Thank you to everyone who made Christmas at our parish a beautiful and prayerful celebration. And a special thank you to everyone who invited someone, whether or not they came. You planted a seed; the Lord will make it grow. 

Remember that we’re adding a new Mass time starting next weekend. We’ll have an additional Mass at 

8:30 am at SSP through Easter on April 5. Hopefully this experiment will help us understand what Mass times will best serve our parish vision: “Become a thriving parish of growing disciples of Jesus Christ in south Saint Louis.” 

This Thursday, New Years Day, is a Holy Day of Obligation, our celebration of Mary, the Mother of God. You can join us at 8 am at IHM or noon at SJB on January 1. Or you can be wild and crazy like me and bring in the new year praying with our 11:55 pm Mass at SSP on December 31, 2024. God bless you!
