| The Annual Catholic Appeal for 2022 has closed. Thank you to all that contributed to the Appeal this last year. Our total collected was $67,518.00. Families in our parish number 1,884 and only 221 pledges received for 2022. Please consider pledges in the new campaign year. Thank you again for your participation. |
FATHER CHIKE: Most of us will be celebrating with our families in one way or another this Christmas season. Father Chike’s family lives about 7200 miles away from Albuquerque. Please take time this month to thank him for his sacrifice for us, that we may be able to celebrate the Mass on a regular basis and to wish him a very merry Christmas. His call to mission is certainly a blessing to our community. He will be leaving for a visit to his family on 2 January. We have already scheduled Fr Juan, Fr Nathan and Fr Carney to do all of the weekend Masses until Fr Chike returns. May he have a safe and blessed trip!
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS: The Knights of Columbus is an international Order of Catholic men who are called to lead with faith, protect our families, serve others and defend values in a busy challenging world. Our local council here at Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary will be holding a membership drive at all Masses the weekend of January 29th. Whether you become an individual member or a member of our council you will find that the Knights of Columbus membership brings Catholic men together in a powerful way. If you would like to join today simply go to KofC/joinus and enter our council #9928 for local information, or just sign up today by seeing one of our knights in the back of the Church.
Breakfast: The Knights of Columbus is holding a breakfast January 29th in the Parish Hall. Go over and mingle with your friends and eat a good meal! The menu is huevos rancheros and a drink all for $7.00. So come out and eat and let the Knights of Columbus cook for you.
CONFESSIONS: Individual confessions are in the church at 3PM on Saturdays. Simply come in the front
door and join the line. All are welcome.
ADORATION: Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be held at 5:00 p.m. every First Friday in the St. Anne Chapel. The notice will be posted on the front page of the bulletin from now on.
PRIVATE ADORATION AND PRAYER: For private adoration and prayer at St. Anne’s Chapel, please come to the Parish Office and we will give you access to the Chapel.
HOLY COMMUNION FOR THE HOMEBOUND: Please remember that Holy Communion at home is ONLY for the sick and the homebound brethren, and NOT for the family members!
