Happy New Year, St. Clement parishioners & friends!
The Christmas season continues as we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord this weekend and the Baptism of the Lord next weekend.
Announcements
- This weekend there will be a second collection for the retired and infirm priests of our diocese. This collection was taken up at the Christmas Masses, so if you contributed then, thank you! If not, here’s another opportunity.
- Religious education classes and youth group will resume this week.
- Three deserving parish families benefited from donations to the Women’s Guild Christmas Jar. Thanks to all who helped brighten those Christmas celebrations!
St. Clement was well-represented at the opening procession and Mass for the Jubilee Year of Hope this past Sunday afternoon! Check out these photos from deacon candidate Fernando Nevarez, who was featured in the newsletter sent on 20 Dec 2024.
The next pilgrimage will occur on Saturday, 4 Jan 2025, at St. Francis Xavier in Tulsa. The theme is Peace and Unity: Victims of War and End to Violence. Pilgrim passports are available in the foyer at St. Clement. Find out more here.
🕯️ Oremus pro invicem
Let us pray together for these loved ones, all those who have no one to pray for them, and each other:
- Amanda Dentist
- James S
- our catechumens, all those preparing to receive First Holy Communion, and all their catechists, sponsors, and families
- the sick and suffering of our parish & our loved ones and those who love and care for them
- the holy souls in purgatory, all those near death, and all who are grieving
- all those listed in our book of prayer intentions
We invite folks to send names (first only are fine!) to include on a list of people for whom to pray, such as the sick and suffering of our parish. If you’d like to add a name to the prayer list (yours or someone else’s *with their permission), please email that info to Bonnie at music@stcbixby.org.
