Starting June 2022, the bishops of the United States had called for all dioceses to begin a three-year plan to revive and foster Eucharistic devotion in dioceses, parishes, and the hearts of the faithful. 2022 was the Year of the Diocese. 2023 is the Year of the Parish.  Please unite together in prayer on February 3^rd from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM at Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction. The first hour will be silent prayer. During the second hour, a Rosary will be prayed for vocations, and the hour will end with Benediction. Please Join Us!

Please join us to pray the Holy Rosary at 4:20 PM on Saturday, February 4th.

If you ever thought you might like to learn to quilt, this year's Guild quilt is one to learn on.  One would expect a quilt made of two variations of the snowball pattern to have lots of circular quilting.  However, most of this work is straight lines, and that is much easier.  We all had to learn, so don't be intimidated.  Just come Tuesday mornings, 10:00 to 12:00 in the lower level of the church. Questions?  Call Dolores Francis 812/822-1321

BIBLE OR CATECHISM IN A YEAR: Several parishioners have told me they are following along with Fr. Mike Schmitz in The Bible in a Year or The Catechism in a Year podcasts.  I am encouraged to hear that.  It’s not too late, you can always jump in starting with Day 1.  Visit www.ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear or www.ascensionpress.com/ciy.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A PRACTICING CATHOLIC?  Fr. Mike Schmitz shares the Church’s thoughts as well as his own in this seven-minute video which answers this question.  It’s quite thought provoking, and it has a surprise ending.  I encourage you to watch it by using this link:

Do you know of anyone interested in learning more about the Catholic Church, or maybe you would like to improve your knowledge? 
Our Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) classes will be on Sundays after the 10:45 Mass & will be held in the PLC house.  All are welcome to attend all or any ones that are of interest to you (Go to the Parish Calendar for class schedule & topic details).  We will begin with a simple meal, have a lesson and time for discussion.  There is no cost.  Join us!  

For the upcoming Season of Lent, please consider offering one hour of your time to pray in front of the Bloomington Planned Parenthood for an end to abortion. There are 480 hours available. If 120 participants from each of the Bloomington parishes sign up for only one hour of silent prayer, and the remainder of the parishes in the Bloomington Deanery sign up for 120 hours, we will have all of the hours covered. This kind of participation may be all it takes to move God to finally put an end to abortion in Indiana.  50 years of legal abortion in Indiana alone has violently ended the lives of more than 500,000 unborn children.
  
You may sign up and learn more at 40daysforlife/Bloomington.
