It was a glorious day, blue skies, white cluster clouds, mild
temperature as many of us—adults, teenagers, and young children—stood
along Poplar Ave. at Goodlett in “a national prayer chain” for an hour
holding Pro-Life signs calling upon God in prayer to help us stop the
horrendous crime of abortion.
I was overwhelmed with joy that nearly 100 cared enough to spend this
hour defending our innocent unborn and I am certain our prayers will not
go unheard, for God hears the cry of the poor and will surely help us
stop this evil.
According to Life Chain organizers, the national pro-life witness saves
pre-born lives and changes receptive hearts. While standing for one hour
in meditation and prayer, participants hold signs that include
Abortion Kills Children, Jesus Forgives and Heals,
Adoption the Loving Option, and
I Regret My Abortion.

St Paul's Annual Wassailing Party, (our church's Christmas Party), was
filled with the "Spirit of Christmas ", which started with music of
Christmas in the background played by Carolyn Maginni and flute soloist,
Emily James, while we gathered together to eat Pot Luck hors d'oeuvre, drink
wassail teas, and play reindeer games ( table trivia). Followed by a
Christmas Story by our own pastor, Fr. Pugh, which we all found very
inspiring for the season we are experiencing (Advent), as well as the season
approaching (Christmas). Then the children came forth individually to sing
their favorite Christmas song!!!
Every child who sings a solo gets a gift from under the tree. Afterwards
they all sing collectively, Christmas Carols, and they all select a gift
from under the tree. Thanks to Cathy Weirich for successfully working with
the children.
Then there was Jeopardy!!! The Jeopardy questions are based on Christmas
facts, movies, songs, events, anything Christmas. At our Wassailing Parties
from years gone by this game has really grown, from pencils and paper at
each table, to the Big Screen, thanks to Anne and Jim White and their whole
family. We actually believe we are contestants on Jeopardy. The Whites also
provided us with Minute-to-Win it games with candy canes. The evening was a
lot of fun for all who attended. There is no hard work when there is so much
fun by all.
Ruth Brooks, Maria Neely, Emillie Michael, and Anne White decorated the
Parish Hall. After looking at the pictures below, you will not want to miss
next December's party.

St. Paul's annual parish picnic and silent auction was attended by many families. The weather was sunny and
pleasant. The event started with the praying of the Living Rosary.
All enjoyed the food, cake walk, bingo, moon bounce, soccer, and the throwing of water
balloons at Fr. Johnnie. The Silent Auction was a big success with the proceeds going to
help defray the expenses of the parish.
Thanks to all those who planned, worked on, contributed to, or
attended the 2014 Parish Picnic. A Very Special Thanks to Ruth Brooks,
who worked so hard to make this year’s picnic great!
Mother Cabrini sends their many thanks to all those who helped with or
donated to the Silent Auction.

Passover is the oldest and most important religious festival in Judaism, commemorating God’s deliverance of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt and his creation of the Israelite people. Each Jewish family comes together at a special meal to remember their ancestors' freedom. In the Christian Bible, this is told in the Book of Exodus. Learn more about the Seder Meal by
clicking here.
Thanks to David and Patricia Mentgen for providing the lamb and Vernon Simoneaux for cooking it; to Larry Hodges for all you do in setting up and music, Emilie and Dan Michael for decorating the tables and providing the wine and parsley, Ann Dotson for taking care of the eggs, Ray and Pat Cuthberson for providing horseradish, Ken and Janice Argroves for the haroset, which is an expensive recipe. Thanks also to the participants including our Pastor Fr. Johnnie, Fr. Herbert, Deacon Terry, and Sarah McKinley.
A special thanks to the children that participated, and those who assisted in serving and stayed to help with clean up. The Seder Meal was a Spiritual experience and huge success for everyone who came and participated. Thanks to all who accepted the invitation to share the event. It could not exist without you. In addition, a special thanks to Ruth Brooks who worked so hard to make the meal a success.
