Dear Friends,
This Sunday is the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Faith Formation and Adult Bible Study Classes return this Sunday!
Mea Culpa! I forgot to offer this blessing last weekend. I will offer a blessing at the end of Masses this Sunday for all couples celebrating their wedding anniversary in January.
Pray for peace in the world and for protection from storms and other natural disasters.
Some brief, but important news and reminders:
We will have the 8:00AM and 10:30AM Hospitality Hours this Weekend! The 10:30AM Hospitality will be hosted by the Parish Neighbors.
Peace and all good,
Fr. Dennis

National Eucharistic Revival
The National Eucharistic Revival is the joyful, expectant, grassroots response of the entire Catholic Church in the United States to the divine invitation of re-centering our lives on the Real Presence of the Eucharist. In South Carolina, this movement seeks to ignite fervor for the Most Blessed Sacrament in the hearts of faithful through teaching, practice and evangelization.
