Bulletin Article: January 9

Merry Christmas!


Today we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord which brings about the conclusion of the Christmas season. We will now enter back into Ordinary Time until we come to observe Ash Wednesday and the sacred season of Lent on March 2, 2022.


Please remember that we have now entered into the parish stage of the Synod. Our parish has been tasked with preparing a one page document which will be submitted to the Diocese of Knoxville at the start of March. I ask that you attend one of our listening sessions: January 10 at 6:30pm (Zoom), January 15 at 9:30am (parish gym), and January 16 following Mass in Spanish (Spanish). I also invite the ministries of our parish to hold their own listening sessions among members of their ministry and submitting up to one page by February 15 to the parish office or a member of our Synod team.


If you have not already done so I ask that you please fill out the Synod survey.I also ask that you continue to pray the Synod prayer at least until the end of February when we conclude the parish portion of the Synod.


In Christ,

Fr. Dustin Collins
