January is Immaculate Conception Parish's month to supply basic needs to Catholic Charities so that they may help those in need. Items sought are such things as toothbrushes and toothpaste, paper towels, toilet tissue, deodorant, powder, soap, shampoo, Kleenex, detergent, etc. There will be blue bins at the main (middle) entrance and at the two side entrances of the church. We thank you in advance for your help and support of this project.

The Magi in today's Gospel reading for Epiphany "come from the east"- presumably from lands where Islam was to arise six centuries later. Did the Magi bring the memory of their encounter with Christ back with them and share it with others? Did this memory over the course of time play a role in the great respect the Qur'an shows for Jesus as son of the Virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit--not as the Son of God but as one of the greatest of prophets, able to cure the sick and raise the dead?
Reflection: Can we allow the Epiphany of Jesus to the world to have a different meaning for Muslims than it does for us? Jesus, in both of our religions, calls us to worship God and God alone and to love your neighbor. Can such common understanding support a common effort to build world peace?

The Light Weigh program is being presented again at Immaculate Conception Parish. Are you ready to Make Peace With Food? Are you constantly struggling with your weight? Tired of following diets like they were religions? Consider giving God a chance to touch your heart, your life, and your eating. If you would like more info, attend the Light Weigh Orientation on Tuesday, January 15 at 5:30 PM in Carges hall. If you have any questions, please call Anne at 272-2217, evenings.
