parishes. His title is I Was a Teenage Anarchist: A Conversion Story.
Each week we will have a different Catholic topic with a presenter. Questions and discussions are encouraged. We are each responsible for our own "beverages" and or food. This should be a relaxing and enjoyable way of learning about the Catholic faith. Please
plan on joining us, spread the word and bring a friend .

Stewardship Thoughts from Judy Held

President, Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana
Now the Lord has spoken who formed me as his servant from
the womb... Isaiah 49:5
You have to do what God is calling you to do and I have to do
what God is calling me to do. Guess what, each of has been
given a different plan! So, stop comparing yourself to
others. Dont let envy and jealousy enter your life. Be thankful
for the gifts God has given you and generously share them with
others.

A very simple, yet generous, way to share your gift of treasure

with our parish or diocese (without writing a check at all) is to
name our church the owner and/or beneficiary of an existing life
insurance policy you have which your beneficiaries no longer
need. In addition, a gift of a paid-up policy would likely qualify
you for the 40% Montana Endowment Tax Credit. To learn
more, please contact Judy at the Catholic Foundation of Eastern
Montana at (406) 727-6683, ext. 120
or judy@catholicfoundationmt.org.
