Thank YOU!

Brother Knights - 

Thank you to the Brother Knights that were able to participate in our 5th Sunday Rosary before Saturday morning Mass.  Since October is observed as Respect Life Month we prayed a Rosary for Life:  meditating on the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary as a prayer for all life, from conception to natural death.  It was very well received and we hope to continue the practice of the Knights leading the rosary on the 5th Sunday.  A special thanks to Brother Bob Svoboda for helping to lead the rosary.

Volunteer(s) Needed
 
A volunteer opportunity request from our Parish Administrator, Oscar Gushiken
Possibly a good fit for a parent of a child in Life Teen.
Please prayerfully consider and let Oscar know.

************************************************************************************************* 

Gentlemen,

Akunna, Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries, has a LifeTeen session Sunday evenings.  In the Fall it is usually dark by that hour and it would be good if we could have one volunteer to help make sure kids get into vehicles and wait for Akunna to lockup.  LifeTeen is on Sundays from September - May.  The volunteer would only need to be here toward the end of LifeTeen from 8:15 pm to 8:45 pm.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Warm regards,

Oscar A. Gushiken
Business Administrator
