Last Call for Tickets…. Couples Valentines Dinner!

Whether you are just starting out or have been married 50+ years this is a night for you! Please join us on February 9th 2024 at Holy Family Parish @ 5:30pm for a night of blessings, fellowship and fun.

Ticket: $70.00 / couple Available after Masses Jan 27/28th or from the parish office yet on Monday. Advance Tickets ONLY. Deadline of January 29th so we can inform caterer.

We will start the night with the celebration of a Holy Mass, at 5:30 pm which will include a special marital blessing. Our celebrant will be Fr. Emmanuel Azike! After Mass we will enjoy a delicious catered meal, fellowship and table games in the Lenhard room.

Take time to celebrate and enrich your marriage! Take time to connect to other couples in the parish. As much of a blessing and gift that our children are, this night is to recognize the importance of marriage and focus on the two of you! So we kindly ask that you arrange for your own child care at home.

In Father’s absence…

This Sunday’s Gospel

Mark 1: 21-28 Discussion Questions:

Do you feel you have witnessed the presence of an unclean spirit? If so, what happened?
What does this passage assure us of?
Pray with those you are with, for the courage to silence the voice of evil, especially in our own hearts and minds and to surrender all under the authority of power of Jesus Christ.
