Parish Notes
BLACK & NATIVE AMERICAN COLLECTION
- Next
weekend! This collection assists parishes & programs
here in our own Archdiocese and across the United
States as they carry out evangelization work among
African Americans & Native Americans. Please be
generous. This will be a second collection.
STRATEGIC PASTORAL PLAN
- There were 507
evaluation forms filled out at all the masses last
weekend. These have been sent to the diocese for
tabulation. In the meantime organizations, boards &
committees continue to formulate our response to the
parish in-depth evaluation form. Please keep these
efforts in your prayers. Final draft formulated March
7 at an all day meeting of the Strategic Planning
Committee, the Parish Council & representatives from
all major organizations of the parish. We thank all
who gave us feedback on the surveys..
MARRIAGE RENEWAL MASS
- Next Sunday, February
15, at 11:00 am mass, we will honor those couples
celebrating 25, 40, 50, 60 and above anniversaries. We
have invited them & their immediate families to this
celebration and meal to follow. Please make them feel
welcome. This truly is a "Love Feast" - years of
faithful commitment blessed by God.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
- Representatives will be
addressing the congregation this weekend to solicit new
members for the Knights of Columbus. The DeSmet
Council which meets at St. Matthias Church has been
most generous in supporting the efforts of our school
with very generous grants. If you would like more
information, call Bob Wortmann (892-0070).
ECUMENICAL WORKSHOP CANCELED
-Due to a transfer
of 3 pastors in the Ecumenical Alliance of Southeast
County, we will not hold the workshop scheduled for
March 8. We are hoping to re-schedule for next fall
when schedules return to normal and new pastors are in
place. We regret this turn of events.
RE-HAB HELP NEEDED

re-habing an apartment for immigrant families. We need
help. Could you give us a hand on February 14 from

previous experience needed - just a concern for the
poor! We will leave MPB parking lot at 8:45am Teens

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

today's bulletin for a workshop to take place at MPB on

to reflect on whether we should continue to allow the
state to "kill in our name." Join us for this workshop
on "State Sanctioned Murder and the Moral Implications
of Killing in Our Name - Does the Death Penalty Enhance
or Demean the Value of Human Life.?"
