be a cross between our weekly bulletin and the bi-monthly parish newsletter, Spirit of St. Louis. The newsletter is being phased out and the weekly bulletin will be picking up the in-depth articles that are printed in the newsletter now. At least once a month, extra pages will be added that will include Prayers for the Sick/Deceased, more timely lists of those receiving sacraments or reserving candles, and other regular features that you see in the weekly bulletin. Thank you for your patience as we consolidate these two publications into a more meaningful form of communication for our parishioners.

Continue sending your articles, photos and advertisements for upcoming events to bulletin@st-louis.org TUESDAY, 6:00 P.M. MASS has been postponed until further notice. We invite you to

attend the 12 Noon Mass on Tuesdays or the 6:00 p.m. Thursday Spanish Mass weekly.

WORLD DAY OF THE SICK is February 11th. In observance of that, the Sacrament

of the Anointing of the Sick will be offered during 7:00pm Vespers that Sunday, here at St. Louis. Those who are seriously ill and in need of the sacrament are invited to receive it at that time. The annual diocesan White Mass for the sick and for health care professionals will be celebrated by Bishop Daniel Garcia at 6:00pm on Thursday, February 8th at St. Albert the Great Parish. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be offered at this Mass for those who are seriously ill and in need of the sacrament.

is a day where our nation turns its attention to a football game. Millions are spent on food, beverages, advertising and publicity is huge. Our hope is that on Super Bowl Sunday people's attention can also be turned to caring for those in need. St. Louis Food Pantry, helps the hungry and the homeless. On February 3rd and 4th, at the end of the services, representatives from the Food Pantry will be at the doors holding soup pots and we want everyone to drop in their loose change or the cost of a meal. Hopefully, this will inspire everyone to help others, not just on Super Bowl Sunday, but as a part of their lives.

THE BASIC TEACHINGS OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH serves as the first step in

basic adult formation for all ministry groups that seek evangelization and catechetical certification. It is a general introduction to the theological principles found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It includes Introduction to the Sacred Scriptures; The Creed; Liturgy and Sacraments; Christian Morality; Prayer and Spirituality. Each of the five segments requires 6 hours of instruction, distributed in 3 classes of 2 hours.

The total duration of the course is 30 hours. Students must complete all five classes in order to receive a certificate of completion. If you are not interested in taking classes for accreditation, you may choose the topics that interest you and attend only those classes. Contact Tom Carani at tom.carani@st-louis.org for questions on English classes.
