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.

well-loved Pastor at St. Xavier church in downtown Cincinnati. His witness on
Passion/Palm Sunday, March 16th at 7:00 pm in church is a
perfect way to meditate on the "Passion" of our Lord and to take heart
in our sufferings because Good Friday is always followed by a glorious Easter!
