5-7PM in the Parish Hall - February 29-March 28. It is time to
schedule the volunteers and soup donations for 2012. Please feel free
to extend this invitation to others in our faith community, so they
too, feel welcome to participate. Soup donations, servers and
individuals to pick-up rolls at A.T.V, or to assist with set-up/clean-up
are needed each week. It is a great opportunity for acquiring service
hours or to have a Lenten activity for the family. Please contact:

What's on Your Resolution List?
We will give you a chance to check off a few items and at
the same time learn how your talents can help your
parish. As you know we place our ministry cart
prominently outside the church doors during weekend
Masses. This cart is stocked with informational tri-folds
for many of our ministries.
On the last two weekend in January (21/22 & 28/29) we
ask and encourage you to explore the opportunities to
participate more fully in our parish by matching your
talents to one of these ministries. They all offer a role of
service and a great way to socialize.
Many of our ministries need continual renewal with "new
blood". Some are short-handed, whether they are
relatively new such as Church Greeters or more mature
such as CYO or Parish Nurses. Please take the time for
yourself and your parish.

The St. Vincent de Paul Society and the Parish Food Pantry were
able to assist many families during the Christmas season thanks to
the contributions and donations of so many loving and caring people
from our school and parish. On behalf of those who received gifts
from our annual Advent Wishing Well (Lifeline & Berks
Heim) & Catholic Charities Christmas Wish Program, we
thank you for your generosity. It is always very rewarding to see the
response of our parish to this annual appeal.
Thank you all!
