Central and Eastern Europe, Church in Africa, Catholic Home Missions,
and the United States Mission Collection have been combined into one
second collection. That collection will be taken up at all Masses next

give you an opportunity to participate in the missionary activity of the
Church on both a local and world level. This week you should receive a letter from our
Chancellor and Vicar General, Msgr. Mauricio West with an informative brochure. Please take
the time to read through the brochure and become more familiar with the good work done by
these organizations. The envelope for this collection is part of your parish envelope packet.

community of faith. Last month, we received many collection envelopes and Christmas Cards
returned. So we ask you to update your information: address, email … by calling the office at

understanding and cooperation.
WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY 2018
The theme for the 2018 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which is
celebrated Jan. 18-25, is “Your Right Hand, O Lord, Glorious in Power.”
The theme, taken from Exodus 15:6, points to the glorious power of God
to draw people together in the desire for Christian unity.
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity has a 100-year history,
beginning as an eight-day period of prayer in 1908 called the “Church
Unity Octave,” established by founders of the Society of the Atonement, Mother Lurana White
and Servant of God Father Paul Wattson of Graymoor. The octave begins with the feast of the
Chair of St. Peter (Jan. 18) and ends on the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul (Jan. 25). Pope
Pius X gave his blessing to the Church Unity Octave and in 1916, Pope Benedict XV extended its
observance to the universal Church. (Graymoor Ecumenical and Interreligious Institute.)
SNOW ALERT: Please check the parish website (stbenedictgreensboro.net) for
any cancelations/delays caused by snow or other inclement weather.
