OMPH SANCTUARY CANDLE: For God’s help with the pandemic by Rita Mawhiney

SANCTUARY CANDLE FOR BOTH SAINT PATRICK’S AND OMPH: Each week we invite you to light the sanctuary lamp in memory of a loved one or for a special intention. The cost is $20.00 and you may drop the donation off at the rectory during office hours or place it in the collection with the information enclosed.

LOCK-DOWN: Please note that St. Pat’s and OMPH will be closed until at least Saturday, February 13th. For more information regarding the lock down, please check our Facebook page. The 11AM Mass on Sundays and the weekday Masses will be live-streamed on our Facebook page and then available to watch later on both Facebook and Youtube. Our Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/OMPH.NL/

OFFICE HOURS: Please note that the office will be closed to the public until the lock-down is over. Anita will be in the office on Wednesdays to answer phones, emails, etc...

2021 SUNDAY OFFERING ENVELOPES are available in the Parish hall. If you would like to pick your envelopes up, please ring the door bell on Wednesdays and Anita will get them for you.

SUNDAY OFFERINGS: At a time like this it can be uncomfortable to talk about giving. Our primary concern is the health and well-being of our parishioners. However, these difficult circumstances show just how important the offertory is to the life of our parishes. The reality is that our parishes rely on the support of our parishioners to operate - parish salaries and ongoing costs (heating, electricity, etc...) are funded through the generosity of parishioners. It will be a challenge for a parish to maintain operations without the Sunday offertory collection.
There are two ways that a parishioner can continue to support our parishes at this time:
∙ MAIL your regular Sunday offertory contribution to the parish.
OMPH - Box 818 New Liskeard, ON P0J 1P0
St. Patrick’s Parish - Box 293 Cobalt, ON P0J 1C0
∙ E-TRANSFERS: The Parish is now able to accept your Sunday offering via e-transfer. For those who wish to donate to the Parish by this manner, use the email “omphoffice@gmail.com” and the security / password “OMPH81”.

RECEIVE THE BULLETIN BY EMAIL: To receive the bulletin by email, simply send a quick email request to omphoffice@gmail.com.

MESSAGE TO ALL OMPH CWL MEMBERS: Please use the green offertory envelope (which can be found in your box of envelopes) to remit your CWL 2021 Membership dues of $25.00. Thank you. Memberships may also be mailed to Audrey Shelton at 825462 Sawmill Road, New Liskeard, ON P0J 1P0.
REGISTRATION FOR JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN: All of the Northeastern Catholic District School Board’s students and staff would like to wish you and your family all of the wonders and blessings of the Christmas Season. Registration will be open all of January by going online to their website at www.ncdsb.on.ca and clicking the “Online Registration Request” button (located on the front page). Catholic education makes the difference!

INCOME TAX RECEIPTS will be mailed out this year. If you do not receive yours by February 1, 2021, please call the office.

HOW TO MAKE A SPIRITUAL COMMUNION: 1) Make the Sign of the Cross, 2) recite the Creed, 3) recite the Our Father, 4) recite 3 Hail Mary, and 4) say the prayer of St. Alphonsus Liguori and 5) recite 3 Glory Be.

Prayer of St. Alphonsus Liguori: My Jesus, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I long for you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though you have already come, I embrace you and unite myself entirely to you; never permit me to be separated from you. Amen
