Parish Calendar

Examination of Conscience Based on the Ten Commandments.
I am the Lord your God: you shall not have strange Gods before me.
Have I treated people, events, or things as more important than God?
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
Have my words, actively or passively, put down God, the Church, or people?
Remember to keep holy the Lord’s Day.
Do I go to Mass every Sunday (or Saturday Vigil) and on Holy Days of Obligation (Jan. 1; the Ascension; Aug. 15; Nov. 1; Dec. 8; Dec. 25)? Do I avoid, when possible, work that impedes worship to God, joy for the Lord’s Day, and proper relaxation of mind and body? Do I look for ways to spend time with family or in service on Sunday?
Honor your father and your mother.
Do I show my parents due respect? Do I seek to maintain good communication with my parents where possible? Do I criticize them for lacking skills I think they should have?
You shall not kill.
Have I harmed another through physical, verbal, or emotional means, including gossip or manipulation of any kind?
You shall not commit adultery.
Have I respected the physical and sexual dignity of others and of myself?
You shall not steal.
Have I taken or wasted time or resources that belonged to another?
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Have I gossiped, told lies, or embellished stories at the expense of another?
You shall not covet your neighbor’s spouse.
Have I honored my spouse with my full affection and exclusive love?
You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.
Am I content with my own means and needs, or do I compare myself to others unnecessarily?

We would like to meet the first Tuesday of every month following the 1730 Mass at St. Joseph’s Church in Rice Lake for 1.5-2 hours (no later than 2030):

1. January 5^th
2. February 2^nd
3. March 2^nd
4. April 6^th
5. May 4^th
6. June 1^st
7. July 6^th
8. August 3^rd
9. September 7^th
10. October 5^th
11. November 2^nd
12. December 7^th

We will start on January 5^th with the guidelines and expectations of those attending.  I would anticipate that they would start reading on 1/1/2021 so that when we meet on 1/5/21 they will have the first 5 days read and we can go over what the study sessions will be like. 

This will be open to all in the 4 parish cluster, but they have to have their own materials.  We will meet in person in the church basement where social distancing and clean up will be observed along with CDC guidelines for gathering.  We would ask those who have been exposed to the COVID virus observe quarantine guidelines or those who do not feel well to not attend in person.

Skye and I would like to have a live feed via Facebook  or Zoom for those who would rather participate from home.   We will have more details about that closer to time of the first meeting.

Any one who is interested can email me, Facebook Message me or text me (cell phone 910-987-2742).

Would you be willing to run this in the church bulletin?

Your Sister in Christ,

Christine Knight
