CHANGES IN THE OFFICE I have accepted a full time position with Care Net Pregnancy Services of Northern Kentucky beginning February 25th. I have prayed over my decision and feel God's calling, to work in this ministry. It was a difficult decision, because I love my work here at St. Catherine. I will miss all of your smiling faces on Thursdays and Fridays, but know you will kept in good hands because Teresa will now be working Monday through Friday. Thank you all for allowing me to be part of your church family. God’s Blessings, Tara
WOMEN’S CRHP WEEKEND
was inspirational and refreshing. Women's Team 2 would
like to express appreciation
for everyone who assisted with the weekend. Thanks to: Father Stef;
the groups that provided food and clean up; the men who set up and put
everything back; all the members of Team 2 who participated fully in the
assigned tasks; the parish staff who were so cooperative; the parish community
who prayed for us; and the Holy Spirit who stayed with us during the preparatory
year and especially during the weekend.
HELP HOMELESS FAMILIES through
the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) Monday-Wednesday, March 3, 4
and 5. Assistance is needed in transporting families in the IHN van to and
from Christ Church and the Day Center in Newport, preparing a meal, hosting a
meal and spending the night. This is a great way for families and individuals to
work together in service. New volunteers will be paired with experienced helpers
so don’t let inexperience keep you from answering the call. Call Lisa Walburg
at 441-4964 for additional information or see the sign-up posters at the
Rossford Avenue exit of church. Thank
you to Jim and Bev Stegman who have helped with set-up for IHN at Christ Church
for every rotation since St. Catherine became a support church many years ago.
Their hard work has been greatly appreciated by the volunteers at both churches
and by the countless homeless families they have served. Jim and Bev helped
set-up guest rooms on the Sunday before our rotation and we will need to provide
that service with new volunteers starting this next rotation. If you are
interested in helping with the set-up on March 2nd at Christ Church
for about 1 hour please call Lisa Walburg.
