Reminder for the Solemnity of Mary, January 1, 2023

Thanksgiving Mass: Last Sunday of this Church Calendar Year: 9:30; coffee, donuts, home made muffins, & juice on the house.

Place: Vines High School on 15th between Custer & Independence.

Readings: Sirach 50 22-24; Psalm 113; 1 Corinthians 1, 3-9; Luke 17, 11-19 (these are the readings for Thanksgiving, Nov. 22, page 88 in our booklets) 

Thankgiving Tree: we will set up a tree with lights on the stage.  Nearby will be paper ornaments on which you may answer the question, " I thank God this year for…"  Use the ribbons to tie it onto the tree.  Kids will find special ornaments that have a picture to color on one side, while the blessing can be put on the other side.  We will keep it up every Sunday into Christmas Eve Mass at 4:00.  Perhaps a couple of blessings can be read anonymously each Sunday.  Our Thanksgiving continues into Christmas.

Result of the informal poll on our Mass time: wide preference for 9:30, as it is. 

Tree Project update: maybe in December?  Waiting to hear from Collin Co. Child Advocacy Center, Park & Los Rios.

From Tom Quinn: Do you know anyone interested in an entertainment center?  It’s a beautiful piece of blonde furniture that is in great condition.  I can’t seem to get any of the Charities to pick it up as I don’t have the vehicle to deliver it.  Quinn, Tom & Theresa, E-mail Address:  tntquinn@peoplepc.com

To the Cast and Crew of Noises Off,
I just wanted to take a moment and congratulate you all on a wonderful
production. We were able to attend the opening night performance and can not
tell you how much we loved the entire show. The comedy came in many forms
and was constant throughout all three acts. I honestly can not even imagine
how exhausted you all must be after each performance! In the three years
that Teatro delle Muse has been the resident company of the ArtCentre
Theatre I can't remember a production that generated so many belly laughs
from the audience. I sat in the back row (as is a habit of mine, I enjoy
watching the audience, reviewers and tech crew as much as I do the show) and
never saw a moment of restlessness, nor watch checks or snoring from
audience members. That is amazing! Be very proud of the work you have done.
I am proud to know this show is a part of our theatre. Jamey, I can't wait
to see your next production with TDM, wait productions. there's Grease,
Rocky Horror Picture Show, A Christmas Show and of course Evening Star
Rising. We are so glad to have you as a part of our company and we hope that
you bring all the talent from Noises Off with you to other shows!
