I hope everyone enjoyed a Blessed Thanksgiving and now we can look forward to Christmas. Note, Bishop Battersby, with Fr. Greg, will be celebrating the 4:00 pm Mass on Christmas Eve. There are many opportunities, during the holidays, to invite your family members to attend Mass with you and enjoy the beautiful decorations in our most stunning church. Mark your calendar for Epiphany’s open house at each of the churches in our Family of Parishes. Besides St. Alphonsus-St. Clement, St. Barbara St. Kateri and St. Maria Goretti, will all keep the doors open for you until 3:00 pm to enjoy the Christmas decorations adorning all our churches.

St. Alphonsus Library
A story about the books from our library was recently featured on WDIV Ch. 4's website. Click HERE to read the story.
On October 22 the books from the St. Alphonsus library were unloaded at their final destination at the village of Ogoni in Nigeria. The books were discovered last October in a storage room in the activities building of the school, along with quite a few textbooks that were left behind by the charter school. It was estimated that there were over 200 boxes containing over 9,000 books. A new home for the books was sought before they were lost in the demolition of the school buildings. Fr. Anthony Kote-Witah, one of the Capuchin priests who had been assisting at our Sunday Masses was collecting book donations to establish a library at an orphanage he is building in his homeland in Nigeria. Thanks go out to members of the parish, alumni and Knights of Columbus for their help moving the books and loading them for shipment.
