Calling all Czech Sausage Dinner aficionados! Our first planning meeting for this year's Czech Sausage Dinner will be on Thursday, January 20, at 6 p.m. in the parish hall. Any parishioners who are interested in helping to plan the event are welcome to join.

St. Joseph, defender of life, pray for us! is the theme of the annual Respect Life Mass and Walk on Saturday, January 22. Activities begin with a Diocesan Respect Life Mass at 10 a.m. at St. Mary's Cathedral, 1200 South Washington, celebrated by priests of the Diocese of Amarillo. Following Mass, the Walk for Life will begin with prayer and a procession to 15th and Taylor, where the Rosary for Life, Marriage and Family will be prayed at Sanborn Park

The next Reborn session is scheduled for Tuesday, January 25, at 7 p.m. in the parish hall. This session is for those who are planning to have a son or daughter baptized in the next few months and those who have been invited to serve as a godparent.
