May she be welcomed into everlasting life!
Catholic Messenger Update
So far, out of 1700 households, St. Mary’s has
received 255 subscriptions to The Catholic Messenger. If you have not yet subscribed,
you may place your check for $25 (or whatever you can give) in the collection basket
at Mass, or mail it to the church office at 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.
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. We will also have a session on Sunday, February 19th, from 11AM to noon. All sessions will be held 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.
Altar & Rosary Society
St. Mary’s Altar & Rosary Society will hold its regular meeting this Tuesday, February 21st, at 6:30 PM in the parish hall.
First Eucharist Meeting
There will be a meeting for children preparing for First Eucharist and their parents on February 23rd, at 6:30 PM in the parish hall. |
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.
