A note from Emily Manner

Hi!  My name is Emily Manner.  I am an active St. Catherine's parishioner and a Notre Dame Academy senior.  I am collecting toiletries for the NDA annual trip to Appalachia, which takes place in December.

The students from NDA provide Christmas gifts and a party for families who are less fortunate.  Last year I saw there is a huge need for toiletry items.  I am putting together bags for each family.  I am hoping each bag can include full size items of bar soap, shampoo, toothpaste and a hair brush or comb.  In addition, I am hoping to have toothbrushes for all!   Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

*Items are being gathered in a bin located outside of the office

St. Catherine of Siena Parish
Thank you to all who baked or bought at last month's bake sale. It provided another $198 to our treasury, for the use of the parish. Your support is much appreciated.

St. John the Baptist Point Place
The Parish is in need of someone for minor repairs, changing light bulbs, cleaning, and some light hauling, and grounds work for the rectory and the church. This would probably only be a couple hours per week and may not be needed every week. There would be modest compensation, but no benefits. If interested please send resume to parish office or contact the Business Manager at sjbusmgr@bex.net or call 419-726-2034.

 ADVENT GIVING TREE Our Advent Giving Tree will be up on November 19. This is a little earlier than usual since the Advent Season is much shorter this year. We are going to help Salem Lutheran Church on Huron Street. Their outreach is wonderful and reaches out to some of the poorest people in the city. We will also be asking for gift cards so that we can help some of our own families within the parish and neighborhood. Please be as generous as you can in taking the special Christmas tree ornaments.

Library Village Activities
Augsburg Lutheran Church will be offering a free Thanksgiving Day meal for pick up or delivery.  Call Cindy (419)704-3114
