January 26, 2015, beginning at 6:00 PM at
SS. Mary & Hyacinth Parish Center, 819 3rd Avenue, Antigo,

“Protecting God’s Children” program is designed to instruct
adults of the Church that to protect children, one must have
continuous awareness and vigilance. This awareness session
makes trainees understand the signs of child sexual abuse, the
methods and means by which offenders commit abuse, and five
empowerment steps one can use to prevent child sexual abuse.
Preregistration is required, and if you plan on attending, log
on to www.virtus.org and click “registration” to begin. If
you do not have online access, but are interested in signing up,

JANUARY 18, 2015
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
The Christmas season has come to a close.
Our worship spaces are looking a bit bare after
the decorations have been taken down. The
touch of red reminds us of a season of joy and hope that
lasts throughout the year.
Thank you for all the prayers, cards, gifts and gift cards. The
bathroom scale reflects the generosity of the goodies (cookies,
candies, fruit and meat) that came to the rectory over the
Christmas season. I even received a few items to wash down
all the tasty morsels. Know that each item is appreciated.
It was a great joy going through the cards and reading your
notes. Thank you.
I extend a Thank You to all who helped make our liturgies
sacred and uplifting moments of prayer and gathering.
Thank You to Fr. Worman and Fr. Charlie who led us in
prayer. Thanks to the musicians and choirs. Thanks to
the decorators and those who took down the decorations.
Thanks to the ministers, ushers, greeters, and servers who
help make the liturgy run smoothly and create an atmosphere
of hospitality and welcome.
Finally, Thank You to all who are praying for our parishes
each day. Without those prayers each day, we would not be
able to do the work and outreach of Jesus our Lord.
May we continue to make a joyful noise to praise our God
and May God bless and guide us.
Peace,
Fr. Dave
RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (R.C.I.A.)

the R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is something
you might consider joining. We will gather together to learn
about the basics of faith and the Catholic Religion. The process
will culminate with Confirmation and being received into full
communions at the Easter Vigil. Our organizational gathering
will be Saturday, January 24th at 1:00pm at St. John. If you are
unable to attend please leave your name and number at the parish
