Dear Parishioners,
 
A return to "Ordinary Time..."  The Christmas season is now over, and we enter into a short period of ordinary time on our liturgical calendar.  This is an "interim" period before we begin the season of Lent.  Lent is a bit late this year; Ash Wednesday is February 26th The term ordinary in English most often means something that is not special or distinctive.  The reason it is called ordinary on our liturgical calendar is that this period of time falls outside of any major liturgical seasons.
 
Men's Spirituality Group will meet on SATURDAY, JAN. 18TH at 10 a.m.  All men of the parish are invited.  Coffee and danish will be served.  Our Women's Spirituality Group will also meet on JAN. 18th at 10 a.m.
 
Chase away the January blues!  Mark your calendars for JAZZ HAPPENS BAND, coming to St. Margaret's at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 25th.  Tickets are available after Mass or from our office.  This year they will also be available at the door.


Many thanks. God Bless You,  Fr. Paul J. Alciati
