Change “Fall Back” Sunday, October 29th
Dear parents and parishioners,
In
church you will find a current roster of bingo volunteers. You will notice that
there are several blanks indicating a need for workers for various areas of the
bingo game. Please take the time to review these rosters. If you have time
available to volunteer on one of these Sundays please place your name and
number in the blank spot and return it to the school office, or give it to Leo
Thurn after attending church.
I
would also like to take the time to personally thank all that are currently
helping with the bingo commitment, and those who have helped in the past.Although the bingo revenue is down at this
time it is an important Parish and School function to assist with those in need
of tuition assistance here at St. Mary’s Parish. The continuing education of
our children in the Catholic Faith is becoming more costly, and there are those
in need of assistance to continue with the Catholic Education of “Our”
children. I use the word “Our” because I feel it is important that all of the
children of St. Mary’s Parish have the opportunity to be educated in a school
as excellent as St. Mary’s.
Again,
thank you for taking the time to review these rosters and if you have the time
to commit to work please return this form immediately. I would also like to
note that we have discussed changing the starting time for our parish bingo to 6:30 pm. This would allow both our workers
and our players to arrive home earlier each night of bingo. I do not anticipate
this change for another month or two if we do this, but I feel it is important
for all that may be willing to make a commitment, and those that are currently
committed to the bingo, to have knowledge that there may be a change to the
bingo times.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Hilsheimer

Special Ticket Sale: Aaron Diehl, on of our school

today’s St.MarySchool students. He will give a benefit
concert at the RiffeCenter on Friday, November 10 at 7:30. Stop in the rectory after the
first and last masses next weekend for a little wine and cheese, and bring your
checkbook. Tickets will be on sale for $50.00. They will also be available in
the gym during the usual Sunday coffee klatch. Can’t stop in? Call Father
Thomas, or the school at 444-8994 to order tickets. We want to be sure our own
parishioners get to go to the concert before the public snatches all the
tickets up.
