Super Bowl BBQ


Brothers,

We will be taking pre-sale orders for Angus Briskets (whole and 1/2) until Sunday evening, January 28th, 7 pm.  We are also taking pre-orders for our regular BBQ items for those that want to ensure we will have their Super Bowl Sunday meal items available.   If you hear of anyone wanting to place an order please refer them to Brother Greg Nemec or myself.  We will need a lot of help with the Super Bowl cook the weekend of February 3rd and 4th and will appreciate any and all assistance available.

If you are able to assist with pre-orders this coming weekend or next please let me know (832) 755-8239 or come out to the plaza after the Mass you attend.


Thanks,
GK David Hobson
  
Upcoming Events - REMINDER 


Brothers,

Lent is fast approaching which brings with it the Mardi Gras Pancake Cook and weekly Fish Frys.  Please let me know if interested in chairing or co-chairing either event.  As you know - the Fish Fry is our number one fundraiser of the year and takes many hands to ensure its success.  With a few years now under our belt the ordering process and handling of product should be much more smooth this year.  Please prayerfully consider and let me know (832) 755-8239.

Upcoming Meetings


Brothers,

Our Sacred Heart Lenten Mission is scheduled for Monday through Wednesday, February 26th - 28th.  During this time Father Joseph has asked no meetings be held so all can attend the mission.  Please note that our 4th Tuesday KC Business Meeting, normally held 2/27, will be moved to the 3rd Tuesday in February, 2/20.  The 2nd Tuesday Mardi Gras Pancake Cook on 2/13 will be considered our Council/
Social Meeting.


Thanks,
