KEEP BRINGING ALUMINUM CANS!  This past week the Tuesday Toilers loaded the truck and cashed in the bags of aluminum cans that have been brought to church.  The parish received a check for $1,355.00!  We could not reach such a generous amount without your help.  Thank you to everyone who brings cans to church.  The project supports two good causes: recycling aluminum and earning money for the church. 

TUESDAY TOILERS ARE THE BEST!  Thank you to our Tuesday Toilers for the many jobs they do around the parish.  Their help and skills save the parish a lot of money and the variety of jobs they do is endless.  As our campus ages, the needs increase.  Recently the men replaced the water mechanism in the baptismal font, installed a new sink in the rectory basement, fixed several broken cupboard doors, put insulation in the rectory attic and did some needed insurance inspection improvements.  New members are welcome and needed.  Check it out!  Meet in Kolbe Hall on Tuesday mornings at 9:00 AM.

LENTEN ALMSGIVING - Our goal this year is a 125% increase in our annual Lenten Almsgiving project.  We can share our blessings during our 125th Anniversary year by reaching out to the less fortunate.  Each week we will be collecting items for the needy.  Boxes will be at the doors of the church for your donation.  Watch the bulletin for the weekly list. 

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE NEW MINISTRIES available in our neighborhood?  Do you have ideas of what you would like to have offered and how to provide it or like to be involved yourself?  A planning session has been scheduled for Thursday, March 10 at 6:30 PM in Kolbe Hall.  All are welcome to share ideas and see what is being planned.
