Announcements:

Confessions will be heard on Sunday mornings from 9:15-9:45am and by appointment. All faithful are encouraged to come to the Sacrament every 8 weeks, on average, to help maintain spiritual health. This is especially for those who frequently “with Faith and with Love come forward” to receive the Body and Blood of Christ!

Home Blessings have begun and will continue until Saturday 1 March. Please either fill out a form or see Father as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. Forms are available on the information table in the parish hall. See the guide below as to preparing your home for the Priest’s arrival.

A Capital Improvements committee is being established to assist the parish Council by obtaining bids from contractors or companies for major improvement projects. The committee members will request bids or estimates, review them, and recommend the best choice to the Council based on their research. In addition, the committee will also recommend a schedule of future major improvements to the Council. Please talk to Rose Plowchin for further information.

Mark your calendar: The Annual Parish Meeting will take place on Sunday 24 Feb (snow date 9 March) 2008. All members of the parish family who are in good sacramental and financial good standing are asked to attend.

Make summer plans now: our deanery week at Camp Nazareth will be 20-26 July 2008. Camp Forms and other information will be distributed as soon as it becomes available.

When purchasing items from the bookstore, please do not leave money on the counter. Please hand it to Father or Lois Erhard. Thank You.

Order forms for the annual “Super Bowl Sub Sale” are now being distributed. Forms need to be handed into the Mike or Christine Fallon by 26 January. $1.00 of each sub sold will go to the IOCC “Super Bowl of Caring”

Gertrude Hawk Candy orders for the Easter season are now available. Forms must be returned to either Father or Paňi no later than Sunday 17! (remember, the West has their Easter date of 23 March).

Do you miss being able to be at Divine Liturgy when you are sick at home and cannot make it to church? St. Nicholas of Myra Orthodox Church on 10^th St. in Manhattan has a solution. A toll-free number is available to be able to listen to the Liturgy LIVE over the phone every Sunday morning at 10am. Simply call 1-800-910-3597. Enter code (2546685#) and state your name. The phone will mute so that you can hear them but they cannot hear you.

Our HROC Choir had been invited to participate in the annual observance of the "Week of Prayer for Christian Unity." The prayer service will be held on Sunday, January 27th, at 3PM at Holy Cross Church, 4900 Strathmore Ave., Garrett Park. We ask as many of our Choir members as possible to be in attendance. Any new voices are also welcome. For details, please see Sheila. (The theme of this year’s service is “Pray without ceasing.”)
