    IN OUR PARISH 

WE WELCOME   to our parish family through baptism:  Mollie Jo Anderson, daughter of Aaron and Angela.  May God’s blessings always be with her.

 JESSE TREE THANK YOU    The following thank you was received from the Franciscan Daughters of Mary Community Outreach: “Thank you very much for your generosity to the Rose Garden Home Mission with your donation of toys from your Giving Tree.  Because of your kindness, 220 children received Christmas presents this year.  We are edified by your munificence, which helps to uphold the dignity of each human person.”

 ATTENTION ST. CATHERINE SIENA CLUB   Please remember that there is a meeting today, Sunday, January 21st at 1:00 p.m. in McCrystal Hall.  Hope to see you all there! 

 STEWARDSHIP PLEDGE DRIVE    If you haven’t already done so, please return your pledge card to the parish office. To date, only about 250 out of over 700 families have returned their cards.   Volunteers will be making phone calls next week to those who have not responded.  Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

INSPIRATIONAL HOMILIES ON CD   Listen to God's message as you drive or share his message with a shut-in or friend.  Fr. Stef's December homilies are available on CD and can be picked up in the back of church or in the parish office.

 ATTENTION ALL EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS AND SERVERS   Kim Lampe has volunteered to take over my scheduling and training responsibilities for both Eucharistic Ministers and Servers.  Please contact Kim with your scheduling changes.  These should include vacation dates, preference changes, deletion from schedule, suspension from schedule (college people) or general questions.  It has been a pleasure working and meeting so many wonderful and dedicated people over the years.  Thanks and continue the good work!       Judy Leick             

 LOOKING TO MAKE SOME EXTRA MONEY?   We are looking for parishioners who would like to bartend and/or clean up when there is a party in McCrystal Hall.  Training will be provided for anyone interested.  Please contact the parish office (441-1352).

 DO YOU EVER FORGET YOUR ENVELOPE?   We would like to offer the parish an opportunity to contribute in a new way.  Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT) is a new trend that could make your life a little simpler.  EFT would cost you and the parish nothing. If you would like to know more about this process or are interested in beginning to contribute in this manner, please contact Mary Brzinski at 441-1352 or email mbrzinski@stcatherineofsiena.org.
