REST IN PEACE
We pray for the repose of the soul of Sister Helen Gerber, who entered the BVM community from St. Mary's Parish; and Leo Schmitz, father of Marie Gurnett.
May they be welcomed into everlasting life!

III A Reminder:
As Catholics, we are to fast for one hour before
receiving Holy Communion. This means no food or drink (except water) may be consumed. Medicines, of course, may be taken when needed.
Catholic Messenger Update
So far, our of 1700 households, St. Mary's has
received 226 subscriptions to the Catholic
Messenger. If you have not yet subscribed, you may place your Catholic Messenger envelope with $25 (or whatever you can give) in the offering basket at Mass, or mail it to 302 E. Jefferson Street, Iowa City, Iowa 52245. Make the check payable to The Catholic
Messenger/ St. Mary's. Thank you.
A Call to the Priesthood
The Church is in great need of dedicated, capable, and holy priests. If you know a young man who, in your opinion, would make a good priest, please send his name and address to Fr. Ken or Fr. Jeff. Many priests today (including Fr. Ken and Fr. Jeff) say that they first thought about a vocation to the priesthood after someone suggested it to them. God may be using you to extend His call to a future priest. Please give this your serious thought and prayerful consideration. St. Mary's Scrip News
Three businesses have joined the scrip bandwagon: The Cottage Bakery, Herteen and Stocker Jewelers, and Sal's Pizza. Think about a jewelry gift and dinner for two for Valentine's Day! Certificates will be sold every Sunday after the first two Masses and prior to the 11 AM Mass.
FREE LUNCH FEBRUARY 17th!
Next Friday, February 17th, is St. Mary's turn to serve FREE LUNCH at the Wesley House. We will need 8 casseroles with meat and 3 vegetarian casseroles, 4 large salads, 5 pans of brownies or cookies, and 9 helpers to serve the meal and assist with clean-up. Your generosity ensures that those who depend on Free Lunch for their noon meal will not be hungry on the 17th. Thank you for your continued caring! You may bring your food donation to the parish hall from 7-8:30 PM on Thursday. |
Baptism Class
Our next Baptism class will be held on Saturday, February 18th, beginning at 9:30 AM in the parish hall. It is not necessary to register for this class.
Inquiry Sessions
Inquiry Sessions for adults wanting to join the Catholic church
or learn more about the Catholic faith will be held on Tuesday, February 21st and Thursday, February 23rd from 7-8 PM in the parish hall. We will also have a session on Sunday,
February 19th from 11AM to noon in the rectory. Inquiry Sessions are for those baptized in another Christian faith, for the unbaptized, and for adult Catholics who were never confirmed. It is an informal opportunity to find out more about the Adult Initiation process at St. Mary's. Each session is the same, so you only need to attend one session.
St. Mary's/First United Methodist Pot Luck Supper
Our annual potluck supper with our neighbors from First United Methodist Church will be held Sunday, February 26th, at 5 PM. We are the hosts for the evening this year. Please bring your own table setting, a meat dish and one other dish to share. Our Children's Choir will provide the entertainment. There is always great food and conversation!
"Hey, Mom!"
How many times a day do you hear that? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed? The MOMS series examines the dynamics of motherhood as they apply to you, focusing on self-acceptance, spirituality, feelings, personal growth, and friendships. During the season of Lent, St. Mary's will again be hosting the MOMS series every Friday beginning March 3rd, from 1:30-2:30 PM in the parish hall. All moms regardless of their parish or church affiliation are welcome to come and explore their role as a mother at a deeper level. To register, come to a brief session on February 28th, at 1:30 PM, or contact Michaela Dietrich at 665-8608 or Kathy Weiss at 351-0963.
Young Married and Engaged Catholic Adults Would you like to get together with other couples, support each other through life events, and pray together? We invite you to join us on Sunday, March 5th, at 5 PM in St. Mary's parish hall. We will do introductions and then eat at a restaurant of the group's choice. For more information please contact Jason and Jennifer at 341-8566 or email them at jasonandjenniferrenk@yahoo.com.
