How soon after birth should a baby be presented for the Sacrament of Baptism? The Catechism of the Catholic Church says “as soon as possible after birth”. In recent times parents have been waiting 6 months to a year. When your child is born your child’s material needs are immediate; food, clothes, warmth, shelter and care. Are not the child’s spiritual needs just as important! Through Baptism Original sin is taken away and the beautiful life of God, the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit (Sanctifying Grace) can come to dwell in your newly born child. Why do parents wait so long to do this? It should be as the Church says as soon as possible after birth. Bible Study Meeting nights have changed. The Bible study group will now meet on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 7:00PM in the school with John Regan. Next Meetings are on Wednesdays, January 14 and 28, 2015. Men of St. Joseph Join us and pray with us!

Second Collection at all Masses on Sat/Sun, January 17/18, is for the Catholic University of America Thank you for your generous support Annual Collection IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO GIVE! The Annual Collection started in October and is at 86% of its $90,000 goal. I can’t emphasize enough how important this collection is for the viability and future of our parish. As it was resolved last year when we had our increased giving campaign, we can no longer use our operating funds for necessary capital improvement projects because it sets the stage for deficit spending. Those who have given so far have given generously and sacrificially because St. Joan’s Parish is an important part of their lives. Our parish buildings have to be kept in good repair if we are going to have a place to meet, pray and worship. Please, if you have not given yet to the Annual Collection, decide on a gift today and insure the future of your parish.
