DAILY ROSARY Did you know the Rosary is prayed in the church Monday through Friday at 8:15 a.m. and 6 p.m. and on Saturday at 8:45 a.m.? Come join us anytime.
WE DO NEED VOLUNTEERS to help maintain our facilities, especially in the area of church and parish center cleaning. We need YOU! Please email dflanigen@yahoo.com or call 467-8747. Enough volunteers will enable us to have rotating teams.

contact@162.144.95.10. If you have any suggestions to add, contact benanderson@benanderson.us.
THE EUCHARISTIC ADORATION CHAPEL, adjacent to the Parish Center, must continue to be a very important powerhouse of prayer for us and for people in our area. Hours of adoration are on Mondays through Fridays from 9 AM to 10 PM (11 PM on Tuesday and Friday). WE NEED MORE ADORERS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY HOUR IS COVERED. Please consider signing up for an hour or being on the substitute list. See the posters at the church entrances. Contact Marie O’Leary at 467-1982.
“When you look at the Crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then. When you look at the Sacred Host, you understand how much Jesus loves you now.” —Blessed Mother Teresa
CASE TRAINING The Diocese of Rochester requires volunteers who work with children, youth or vulnerable adults to participate in Creating a Safe Environment (CASE) training. If you plan to volunteer for a ministry that involves working with children, youth or vulnerable adults, you will need to take the class on-line from your home computer or attend a training session. Please call or email Kathy Beauchamp at 484-1810 or email lmcommunity3@gmail.com for further instructions.
WHEN YOU COME TO CHURCH, please turn OFF all cell phones, hand-held electronic devices, pagers, watch alarms, etc. ALSO, remember to dress appropriately (neatly and modestly). Unfortunately, in many churches today, people tend to “dress down” for Mass. How can this be??? RESPECT and REVERENCE toward God and neighbor (i.e. charity) should determine how we present ourselves in the House of God. Thank you, in advance, for your courtesy and cooperation.

PRAYING FOR THE SICK AND INFIRM. Happily, someone has come forward and offered to develop a method for listing sick and infirm loved ones in our SKT-LMC bulletin on a weekly basis, so that we may pray for them. At this point, we remember, these persons in need of intercession: Angela De Luca, Susan Lewis and Bill Schleuter and Sharon Mooney.
FOURTH SUNDAY ADULTS SCRIPTURE STUDY
Beginning on January 24 (4th Sunday of this month), and subsequently on every 4th Sunday (schedule permitting), adult learning and sharing sessions will take place, for the purpose of exploring the Gospels which are read at the Latin Mass during the month. Sessions will be held in the Parish Center (upstairs conference room), beginning about 15-20 minutes after the 11:15 Mass ends, and continuing for about 30-45 minutes. Come when you want. Leave when you choose. All are welcome!
WHEN PRAYING FOR OUR FAITHFUL DEPARTED, please remember the soul of Robert Fanelli who entered eternity on December 31. Mr. Fanelli was occasionally at Mass and Coffee Hours in recent months, accompanied by Liza Barzac. Requiescat in pace.
AS THE CHRISTMAS SEASON comes to a liturgical conclusion, we think back to how beautiful—and how busy—these festive days have been. We had a blessed season here at SKT-LMC, made possible by many dedicated members and volunteers: those who cleaned the church and center, those who decorated the church, those who provided music (organist, schola and choir singers), those who served and ushered and lectored and participated in any way, those who donated to the SKT-LMC and to the food cupboard, those who kept prayerful watch in the Adoration Chapel, those who hosted coffee hours…..Have I forgotten anyone? If so, it’s not intentional. In short, we had a wonderful Christmas, thanks be to God and to all of you.
(Father Bonsignore)
COFFEE HOURS, after BOTH Masses, will be hosted NEXT SUNDAY, on January 17.
