IN OUR PARISH

PLEASE TAKE NOTE    Due to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, the deadline for the November 29th bulletin will be Thursday, November 19th by noon .  Please keep this in mind if you have any submissions for that weekend’s bulletin.  

ST. CATHERINE SIENA CLUB    Will be holding their monthly meeting today, Sunday, November 8th.  If you are looking for a good way to spend your Sunday afternoon, stop by McCrystal Hall at 12:30 p.m. and join the fun!  There will be cards, food and friends.  

HELP HOMELESS FAMILIES   through the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) Monday-Wednesday, November 16th, 17th 18th.   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 Mindy Hoarston at 547-8415 for additional information or see the sign-up posters at the Rossford Avenue exit of church. 

STEWARDSHIP OPPORTUNITY    Looking for a way to give back to your parish?  Consider being a greeter at a weekend mass.  The commitment is small, only one mass per month, but the rewards are great!  You will have the chance to welcome fellow parishioners as well as visitors to St. Catherine as they enter mass.  What a great way to not only meet new people, but to help bring the light of Christ to them as well.  This is an important ministry of our parish, as it lets everyone entering our doors know that they are welcome and wanted here.  If you would like to be a part of this, contact Paul and Ann Basham at 781-0012.

SCRIP UPDATE   Gift cards for the following retailers are now available through the Scrip program: Meijer, Gordon Food Service, Aeropostale, Dot’s, Logan ’s Roadhouse, Cold Stone Creamery, Michael’s, and Overstock.com.  Not all of these cards are kept in stock, but they can be ordered.  With Christmas quickly approaching, keep the Scrip program in mind, not only for gift-giving but for your shopping needs as well.  

HAVE DINNER AND EARN MONEY FOR ST. CATHERINE   Buckhead Mountain Grill will be having a St. Catherine night on the second Tuesday of the month, beginning this Tuesday, November 10th.  They will donate 20% of your check back to St. Catherine.  Mark you calendars for the other upcoming nights too: Thursday, November 12thSkyline Night ( Highland Heights store only); Sunday, November 15thApplebee’s ( Highland Heights ); Wednesday, November 18th, Papa John’s ( Southgate ).  Flyers for each night are available on the St. Catherine website or you can pick them up in the school or parish office. Our hope is that parishioners will be able to attend one of these nights – this is an easy way to earn extra money for the parish and it gives the chef in the family a night off!

GOING TO THE RUSTY BALL ON NOVEMBER 21st?  If so, meet in McCrystal Hall before the event for a Rusty Ball Pre-Party at 6:30 PM. Bring drinks and a snack to share and we’ll try to set up a car pool over to the main event.   Contact Brandy Vieth (brandyvieth@yahoo.com) or Carrie Bleser (carrie_bleser@lpk.com) with questions or search for us on Facebook at St. Catherine of Siena Love Boat/Rusty Ball.
