JUDE CATHOLIC CHURCH CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE FEBRUARY 15, 2015 SPIRITUAL LIFE PARISH LIFE SACRISTAN MEETING: NEW DATE AND LOCATION As you arrive for Mass, the altar breads, water, and wine are there in the inner lobby; chalices can be seen on the credence table to the left of the altar. After Mass, as you take a few minutes to talk to friends or get a hug from Fr. Charlie, the “altar dishes” (sacred vessels) are cleared away. Setting up for each Mass and cleaning up afterwards are not difficult jobs, but our priest-celebrants or deacons must do it—unless someone helps. This “helper,” whom you may never see, is a Sacristan. If you can devote a few minutes to this ministry before and after Mass, or if you are a Sacristan now, please come to the Parish Life Center on Thursday evening, February 26, at 7pm. Questions: contact Bill Laudeman at 877-8025 or [email protected]. MARDI GRAS POTLUCK & FR.

PARISH LIFE THE GOSPEL OF JOHN AT OUR LADY OF THE MOUNT VIRTUS TRAINING IN MARCH The Gospel of John has been performed more than 600 times since 2001 in professional theaters and churches across the U.S. and Europe. During this season of Lent, the production will come to Our Lady of the Mount Catholic Church on Lookout Mountain on Sunday, March 1, at 6:30pm. Actor Brad Sherill—producer and star of the one-man show—spent nearly five months memorizing all 20,000 words of John’s gospel. Using a dozen simple props in various ways, Sherrill transforms the gospel into a captivating drama, presenting the entire story of the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Seating for the performance begins at 6pm. No reservation is necessary. An offering will be taken for those who choose to contribute. VIRTUS Training is required by our diocese for all adult employees and volunteers who interact in programs with parish or school youth.

REUNION PARA SACRISTANES: Cuando usted llega a misa, el pan, agua y vino ya estan ahi en el vestibule: los Calises se pueden ver en la credencia (mesa al lado del Altar). Despues de la misa, mientras usted se toma unos minutos platicando con amigos o dando un abrazo al Padre, los ‘platos del Altar’ (Vasos Sagrados) se han recojido y limpidado. Preparar el Altar y recojer todo luego no son tareas dificiles, pero si es algo que nuestros padres o celbrantes o diaconos deben hacer- al menos que algien ayude. Este “ayudante,” quien usted nunca ve, se llama un Sacristan. Si usted sirve como Sacristan o ya recibio su entrenamiento y quiere ayudar en alguna misa por favor , venga al salon Parriquial PLC el Jueves, Febrero 26, at 7pm.
