THE ROSARY
The 15 Promises of Our Lady to Those Who Recite the Rosary
6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an un-provided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful in reciting the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in paradise.
9. I shall deliver from purgatory, those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
To be continued. -

Pastoral Council News
PASTORAL COUNCIL MEETING
The next regular meeting for the Pastoral Council of St. Gregory the Great will be held at
6:30 pm, 28 January 2019 in Mary's House
(Senior Center). This is an open meeting and all parishioner are welcome to attend. The meeting will stress the need to promote our parish, begin planning the recruitment of new members in May and the election of officers also in May.
PASTORAL COUNCIL SUPPORTWe will enter into a new Pastoral Council calendar year and need to work on our purpose and resolve for the year. We serve the parish as an advisory group to Fr. Rudy with a primary focus to assist and support ministries in whichever way we can. The ultimate goal of parish life is to take a fresh look at its many aspects and shape them in ways that will bring people closer to the Lord.
PROMOTE OUR PARISHWe must promote our parish, build-up our image in a way that will attract new parishioners and/or increase attendance. Attracting young parents could have the potential of a positive effect on school enrollments. One way is by word-of-mouth and another way would be to submit information about our parish to Today's Catholic for publication.

The lighting of lamps in church is a way of extending one’s prayer for special intentions, remembering a special event or in memory of a deceased friend or relative. This tradition has been in the church for centuries as a silent vigil which was begun by early Christians. These lamps are sponsored by the Altar Society. Please call Rosa Hawkins at the Parish Office to reserve your week and select your lamp.
We have two lamps placed at the Blessed Mother Altar and two lamps at the Blessed Sacrament Altar, one Perpetual lamp placed at the side of the Blessed Sacrament Altar and one in the Adoration Chapel which burn for a week. The prayer request are shown on page 8 in the bulletin.
