IN OUR PARISH  

EXTRAORDINARY MINISTER OF HOLY COMMUNION    If you would like to serve the Lord  and our parish by being a minister of holy communion, please contact Kim Lampe at 441-9955 or klampe@fuse.net.  Those who wish to serve in this capacity will be contacted about a training session and a date to be commissioned.   

READY, SET, CHARGE     We currently offer parishioners the opportunity to give their contribution to the parish via EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) and are now making available another new way of making monthly contributions to the parish.  We are willing to offer the parish the opportunity to make their monthly contributions with either Mastercard or Visa.  We in no way are suggesting that anyone finance their parish contribution through the use of credit cards, however, some credit card companies offer incentives, rebates, etc…  This could possibly help you earn sky miles or a cashback bonus. Our goal in doing this is to make tithing more convenient for you.  If you have any questions about this, please contact Mary Brzinski in the parish office, 441-1352, ext. 14.

 FESTIVAL 2008   Once again, we will have our dollar envelope booth.  We are looking for donations of new toys, games, books, and stuffed animals.  Please call Tammy Schroder, 781-2412 if you have any questions and/or donations.  

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL REGISTRATION 2008   This year VBS will be held August 4^th - 8^th.  Our theme is Son World Adventure Park VBS.  Registration forms are now available on the St. Catherine website, in the back of church and in the school and parish offices.  Please take a moment and get your kids signed up early!  You can also use the same form if you wish to be a volunteer.  We promise a faith-filled and fun week for participants and volunteers!  Don't miss out.   Any questions, call Patty Chalk at 441-0560 or Heather Stuempel at 781-6122.  

HOMILIES ON CD       Fr. Stef's homilies from the Easter season are now available and can be picked up in the back of church or in the parish office.

Please mark your calendars though for next month on June 16^th.  We will have a guest quilter, Cheryl Wilson from NKY Cares Org. to show us how to make special quilts for children in foster care and battered shelters. She will supply all the materials. Please come and see if you can help next month. We will meet in McCrystal Hall from 6:30 - 9:30 on June 16th. This would be a wonderful service project for jr. high or high school girls too! All are welcome!

THE EAGLE PROJECT       is St. Catherine of Siena 's Estate and Gift Legacy Education Project. It is a brand new parish project to facilitate the desire of many parishioners to include St. Catherine Parish in their estate planning.  Our goal is to educate parishioners on the best ways to leave strong legacies of faith to honor their God, their Church and their Family while, as good stewards, they also provide maximum positive tax impact on their estates.  At this time we are looking for members of the parish who are interested attorneys or financial planning professionals to be part of our advisory and support group.  If you would like more information please contact David Garner at (859) 466-7052 or email dm_garner@yahoo.com.
