2010 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL
(This can be found on the ACA website
www.annualcatholicappeal.com)

2010 Annual Catholic Appeal Begins
"…they left everything and followed Him."
(Luke 5:11)

Many of our parishioners either have or soon will receive a mailing from Cardinal George. He will ask that you make a pledge to the 2010 Annual Catholic Appeal.

The Annual Catholic Appeal is the largest philanthropic source of financial support for ALL of the Catholic schools in the Archdiocese. In addition, it funds services that are of great help to the ministries here in our parish.

This year, the theme of the Appeal is, "…they left everything and followed Him." This familiar phrase from the story of the Apostles walking away from their livelihoods and their worldly possessions to follow Jesus is a familiar one. But, how often do we reflect on their example as it applies to our lives. At the core of discipleship is the practice of stewardship. Stewardship is the recognition that all that we have is a gift from God and we are obligated to return a significant portion of our gifts to assist in his work. Our gifts are to be given in gratitude for what God has given us. A gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal helps to provide education, services, and ministry to thousands within and outside of our Archdiocese.

Also, when our parish reaches its goal, of pledges, 100% of the additional funds received will be returned to us for use in our parish.

Please prayerfully consider a pledge to the 2010 Annual Catholic Appeal.

WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY - JANUARY 18

The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity begins tomorrow, Monday, January 18th. Let us join other churches in our area as we remember the 2010 theme, "You are Witnesses of these Things" (Luke 24:48).

Prayer for Christian Unity
 Dear Lord,
Now more than ever,
your church is fragmented throughout the world.
In our search for you
we have divided ourselves
rather than seeking you
as one united people on our pilgrim way.
Help all those who call upon your name
to show your light to the world as one family,
one holy nation,
one royal priesthood,
and united as one, holy, catholic and apostolic church.
Amen.

ANNUAL ALL-TEEN,

All-Night Ski/Snowboard Trip

After a year hiatus, OLW is joining back in the Archdiocesan All Night Ski/Snowboard Trip at Chestnut Mountain in Galena. A full page flier appears in this bulletin. Please register preferably by this Tuesday. A full packet and permission form is online. All high school age teens are welcome.

Ski Trip is Friday night February 5th to Saturday morning February 6th. We should be back by 8:30 am, but are still working on exact departure place (hopefully Wayside) and meeting time (probably around 7 pm--give or take). Cost including transportation, lift ticket, optional lesson, and rental equipment is $86.00. Without rental, $73.00. Pure unadulterated fun!!!

TEEN MISSION TRIP
The first Mission Trip gathering is tonight (Sun), Jan. 17th from 7:30-9 p.m. in the Youth Room (double duty for CORE). Wait list teens are asked to attend as well. Great introduction night. Waiting List will close tonight.

KAIROS: IT'S COMING!
High School Juniors and Seniors, isn't it time to get away from all the beautiful chaos of time. Time to get a jump start and examine what's important to you. Time to laugh your butt off. If the answer is yes, then Kairos is right for you. K9 will take place over President's Weekend, February 12-15th. Both a Registration brochure and Permission form are online. Please register this week for this amazing experience. It may be one of the best weekends of your high school life.

CORE
Thanks for a great meeting last week. It was good to be back together. See you tonight at 5:00 pm. For those of you who are going on the Mission Trip, do not worry, you'll have plenty of time to run out and get food before the Mission Trip meeting at 7:30 pm.

PEER MINISTRY
Loved, loved, loved the "Living Billboards" last week, Surely an exercise in the weird and wonderful. Next week we'll continue with the themes from last week, yet have more time for small group discussion.

Keep on your radar the January 31st PM Social at 7 pm. It should be a blast. The Socials so far this year have been incredible. Great job CORE!
