COMING UP SOON
The Bishop’s
Annual Appeal will take place in May. We are ahead of the appeal here because
we ran a three year version of the appeal last year. We will be asking
those who have not made a three year pledge to the BAA to make a one or two
year pledge. The good news is that our three year pledges have already
got us past our BAA goal for this year. So, new pledge money will all stay right here at St. Mary’s for
the ongoing care of our historic buildings and for scholarships to our grade
school based on financial need. The diocese will soon mail a description
of this year’s appeal to all our households.
SENIORS IN HIGH SCHOOL
Please plan
to come to the 11:30 Mass on May 17th. We would
like to honor you at that Mass and have you introduce yourself to the
parishioners at that time. You and your family are welcome at a light lunch
after the Mass. We just need to hear from you so that we can get an accurate
count for the lunch. Are you coming? How many family members will be
with you at lunch? Call us at 445-9668.
FIRST FRIDAY OF MAY
Exposition
of the Blessed Sacrament on the First Friday of May will take place from 12:30
to 3:30 at SAINT LEO.
Exposition closes with Benediction. This takes the place of exposition here at
St. Mary that day.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
Bingo Coordinator, Dick Hilsheimer is having shoulder
surgery on his injured rotator cup. Because of this, his mobility in
setting up bingo on Sundays is limited. We are in urgent need of
someone to help Dick on Sunday afternoons set up for bingo. He will still
be there, but needs someone who can be his arms in getting bingo set up while
his shoulder heals. Once set up is complete you are free to leave. If you are available to do this please call
Jason Shanks in the parish office at 445-9668. Please do not assume that
someone else will step up. Bingo revenue has really picked up over the last
year and we need to keep this important fundraiser going. Your help is
needed and appreciated! There is NO smoking in the gym, so you will not
have that to worry about.
STUDY COMMITTEE NEEDED
Father
Thomas would like to hear from anyone interested in studying whether we can
form a Cub Scout group here. We have some statistics to help guide us in
determining whether or not this is a workable idea.
