Planting Our New Landscape
March 17, 2018 Great day for digging in the dirt. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
On St. Patrick's Day, seventy eager parishioners gathered at 8:00 in the morning, shovels, gloves, and trowels in hand, ready to tackle the hundreds of shrubs, bushes, and ground cover plants waiting to beautify our new beds. The day was overcast, the rains from previous days leaving the ground soggy, but that did not deter anyone. All "dug in" with zeal, forging mud and rain sprinkles, diligently working to get the beds ready for Easter.
Thanks to the many who came, most of whom are not pictured here. And a huge thank you to the crew who prepared a chili-dog lunch for everyone!
Spring Cleaning!
Time to clean out your closets, kitchen cabinets, and hall closets. Your extra "stuff" can be used at homes where others have very little. We are always in need of kitchen supplies, linen, bedding, towels, and beds. Bring your extra household items to our furniture/household goods module located in the back of the church on the second and fourth Saturday every month between NOON and 2PM. Smaller items can be dropped off at the parish office during normal business hours. Extra clothes can be brought to the St. Pauly Used Clothing Shed on the North end of the property. Thank you and God Bless your generosity. Deacon Mike
