CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK BEGINS TODAY

Today marks the beginning of Catholic Schools Week and All Saints Parish is proud to have had a Catholic School associated with our parish for over 55 years! The theme for this year’s celebration is “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.” Parishioners and community members are encouraged to visit us this week and see what makes us great! As part of our celebration, All Saints School graduate and community member, Tom Wall, Jr. will share with students, staff and community members what inspired him to create his children’s book, Aquinas Kids: A Collection of Catholic Prayers. This will take place on Friday, January 30 at 10:30am in the Activity Center in school.

SECOND COLLECTION TO SUPPORT ALL SAINTS SCHOOL

All parishes in the Circles of Faith will be taking a second collection this weekend for All Saints Catholic Grade School. We are fortunate to have this Catholic educa-tion option available within our linkages.

EMCEE ANNOUNCED FOR FUN NIGHT

We are excited to welcome back Bill Jartz, news anchor for WBAY-TV 2, to emcee the Fun Night live auction on Saturday, February 7. His lively personality and wit will bring plenty of entertainment for the evening. An open invitation to the “Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight” is extended to everyone in the Circle of Faith and beyond. The evening begins at 5pm with an all you can eat grilled pork chop dinner, serving until 7:30. Following is a silent auction, multiple games of chance, a raffle and refreshments. Admission to the Fun Night is by advance ticket purchase only, and only a limited number are sold. Get yours this weekend after Mass in the church entrance for $15 each, or call the parish office at 863-2585.

YEAR OF PRAYER HOLY HOURS

All parishes in the Diocese of Green Bay are conducting monthly Holy Hours of Prayer in 2015. These Eucharistic Holy Hours carry out the expectations of Bishop Ricken from his pastoral letter, “Teach My People to Pray.” The hour consists of Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, guided prayer, readings, reflection time, intercessions and song. The theme for January is the Holy Family, and for February is Perseverance. Young and old alike are encouraged to attend either their parish holy hour, or one in a neighboring parish that better fits their schedule.

STEWARDSHIP MESSAGE

There is a certain urgency in today's Gospel as Jesus calls His first disciples—Andrew and Simon, James and John. Each one follows Jesus immediately, unhesitatingly abandoning nets and boats. To what is Jesus calling me—at this moment, in these circumstances? What will I need to abandon in order to follow Him?

“Not how much of my money will I give to God, but how much of God’s money will I keep for myself.” ~John Wesley

REPORTING SEXUAL ABUSE

If you know of an incident of sexual abuse of a person who is now under the age of 18 by a priest, deacon, employee or volunteer, please immediately call the civil authorities and then the diocese. If the person was abused as a minor but is now an adult, please call Jayne Stefanic, Diocesan Assistance Coordinator, at 920-272-8174, or toll free at 1-877-270-8184.
