APRIL 17TH-18TH

We have our pre-ride tickets available today after all the Masses. We are also taking sign ups for donations, volunteers and booth sponsors. Please take a few minutes to stop by the tables and see how you can help us make the International Festival a great success.

 

The ushers will now hand out a book of raffle tickets to each person or family. If you each sold one book, we would make our needed goal.

 

The St. Vincent de Paul truck is in the parking lot, on the field to gather your donations. If you forgot, you can always go home and return with them. Thank you.

 

Fr. Dominic's concert returns to St. Agathas. He and his Dominican classmate Fr. John Paul, who grew up in our parish, will sing their unique a capella program, The Black & White Concert: a friendship in song, on Friday, May 14^th at 8pm in the church. Beginning with black and white spirituals, Dominic and John Paul share the music that brought them together and that has brought other black and white American together through the centuries. A free will offering will be taken, and CDs and DVDs will be available.

 

We are also taking sign ups for volunteers to help with the Parish Census on the first two week-ends of May. If you can give us 10-15 minutes after a Mass, please consider helping out.

 

Maggie has some Sees Easter candy for sale, gift certificates and candy. Please stop by the Youth table and see what she has left. The kids also have their fundraising cards for sale for $20.

 

Coffee and Donuts are in the hall.

 

APRIL 10TH -11TH

On April 17^th and 18^th, the St Vincent De Paul society will bring a truck to St. Agatha's parking lot to collect donations for their Thrift Store. They will be collecting a variety of items. If you have a storage unit and are tired of paying for it, empty it and give the items to St. Vincent de Paul. Gloria will need volunteers to help load the truck. If you can help, please give her a call. Her number is in the bulletin.

 

We are participating in a shoe collection for Haiti and Chili. The box is outside between the bathrooms. Please bring any shoes you would like to donate and place them in the box. Thank you for whatever you can do.

 

Our Fiesta is fast approaching. Next week we will have the raffle tickets and pre-ride tickets. Today, we have sign ups for booth sponsors and volunteers and donations. Please stop by the table behind the Church.

 

Next week we will have priest from Food for the Poor at all our Masses to share with us what they do in South America and the Caribbean.

 

Our Youth Ministry will be selling fundraising cards which are good for discounts at over 20 retailers in our area. Please stop and talk to one of the youth and see if this is something you could use and help them raise money for WYD.

  You can still pick up your See's Easter candy from the youth.

 

There is a delicious breakfast in the Hall this morning after all the Masses. Please support our ministries by buying donuts or breakfast.
