IN OUR PARISH

EASTER MESSAGE    We’ve walked through another Lent together, and celebrated another Triduum, and now we’ve arrived at this glorious season of Easter.  Through these next seven weeks, some of us will still deal with illness or the death of loved ones or worries about our children.  Some of us still may be out of work.  May the joy of the Easter season, and the knowledge that Christ is victorious over evil and all its manifestations, bring you joy and lighten the burden of your cares.   Fr. Stef  

OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY    is extended to the family and friends of Gloria Brooks, Margie Thomas, Ruth Langenbahn, and Mary Kroger,  all of whom were recently buried from our parish.  Please keep them and their families in your prayers.  

DIVINE MERCY      The Divine Mercy Chaplets and Novena are the devotional fruits born out of the Divine Mercy revelations given to St. Faustina from our Lord. We are inviting you to join in the Divine Mercy Novena starting on Good Friday after the stations and continuing everyday following daily mass until Divine Mercy Sunday on April 11^th  (except for Easter Sunday which will be said independently). This is a very short devotional (5-8 minutes), pamphlets will be available.  

LITTLE WHITE BOOKS   for the Easter season will be available in the back of church today.

CCD TEACHERS: needed for the 2010-2011 school year. The time for discernment is now. We are in search of a third and eighth grade teacher. Interested persons must be active in their faith and ready to answer the call. Diocese requires applicants to be, or to become, Virtus trained and willing to begin work on teaching certification for religious education teachers. Contact David Kohrs at 859-653-4398 or kohrssd@fuse.net with your willingness to serve in this ministry.

HELP HOMELESS FAMILIES   through the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) Monday-Wednesday, April 5^th, 6^th, & 7^th.   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.   

SOFTBALL PLAYERS NEEDED   The St Catherine's Team #1 is looking for additional players.  This men's team plays at the Fort on Monday nights throughout the summer and is looking for fellow parishioners to join us.  For more information please contact Terry Nolan at tnolan14@fuse.net or Chuck Peters at 291-7127.  

ST. CATHERINE’S MEN’S GOLF LEAGUE     Come join the fun!   Since it’s beginning in 1968, the St. Catherine’s Men’s Golf League gives its members an opportunity to play golf with fellow parishioners, friends and family. The league plays a spouse friendly schedule of only 9 holes every 2^nd and 4^th Tuesday of the month, starting April 27^th through August. An annual end of the year outing on September 16^th - 19^th at Perry Park Ky, is also available.  Our tee times on Tuesday are from 4 to 6 PM , at A.J. Jolly.  The league is handicapped so everyone can participate on a level playing basis, regardless of ability. We also have a sub list for those who may not be able to play regularly. Contact Kevin Johnson @ 441-8331 or email kjohnson1@fuse.net, for further information.  

ST. CATHERINE TRAVEL GROUP   is planning a bus trip to Washington , DC April 23^rd – 26^th.  The cost is $385 for 4 days and includes transportation, accommodations, 6 meals, guided tours and tips.  For more information or to make a reservation, call 781-3847 or 781-2232.

ST. BERNARD FOOD PANTRY    The April items for the food pantry are peanut butter and jelly. You can drop off your donation to church, the parish office or the school office.

PRAYER BLANKET MINISTRY    We are starting a new prayer blanket ministry at St. Catherine.  We will be making fleece blankets for parishioners that are sick, having surgery or need healing in any way.  We are in need of crafters, monetary donations and prayers for the recipients.  If anyone is interested in helping with this ministry in any way, please call Nancy Hassman at (859)760-3751 or email at nhassman@fuse.net.

UPCOMING NOMINATIONS   We are currently seeking nominations for parishioners to fill seats on the Board of Catholic Education and Parish Pastoral Council.  These are left vacant by a number of outgoing Board and Council members who have dedicated their time and talents to St. Catherine Parish.  Please consider the many gifts you or your fellow parishioners have to offer these groups and deposit your nominations in the ballot box that will be located at the back of the chruch for the next few weeks.  Nominees will be contacted and invited to attend a discernment meeting in May.  You may contact Carol Little at 441-4070 or Bob Hassman at 653-6014 with any questions.

HELP NEEDED    We are in need of someone to lay laminate floor tile in a few areas.  If you know how to do this and would like to volunteer, please call Dennis Kramer at 441-1352, ext. 17.

MAY CROWNING   Be sure to mark your calendars for Wednesday, May 5^th.  We will be asking our second grade children to dress in their First Communion dresses/suits for this occasion. There will also be an ice cream social following the ceremony.
