Loaves and Fishes- WE NEED YOU!!
Tuesday, September 11th
Our parish will be serving a meal at Holy Rosary Church in southeast Minneapolis. Our serving crew has dwindled down to three people to help with the shift from 5pm - 7pm. If you have thought about helping in this ministry, now would be a good time to step forward. If you can commit to two hours a month for one year - a total of 24 hours a year, it would be great. If you can only drop in occasionally, that would be wonderful too. St Joseph's church has served meals once a month at this site for over 30 years. Please help us to continue to serve those that are currently in need of a nutritious hot meal. We welcome your presence and hope you will enjoy this meal with our guests. Please let me know if you can attend. Fay - 952-250-7613

Also HELP is NEEDED in another Area as well...
We are looking for someone to supervise the serving and clean up crew on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 4:45pm-7pm at Holy Rosary Church, Mpls. This is a commitment of 2 1/2 hours per month. Please contact
Fay
or
