RETURNING GOD'S GIFTS
The campaign is just underway, and already we are
making great strides here at Most Precious Blood. We
will continue our efforts to visit every household for
Returning God's Gifts on a one to one basis. To do
this and to continue our early success, we need your
help. At all the masses this weekend we are asking you
to participate as a campaign visitor. If you have
joined in other parish efforts, please volunteer again.
If you have never volunteered for anything in
connection with our parish, please help Returning
God's Gifts. Our campaign team of Dan Masterson,
Campaign Chairperson; Vince Doder, Campaign Recruitment
Chairperson; Pat Stamm, Campaign Secretary and many
team captains need your help. In the pews throughout
the church, you will see "Yes, I Volunteer" cards.
Please fill one out or call Vince Doder (845-7530) or
the rectory to volunteer. We need your help to make
the campaign a success.
