The Sanctuary Lamp before the Blessed
Sacrament burns for two weeks for the
special intentions of Jim and Patty Poteet.
Mission Statement We, the faith community of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, devote ourselves to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ and continue his mission to bring all to a knowledge of and a union with the Father through teaching, sharing and living our faith. To this end we will strive: To know and love Christ through his Church, its sacraments, scripture, educational and social life; To recognize, encourage and utilize the unique God-given gifts of all parishioners; To recognize and demonstrate our affection and care for all others through our fellowship and outreach
efforts; To labor in building up our local church with the Bishop of Raleigh and the Conventual Franciscan Friars of
the Immaculate Conception Province. To deepen our bonds with one another and to grow our community through Stewardship efforts.
The flowers before the altar are graciously
offered in memory of Bill Kirkpatrick by Ann
and Maurice Koury.
Stewardship The U.S. bishops’ pastoral on stewardship reinforces today’s reading from 1 Corinthians: “Because its individual members do collectively make up the Body of Christ, that body’s health and well-being are the responsibility of the members — the personal responsibility of each one of us. We all are stewards of the Church.”

Most parishioners realize that their Bishop’s Annual
Appeal gifts support the hungry, the homeless, the frail
and the sick. But your help goes beyond that. Every
parishioner at some point has benefited from the BAA.
Every Catholic school and parish faith formation
program, like the one here in our parish, is helped by
your gift through Diocesan training, support and
consultation. Marriage preparation programs, seminarian
and deacon formation as well as a host of other spiritual
and educational activities exist through God’s grace and
your generosity. Please make a generous gift to the
Bishop’s Annual Appeal.
Congratulations to Emily Bailey for
being selected as the winning entry from the Piedmont
Deanery Catholic Schools Program by the Year of Priests
Education/Formation Sub-Committee for the Poetry and
Essay Contest in the Diocese of Raleigh. To congratulate the
winners of this contest, Bishop Burbidge will present each of
the winners with a framed certificate at a pizza party in their
honor in February. Please join us in congratulating Emily on a
job well done!

THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JANUARY 24, 2010
“New Beginnings Lead To All Things New”
Session Two:
“Dealing with the Realities of Change”
The Discipleship Ministry invites us to
gather to explore the reality of a major
change for our community, building a new
church! This program offers our adult
community the opportunity to look at the
ways in which the Incarnation calls us to continuous change
and growth and how we respond. In our first session, we
gathered together to pray and grow in our understanding of
the radical nature of the Incarnation and how it changed the
world forever! We have enjoyed the wonder and beauty of the
Christmas season and now we are now challenged by the
reality of the Incarnation to change and grow.
This session is a facilitated gathering with presentations
by Fr. Paul, Fr. Bob and parishioners that will focus on
the “who, what and how” of this project.
This program is NOT designed to be a “town hall”
meeting about the building project. There will be general
information offered regarding the plans for the new
church.
The presentations will be followed by group work and
discussion.
If you did not attend the first session, you may still attend
this session.
This session will be around 1.5 hours with a social
following the program. It will be offered twice for your
convenience:
January 31 @ 3:00pm and February 3 @ 7:00 pm
(in the Koury Center)
Registration forms will be available in the bulletin, the
vestibule of church, and the parish office this coming
week. Contact Ann Imrick at [email protected] or
229-5228 if you have questions.
