Greetings for the New Year!

1.  Thank you to all who turned in a Stewardship Commitment Card for
2012.  It is not too late to do so if you have been procrastinating!
At this point, the amounts pledged are 7% less than the amount pledged
last year ($318,000 this year -$340,00 last year).  The Finance Council
will be looking closely at the budget for the year ahead.

2.  Explorers 68 for kids in grades 6 through 8 will meet this Sunday at
6 pm.

3.  We need volunteers after the 10:30 Mass to help take down the
Christmas decorations:  the more the merrier — can count for community
services kids!

4.  Knight of Columbus Crab and Spaghetti Feast:  Saturday January 28,
tickets on sale after Mass, $25 each.  Profits will go to support their
pro-life outreach.

5.  Looking for something for Valentines?  Take your spouse to the
Valentine Dinner on Saturday, February 11.  Special speaker, Terry
Hershey, and a catered dinner.  Tickets $25 each available at the
Welcome Booth.

Get connected and enjoy yourself.
