In order for the Easter Ministry Schedule to accommodate everyone’s plans, we are using sign-up sheets which are located at the entrance of the church. Please take a moment to indicate when you will be attending Mass during Easter so that you can be scheduled at a convenient time. The sheets will be available until February 21^st.

Do you know of a neighbor or friend who can’t make it to Mass on a regular basis? We encourage you to take an extra copy of the Bulletin and New Freeman and drop it off to them. This little bit of contact will help them feel as though they are still part of the parish community even if they can’t be in the church. If you aren’t able to drop a bulletin off to a shut-in neighbor, please contact the office, we would be happy to mail bulletins out to them on a regular basis.

The new curtains for the vestry and sanctuary will be installed in the next few weeks (we hope), and you may still donate to this project. Just use one of our Building Fund envelopes and write “Vestry” on it.

Thank You to all who contributed to the special collection for the relief effort in Haiti. Because of your generosity, a cheque for $5,088.92 has been forwarded to Development & Peace to assist the victims of the earthquake.
