Invitation to Stewardship - 2023

Our 'Stewardship campaign' or the 'Treasure' part of our Time, Talent and Treasure program began this week.

Please consider doing a formal pledge. It helps us to better plan our budget for the year and plan the many programs for Mary of Magdala and our 301 Faith Partners

If you did not receive a pledge packet, there are some available at Mass. You can also access the online pledge form here or a down-loadable form here.

301 Faith Partners Fellowship Get Together

This month's social will be at Mythmaker Brewing located at 1035 S. Taft Hill on Thursday, February 9 at 3:30 pm.

Mythmaker has several varieties of brew and the brews are on site and fresh! They also carry some snacks, but customers are invited to bring their own.

And to repeat, these gatherings are all inclusive! That's what fellowship in our 3 churches is all about! Bring your wife! Bring your husband! Bring your partner! It's all informal and fun and we try a different meeting pub every month! Let's get to know each other and have some cheer! No pressure attendance, no RSVP necessary. It's Valentines month! We love 301 Fellowship!

Additional Irish Elementary Volunteers Needed
