 LOVE BOAT ’07 CELEBRATION   is quickly approaching.  Be sure your calendars are marked for Saturday, February 10th.   More information will follow in upcoming bulletins.

 

DOUBLE YOUR GIVING     Did you know that many companies in the area have "Matching Gift Programs" for current employees, as well as retirees and surviving spouses of former employees?   Most companies match gifts to eligible charities or educational institutions on a dollar for dollar basis, with annual maximum giving limits of $5000 or more.  St Catherine School is eligible for many of these programs, so in addition to being tax deductible, your contribution's impact can be doubled throughout the use of your employer's Matching Gifts Program. Please check with your employer to see if you can double the impact of your giving. 

THE HEALTH MINISTRIES COMMITTEE   would like to know if there are any parishioners that are in Nursing Homes or homebound that would like to be visited or contacted by phone. We also can provide transportation to doctor appointments and meals on a temporary basis to those in need due to illness.  We would like to make sure that all of our parishioners’ needs, both spiritual and physical, are being addressed.  However, we need to know who the parishioners are and how we can help.  Please contact the parish office with any information.

 AN INVITATION    If you’re confined to home and unable to attend Mass (even if it’s just temporary), please call the parish office (441-1352) if you’d like to receive Holy Communion in your home.  One of our Parish Ministries – Outreach to the Homebound – is waiting to bring the Eucharist to you, a family member, or even your neighbor.  We know that this is a need waiting to be met, but we must first hear from you.  So please accept this invitation and allow us to share the Living Bread – the Body of Jesus with you.

  SCHOOL PLAY NEWS   Tickets are on sale for the St. Catherine Junior High production of Schoolhouse Rock Live, Jr.  Performance dates are January 12th, 13th, 14th, 19th and 20th, with dinner performances on the 13th & 20th.  Cost for show is $5.00, dinner and show is $15.00.  For tickets call Sue Ann Freeman at 442-7558.

 AT THE END OF THE WORLD WILL YOU BE “LEFT BEHIND”   Join Fr.
