 Candlemas, celebrated on February 2, is a Christian feast day (the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord) marking the 40th day after Jesus's birth, when Mary and Joseph presented him at the Temple, fulfilling Jewish law and encountering the prophet Simeon. It signifies the end of the Christmas season and is known for the blessing of candles, symbolizing Christ as the "Light of the World," with traditions including candle processions, bringing candles home for blessings, and weather omens, sometimes linked to Groundhog Day.

We are searching for our next leader to continue the beautiful tradition of our Senior Citizens Mass & Luncheon. This special gathering brings together our retired and elderly parishioners for a meaningful day filled with prayer, fellowship, and joy.

The luncheon offers a wonderful opportunity to get out of the house, mingle with friends, share stories, laughter, joys, and even a few aches and pains. Life moves quickly, and this event allows us to slow down, connect with one another, and enjoy a beautiful Mass followed by good food and great company. The event may be held monthly or quarterly, whichever works best for the team involved.

We are looking for a dedicated and caring individual who is willing to take the reins and work alongside a group of helpful volunteers to make this event happen. If you are interested or would like more information, please call the church office.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Carolyn Krawietz for her past leadership. Carolyn truly embraced this role and consistently created a fun and welcoming experience for everyone. As she steps down, let us honor her efforts by continuing this cherished tradition. 

**Thank you, Carolyn. God bless you. We know you will still be there to help.**

Please us the envelope inside your donation box and submit the amount of $20 for the 2026 dues. Thank You.

The 2026 Catholic Daughters membership dues of $25.00 are now due. Payments may be submitted at the meeting, placed in the collection basket at any weekend Mass (clearly marked “CDA Dues”), or mailed to the address below:

Sara Dallmeyer
P.O. Box 1262
Poth, TX 78147

Periodically, parishioners ask what the church may need and kindly offer to contribute toward upcoming projects. We currently have several improvements planned, and for anyone who feels called to donate, please know that your generosity is truly appreciated. We continue to work diligently to enhance the beauty of our church and to repair areas that need attention.

Current projects include:

• Restoring the statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, as well as the Blessed Virgin Mary statue in the grotto facing FM 541
• Replacing damaged baseboards throughout the church
• 
  

We would like to extend this invitation to anyone interested in giving of their time, talent, or financial support. Everyone’s generosity throughout the year does not go unnoticed, and we are deeply grateful for all you do for our parish community.

God Bless!
