IN OUR PARISH

PLEASE TAKE NOTE    Fr. Stef will be out of town for the priest convocation from Monday, September 24th - Thursday, September 27th.  Because of this, there will be a communion service held instead of mass on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

MAGAZINE DRIVE   The children of the parish are selling magazines to help support the parish. If you would like to order or renew a magazine, please contact a St. Catherine child or call the school office, 572-2680 or the parish office, 441-1352. 40% of all sales come back to St. Catherine! What an easy way to support the parish! All orders must be received by October 1st. Thanks for your support! 

WHAT A WONDERFUL PARISH FAMILY WE HAVE!   We have been very moved by the love, support and prayers from our St. Catherine community during the difficult time since the untimely death of my sister, Linda Barth Woodruff. Our special thanks to Fr. Stef for his support and for helping assure Linda's passage to her eternal reward by administering the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick in her last conscious moments and by concelebrating the funeral mass. We love and appreciate all of you.    Dave & Molly Barth

WELCOME NEW MEMBERS AT PARISH FEST    The Social Life Committee has decided to team up with the organizers of Parish Fest to welcome our newest members. Instead of having the Welcome Breakfast that was scheduled for September 30th, they will introduce new members at Parish Fest, which will be held on Saturday, September 29th after 4:30 mass in the lower parking. There will be food, drinks, music, children's games and cornhole.  Make plans to come and socialize with fellow parishioners and meet the newest members of the St. Catherine family.  

PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL    Our meetings are on the third Wednesday of every month immediately after Mass (at about 7:45 pm) in the Library. Meetings are open to all parishioners, but please contact the parish office or a Council member if you want to request to add an item to the Agenda. We plan to put the Agenda on the parish website a week before each meeting. Our focus for this year will be on building spiritual and social community in our parish. Our members will be wearing name tags whenever we're at St. Catherine, to encourage parishioners and Council members to meet each other and to share ideas for improving all aspects of parish life and ministry.  

LOST IN THE BEAUTY OF HER GOD   Is the title of Sister Marie Pierre Semler's exhibit that Fr. Stef Bankemper will be presenting on Sunday, October 7th at 7:00pm. "When Sister Marie looked at a piece of wood, stone or canvas, she saw stories, messages of inspiration and the achievements and shortcomings of humankind."  Fr. Stef will guide us in prayer and meditation inspired from the art. The exhibit will be on display in McCrystal Hall prior to the talk from 4:00-7:00 pm. Questions call Terri 441-3438. 

FLU SHOTS     will be available again this year on October 20th & 21st in the back of church.  You must sign-up by October 15th in the back of church, so that we can have enough vaccine available.  The times will be after 4:30pm mass until 6:15pm on October 20th and after 9:00am mass until 11:15am on October 21st. The cost will be $20.  Flu shots will be free if you present a Medicare card for those 65 and older. This will be the only type of insurance card that is accepted.   If you would like to help out or have any questions, contact Carol Gessner at 442-5280.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR    for a fun evening on Saturday, October 20th in McCrystal Hall.  The Social Life Committee is having a repeat of last year’s successful "A Night to Remember, Come to the Cabaret".  It’s an evening for music and songs, food and fun and the admission is only a snack or hors d’oeuvre.  Watch the Community Circle for more information.

THE SIENA TRAVEL CLUB   is going to La Comedia Dinner Theatre on December 5th to see "White Christmas" and will also be stopping by Freisinger’s Fine Chocolates.  Cost per person is $72.00.  For more information call JoAnne at 781-3847 or Lois at 781-2232. 

DO YOU SHOP AT REMKE?    If so, be sure to fill out a form that designates a percentage of the money you spend there to St. Catherine.  Even if you have completed a form in the past, you have to fill out a new one in order to be included in the program.  Forms can be found in the back of church or in the parish office. Completed forms can be dropped off at Remke, in the parish office or to the person selling Scrip after masses.   Also, don’t forget about the wide variety of gift cards available from Scrip. Whether you’re going out to eat, picking up pizza or fast food, shopping for every day needs or filling up your gas tank, we have gift cards for you!  This is the easiest way you can earn money for our parish without any extra out of pocket cost to you.  If you have any questions about the program, please call Kathy Saalfeld at 781-2802, Gail Williams at 781-6967 or the parish office at 441-1352.
