need help setting up the Christmas trees, nativity, and other Christmas
decorations.

3.  On Sunday:  Sign up to help with the Christmas outreach.  We will be
giving out gift cards and certificates on Monday, December 21, from 10

4.  Thank you to those who have already turned in their Stewardship
Commitment Cards for 2010.  We want to finish up the Stewardship drive
as soon as possible.  This is about your commitment for the next year to
support the operations of Holy Innocents to enable us to continue the
work and mission of Holy Innocents.  Please turn in your cards as soon
as possible.  If it is easier for you, you can simply reply to this
email to tell us what your commitment will be or if you are unable to
make a financial commitment this year.  In any case, please continue to
pray for our church and our priests.

Thank you for your continuing support,
Gail Dimock
Pastoral Associate
