GREETINGS
FROM FR. BILL Spring
Plant Sale: All
right. You might think its too soon to
be worrying about Spring planting but its really not.
Our Spring plant sale will take place on May 22-23 and we need help from all
you gardeners. When youre starting your
own seeds,
would you please start some to donate to our plant sale as well. Herbs, flowers or vegetables would be great. Pictorial
Directory: For
quite some time, some members of our parish have been talking about the need for a new
pictorial directory. The last one was from
2002 and the pictures are a little out of date. I
believe that a pictorial directory is a great way for parishioners to get to know each
other. So many times it seems that
parishioners only know others who attend the same Mass on weekends. I know that a directory is essential for me to
continue to learn names and then put those names with faces.
At the present time, Im looking for a small group of people (two or
three) who would be willing to head up this project. Ive
already spoken with the people from Alaska
Church Directories
and they will show us what we have to do step by step.
If you have good organizational skills, this is a way you could really help
us out. Please let me know. Cancer
Hats: The
St. Jude Quilt and Chat Ladies have begun a new project in memory of Annie Heintzman (one
of our parishioners who recently died of cancer) to make hats available for cancer
patients who are undergoing chemotherapy. The
hats come in all different colors and patterns. This
is a ministry of these ladies and there is no charge for the hats. If you could use one or if you know of someone who
is undergoing chemo, please contact us at the office for a hat. Anyone, not just parishioners, are welcome to these
hats. Our
Lady of the Valley School needs Financial Help: Because
of our smaller than expected enrollment this year, our income has fallen short of what we
need to break even. We project a shortfall of
approximately $36,000. I want to appeal to all
of you to write a check to help Catholic education continue here in the Mat-Su Valley. Checks of any size would be welcome but it would be
wonderful if you could write out a check that would make my eyes pop. 2010 Census: As
members of this faith community and the communities in which we live and work, each of us
has a lot at stake as we prepare to complete our 2010 Census form. By participating, we can affect the quality of life
in our community for the better. When the
Census form arrives in the mail during March, please take the time to fill it out and
return it. Soup
Suppers and Stations: Every
Friday during Lent we will be saying the Stations of the Cross at 7:00 PM followed by Soup
Supper at 7:30 PM. Please plan to join us as
many times as you can. Feb 21, 2010 $8,351.96
Last Year Capital Fund $625.00 Food Bank $50.00
