Eucharistic Ministers who are currently active.
WE NEED some to help to take Communion out to the home bound.  Please let Fr. John know if you would be interested in helping with this important ministry or contact the Parish Office @ 273-5482.

We are continuing our fundraising campaign for our two major projects of tuckpointing the church and the new heat system at the Parish Center. Our goal is $60,000 for both projects.  To date we have collected $49738.94  Thank you so much for responding to this need with such generosity.  We have $10261.06 to go to reach our goal.  Please continue to pray about your gift and do what you can in support of the ongoing work and upkeep of our parish.     
      Thank you!

Thank you to my parish family for all the kindnesses I have received since my hospitalization in February.  Those who provided
transportation for me to attend Mass, for doctors appointments and shopping for necessities. I am also grateful for the condolence cards, phone calls and expressions of sympathy following the death of my
sister.

Coat and Sweatshirt Collection
Some of us have winter coats and sweatshirts at home that are no longer in use for us and family. We want to take up a collection of them at each parish.  They will be set aside so parish member can come through and pick through them in our respective parish centers. There will be no cost.  Eventually, those not picked up will be given to Sac Outreach, Holy Rosary Parish in Minn., or Early's Food Pantry.  More information as to exact location and whose in charge will be in another announcement.
