Dear Brothers and Sisters, As we begin our Stewardship Month, we have the joy over the next couple weeks of making a few big announcements. This week, I’d like to focus on one of those in particular: a new member of our parish staff. Allow me to introduce Sister Amanda Magdalena Davis, of the Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary. She comes to us from Florida, where she has been working in a variety of roles with her order since entering religious life in 2020. Along with two other sisters from her order serving in other Birmingham-area parishes, she will be arriving in town in about two weeks. Our parish has a long history of women religious serving in pastoral roles, and it’s truly a joy to be able to carry along that tradition. Sister Amanda Magdalena will be joining us as a Pastoral Associate, with a special focus on developing and forming laypeople in ministry. She has a particular background in youth and campus ministries, and she is also bilingual. I think she’s going to be a great fit at our parish and make a tremendous difference in many lives! I look forward to us giving Sister Amanda Magdalena a proper welcome once she and the other sisters have had a chance to get settled. Please join me in offering many prayers for her smooth transition into our parish over the next few weeks, through the intercession of Our Lady and our patron St. Thomas. God bless,

Father Jantz

Ladies Wednesday Bible Study

The Ladies Morning Scripture Study are meeting on Wednesday’s at 10:00 AM in the St. Joseph’s Room with The Eucharist in Scripture. This study will discover God’s plan as it is expressed through the Bible and the Mass. This six-lesson study, presented by Dr. Scott Hahn, will unlock the meaning of covenant, sacrifice, and sacrament as understood in the Bible, from Genesis through Revelation. The Eucharist in Scripture examines the biblical foundations of the Eucharist and explores the Church’s liturgy as the original context for the books of the Bible. All ladies are welcome to attend. Call Debbie at 205-616-0920 if you have any questions

Wednesday Night Scripture Study

We are in our second year of the National Eucharistic Revival. This second phase will foster Eucharistic devotion at the parish level, strengthening our liturgical life through faithful celebration of the Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and movements of the Holy Spirit. With this in mind, the Wednesday Night Scripture Study Group will explore Eucharist: Discovering the Mass in the Bible Acclaimed author and teacher Dr. Brant Pitre digs down to the biblical roots of the Eucharist, through its foreshadowing in the miraculous events of the Old Testament, the Gospels, and Apostolic teaching. We'll discover firsthand how Christ's Body and Blood are an integral and wondrous part of God's plan for our salvation. We meet each Wednesday at 7:00 PM in the St. Joseph’s room. All are invited to attend. Questions? Call Bill or Deb at 205-515-1927.
