COMMUNITY NEWS FOR january 26

Dear Friends,

At the time of writing this, I am awaiting the Great Blizzard that we have been promised. Also, I am trying to get ahead of any power outages that hopefully will not occur to get my weekly epistle out to all of you holy ones. At this stage there is little to report other than I hope you all fared well during the Artic Vortex that swept through here during the week.

Bible study will be back up and running this coming week, all going well – so, keep an eye on the calendar at the bottom of the homepage on the parish website for any updates or schedule changes.

Last Sunday, I asked a little one (maybe two or three years old) if she was going to build a snowman – she is still looking at me! I don’t think she knew what snow was. Then, I thought maybe it was because I mentioned a ‘snowman,’ so I asked her if she would build a ‘snowwoman’ – her puzzled look was priceless!  Whatever you all did, I hope you found some joy in what happened to us weatherwise.

The Second Collection this weekend is to support the Bishops’ Fund for Latin America.

Looking forward to our usual ‘winter weather’ for these here parts.

Fr. Niall

Sign-up for St. Catherine’s Dinner Group:

St. Catherine’s Dinner Group invites adult couples comprised of any two people, whether single, married, relatives, friends or those otherwise defying definition, to enjoy the company of other members of St. Catherine’s community.  Each dinner group consists of four randomly selected couples that meet at each other’s homes (or other sites selected by the host) four times during the year – once as hosts and three times as guests to the others.  St. Catherine’s Dinner Group is a wonderful way to be involved with our community and get to know fellow parishioners on a more personal basis.

If you are interested in joining, or rejoining, or would like more information about the Dinner Group, please call John Fairchild (281-467-1621) or Miriam Fairchild (832-618-7848) or e-mail John at john@aestimo.com by January 30, 2025.  A wine and appetizers social will be held at John and Miriam Fairchild’s home (11403 Pecan Creek Drive) at 5:30 p.m. on the evening of Saturday, February 1, 2025, for all new and returning participants.  We will reveal the new groups during the social.
