IN OUR PARISH

WE WELCOME   to our parish family through baptism:  Charles Marshall Herfel, son of Charles and Megan;  Emily Marie Schulkers, daughter of David and Jennifer; and Hanna Nicole Schulkers, daughter of Daniel Schulkers and Andrea Detzel.  May the always know the joy of God’s blessings. 

JESSE TREE THANK YOU   “I would like to thank you for your generous support of the 2007 Project Merry Christmas program. The toys, food, clothes and other articles that your parish donated were pivotal in allowing us to serve over 350 children and adults in need during this last Christmas season.  Thank you for your kind outpouring of charity, time and prayers for us in Lewis County.  Peace and God Bless, Joe Grosek, Glenmary Volunteer Director”

SPARE CHANGE SUNDAY   The students from the Belize Mission Group will be collecting your spare change after all masses this weekend.  All proceeds will go to help fund the Belize Trip 2008. 

LENTEN SCRIPTURE STUDY   will be held immediately following all Wednesday masses during Lent.  This can be a great opportunity to more fully experience this holy season. 

THE MEN IN BLACK TOUR CONTINUES   with "Male and Female He Created Them." Join us today, Sunday, February 10th at 7:00 pm in church as Fr. Jeff Von Lehman, pastor at St. Patrick's, gives a talk on understanding our sexual dynamics.  Listen as he discusses why our sexuality has become disfigured by a culture that has forgotten the sheer beauty of this gift created by God.  Questions call Terri 859-441-3438 or Sharon 859-441-1069. 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED   for the upcoming St. Catherine Fish Fries.  Lent is right around the corner, and that means the fish fries are also!  The Social Life Committee is in need of volunteers to help serve that wonderfully tasty fish provided by Green Derby.  It is a great way to have fun with fellow parishioners and to also meet new people.  Fish fry dates are February 15th and March 7th, from 4:30 to 7:30.  If interested, please call Mary Meyer at 291-7771.  

HOMILIES ON CD   Fr. Stef’s January homilies are available on CD and can be picked up in the back of church or in the parish office. 

FR. MIKE COMER’S TALK   “Journey into Faithfulness” is available on CD and can be purchased in the parish office for $2.00. 

THE HEARTFUL QUILTERS met for the first time on Monday, January 21 and we had 7 ladies join us for our first gathering. While some knitted, others worked together to create a baby quilt. One ambitious lady even took home supplies to make another quilt by next month! Some of the ladies who helped are not sewers but we had jobs for them also! Please join us and we can find a job for you! We will be meeting in McCrystal Hall on the 3rd Monday of each month (February 18th). Bring supplies if you have them or use some of ours, just come and join the fun!  If you do not drive at night, but would like to come, please contact Betsy at 441-3463 or Pat at 781-2711 for a ride.

PARISH CLEAN UP DAY   We're going to try this again.  We want our church spic-n-span for Easter, right???  This day is meant to take care of the things that are not on the regular cleaning list of our wonderful group of monthly volunteers. The date has been rescheduled for Saturday, March 1st. We can make it a party... bring the kids. (This is a great opportunity for service hours). We will start at 9am and have to finish before 3pm, due to mass and a wedding. Why not get your family and friends together, come on up to church and show off your amazing cleaning talents! 

LOOKING FOR AN EASIER WAY TO FULFILL YOUR OFFERTORY COMMITMENT? Having a hard time remembering to bring your donation each Sunday? Want to give back to God from your surplus instead of your leftovers? EFT may be the answer to your dilemma. Your offertory commitment may be fulfilled by having a monthly withdrawal from your checking account through  Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). The withdrawal can take place either on the 15th or the 30th of the month. If you would like more information, please contact Mary Brzinski in the parish office 441-1352 extension 14 or email at mbrzinski@stcatherineofsiena.org. 

 SERVER AND EUCHARISTIC MINISTER SCHEDULES    can now be picked up in the usher’s room. Please  be sure to stop and get your schedule. 

A NEWLY CREATED SERVER SUBSTITUE PAGE is now available on the web. This page is designed as a communication tool to help servers find substitutes when scheduling conflicts arise.  If you are a server who is looking to find a sub for a specific serving commitment or if you are available to be a substitute, log on to St. Catherine’s website and check out this new page.   Click on the schedules icon and then click on servers. 

ATTENTION HEALTH MINISTRY VOLUNTEERS   Please submit volunteer hours and committee name for January to Cheri Hunter by email at cheri_hunter2000@yahoo.com, phone at 781-4507, or leave a note in the box by the parking lot door.  If you have any unreported hours from other months, just submit those with the December hours.  The hours are reported to St. Elizabeth on a quarterly basis  - so you are never too late to report hours.  Thanks again for your help in this matter.
