IN OUR PARISH

BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS   will be offered after all masses this weekend in the usher’s room.

PARISH DAY OF SERVICE   is this Sunday, May 6th after 11:30 mass.  Immediately following mass, enjoy lunch provided by the Foresters, or just come up around 12:30.  Please bring tools, rakes, shovels, brooms, as well as cleaning supplies, buckets, cleaner, rags, etc.  We will be planting flowers, raking, painting, cleaning, and dusting inside and out. Hope to see you all there for a fun and productive day! 

INSPIRATIONAL HOMILIES ON CD   Listen to God's message as you drive or share his messagewith a shut-in or friend.  The homilies from Holy Week and Easter are now available on CD and can be picked up in the back of church or in the parish office.

HEALTH MINISTRY    We are looking for parishioners/former parishioners who are nursing home residents. Part of our ministry is to provide visitation and the Eucharist to shut-in's and nursing home residents.  Because of the HIPPA Laws, (the form you are required to sign at the doctor's office or hospitals), we have difficulty locating our parishioners. We are asking for your help! Please call the church office at 441-1352 with any information.  

HANGING BASKETS   will be sold after the 4:30pm mass on Saturday, May 12th and the 9:00 and 11:30 masses on Sunday, May 13th.  This is another perfect opportunity to brighten your home or pick up a gift for mom on Mother’s Day!  All proceeds from both of these sales will benefit St. Catherine’s Church.  Volunteers are still needed to help with both sales.  Please contact Kelly Frost at 441-0778 or kfrostky@fuse.net for more information.
