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

If you have photos from the first day of school, fall sports, field trips or any other school events that you would like to share with us for use in the annual school yearbook, please send them to [email protected]



Please welcome Casleen to Ms. Mary and Ms. Amy's class!

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 [email protected] or call 419-726-2034.

We will also be asking for gift cards so that we can help some of our own families within the parish and neighborhood.
