Hi
I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks to those of you that came to Holy Hour. It was very nice. Thanks to Deacon for joining and leading us and preparing the stations. Thanks to Kieran for all the work pulling together the evening prayer. And thanks to Nick for altar serving- we know that cross gets heavy by about the 7th station. It was great to see some people from the parish- and particularly our buddy Joseph and his wife.
Also- many thanks to those of you that helped with the Thanksgiving drive! It reminded me of how we oiled the sacristy in 20 min at the famine because there were so many of you. You're helping out with the bags really made that work go fast. (when we walked into the parish hall, the ladies said- 'here comes the calvary :O)) ) You guys are the BEST! and really come together when help is needed. Iam always so proud of you and everything that you do.
A couple of things-
BAKE SALE SATURDAY DEC 1- 10AM to 7PM- you must all bake 2 items. I also need people to sign up to sell- even if only for an hour from 10AM to 7PM. A bunch of you are on the retreat and others at regionals, so the sign up sheet is empty... HELP! This is our fundraiser to pay for our Christmas dinner at Two Steps- so please help out selling (baking is not an option)
Father needs us to change the missals in the church. They actually have new black folders too. We are meeting in the church on Friday Nov 30 at 5:00. Let me know if you will be able to attend. For those of you that are not available on Sat- you can drop your baked goods off with me in the church on Friday when we are doing the missals. If a bunch of you come, it usually doesn't take more than an hour.
Second- for those of you not at the meeting on Sunday- we had a sign up sheet for the famine. Since it is by invitation only- you need to let me know if you are planning to come and if you want to invite someone(s) (and their name).
Oh BTW- the famine is currently scheduled for Friday March 7 and Sat March 8. I just found out that that is the weekend of Science Horizons. Let me know if that is a problem for any of you. If it affects alot of you, we will have to pick a new date- and the new date will probably be after Easter as I can't do it the weekend of March 1 and the two weekends prior to that are winter break.
We discussed the bake off- which will be Sat Feb 2. Father will let us use the kitchen in the rectory. Sam Iron Chef Winstrom's team will be cooking in the parish hall and Mr. Pastry Chef Gallagher's team will be cooking in the rectory. Once we have the list of everyone invited to the famine, we will have an initial meeting and pick teams. For those of you in the youth group that will not be doing the famine- you can still (and we hope you do) participate in the bake off and the fund raisers.
thanks
