PRAYERS FOR THE DECEASED: We pray for our loved ones who have died recently, especially Terry Welsh, Guy Proulx and John Valliquette PRAYERS FOR THE SICK AND SHUT-IN: Let us raise up in prayer those who seek Gods healing love, those at the hospital, hospice and at home especially Joan Prince. May your struggle be consoled by Christs love.

ON OUR WAY WITH JESUS: Part Two WE SHARE IN THE EUCHARIST will begin this Wednesday, January 25th with a parent/child meeting at 7 p.m. in the church. The commissioning Mass will follow on the weekend of January 28th and 29th. THANK YOU!! ast year at this time we proposed that people who support our parish financially consider a cost of living increase of one dollar a week in your Sunday contribution. A large number of you did just that and we thank you!!! As we prepare our year end review, we note your increase which has offset some of our challenge to meet our increased costs as well as the loss of several parishioners who were regular contributors to our parish. For all that you do and the responsible way in which you support St. Francis Xavier Parish we thank you.

We will all be changed by the victory of our Lord Jesus Christ

(1 Cor 15:51-58)

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Ecumenical Service Jan. 22, 2012 2:30 p.m. Bonnechere Manor Auditorium
Refreshments to follow The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is celebrated around the world on January 18 25, which are now also the dates recommended by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. This universal week of prayer encourages Christians of all denominations to meet, to participate in various liturgical and other community activities, and to pray together that all may be one, as Christ desires. The importance of unity among Christians and the responsibility of the people of each parish to work for this unity should be emphasized. All members of the parish should seek to have a deeper understanding of ecumenism.

WEEKDAY MINISTRIES: We are in need of more weekday Lectors. This is not a huge time commitment. You would be scheduled for a Mass that suits and you would be on only a few times a month. Also, if there is anyone currently in weekday ministry who wishes to change ministries this can be also be accommodated. Please speak to Fr. Proulx or Fr. Holly if you are interested in this or any weekday ministry.
2012 ALTAR LINENS & BONNECHERE MANOR BULLETIN DELIVERY: 2012 schedules for these ministries will be available in February. If any of the those presently in these ministries have any issues regarding participation issues or availability please contact the office. If anyone would like to be added to this ministry you are more than welcome to contact us also.

INCOME TAX RECEIPTS: Income tax receipts for the year 2011 will be ready some time during the next few weeks. To obtain a receipt, simply put a stamped, self-addressed envelope in the collection basket and it will be mailed to you.
