Weekend of 4/30 & 5/1
SUNDAY SCHOOL HELPS AT 10:00 MASS
This weekend at the 10:00 mass, our Sunday school students helped the congregation ask God for forgiveness with their "Sorry Song" put to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know it." Sunday was the last day of class for these little ones and, after their song, they went to their classrooms to celebrate the last day.
THANK YOU!
Throughout the spring and summer we will be honoring a volunteer who has dedicated his or her time to our parish family. This week's Unsung Hero is Jim Aust! To read all about Jim and his dedication to our parish check out this week's bulletin!
PARKING LOT EXPANSION!
We have now added some 30 parking spaces at the edge of the field on the South side of the building. With the hope that these will alleviate the tight situations that occur at weekend masses. They will be ready to use next weekend!

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY...
Please continue to pray for the young adults who spent the weekend at St. Colette for their Youth Renewal Retreat. They have been having a good time sharing their faith with each other and having some quality time with the Lord. Continue to pray for them as they carry their faith out into the world.
