Catholic Schools Week: This year the motto for Catholic Schools Week is "Faith. Academics. Service." We kick off CSW on Sunday, January 29 with a Students' Mass at 9:00am in St. William Church. Following Mass there is an Open House in the school from 10:00am to 12noon. Invite your friends and neighbors to come by and visit the school! This also starts our registration for the next school year. All registration information can be picked up at that time. There is also registration information on our "forms to download" page of the school website. Blessing of Throats: A long tradition in the Church has been to bless the throats of the faithful on or near the feast of St. Blaise. Following the Masses next weekend (February 4 & 5), Father will bless the throats of those who come forward. Throats will also be blessed after the 8:15 All-School Mass on Friday, February 3.

Bring your sorrows and joys, your cares and concerns to Jesus, and trust in Him! Baby Bottle Campaign Concludes: This is the weekend to return all baby bottles. There are a few boxes in the back of church designated "Baby Bottle Returns." If you miss today's turn-in date, you can take the bottle directly to the Pregnancy Center West or to the Parish Center.
