IN OUR PARISH

MEN'S GROUP MEETING AND BURNING OF THE GREENS   Save the trees! (So we can burn them.) In place of our regular Monday meeting in January, the Men's Group will be gathering in the Church parking lot on Sunday, January 3, at 7:00 pm to drive around town saving Christmas trees from death in a Rumpke truck. We need guys with trucks or trailers and we need other guys to ride shotgun. After saving the trees, we'll gather for refreshments and snacks in McCrystal Hall. If anyone in the Parish needs a tree picked up that night, please call Dave Barth (441-0194) or Jon Guth (441-1160).

ST. BERNARD’S PANTRY     Thanks to all who have been supporting our collections for St. Bernard’s pantry.  This month’s items are boxes of Jello mix and packaged cookies. 

SCHEDULES AVAILABLE    If you are a server or extraordinary minister of Holy Communion,  please pick up your new schedule in the back of church by the Rossford exit.

HOMILIES ON CD   The new homily reflection cd’s are available in the back of church.  They feature the homilies from the last few weeks of ordinary time.

ST. CATHERINE JUNIOR HIGH PLAY    Tickets are on sale for the Junior High production of Annie, Jr.   Performance dates are January 15^th, 16^th, 17^th, 22^nd, and 23^rd.  Cost for show is $5.00.  For tickets call Jennie Cox at 441-4322 or Dottie Hartman at 292-0423.

CALLING ALL PARISHIONERS!!  Help create the St. Catherine of Siena Parish Wall.  A magnificent, one of a kind tile wall, composed of individually painted tiles will be created, but not without you!  Becoming part of this special project and St. Catherine history is easy. Just purchase a voucher anytime between now and our annual Love Boat Fundraiser on February 6, 2010 .  Look for our display after select masses and St. Catherine events, or visit the parish website.  Two options are available – a $50.00 you paint it tile (designs unlimited) or a $75.00 we paint it tile (3 designs available). A date will then be selected in late February for all participants to come and paint their part of history.  Several artists and creative-minded individuals will be on hand to assist you.  So make your mark - celebrate a baptism, birthday, or wedding, memorialize a loved one, or give as a Christmas gift! Visit the St. Catherine website for all details or call Robin Lindeman  781-6255 or Diane Kroger 441-2243 with questions.

THE GREAT ESCAPE   Christ Renews His Parish Women's Retreat (CRHP) will take place February 20 - 21, 2010 . The women of CRHP #4 cordially invite all interested women in joining us for a weekend of spiritual growth and renewal.  CRHP is a wonderful opportunity to experience personal growth and to develop faith-filled relationships with other women of St Catherine's Parish.  If you are interested in attending or getting more information, please contact Helen Brune at 781-2869 or helen.brune@insightbb.com.

ELSEWHERE

THE JESUIT SPIRITUAL CENTER   is proud to introduce the William Splain Retreat Cabin. 

Located on the peaceful banks of the Little Miami River, on a quiet corner of the Jesuit Spiritual Center campus, the William Splain Retreat Cabin offers the perfect setting to step off life's carousel for a while. If you're looking to clear your head, or to refresh yourself spiritually or to spend some special time with your spouse, then call Pam at (513) 248-3500, ext. 22 and make your reservation. The cabin features one bedroom, full appliances and a porch overlooking the river. It's not the Marriott or the Holiday Inn -- it's much, much more.
