We are in need of volunteers for Service Saturday.
In conjunction with Ohio’s Make a Difference Day, volunteers
will help work on house projects throughout central Ohio for the elderly and most vulnerable
among us. Last year we worked on 16 projects and are looking to make an
even bigger impact this year! Mark your calendars for October 27 from 9am until 3:00pm. We can use your help, even if you have only a few
hours. We will meet at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in German Village between 8:30 and 9:00 AM for training and assignments.
Lunch will be provided at your work site. If you are unable to volunteer,
please consider making a tax deductible gift to St. Mary’s, and include Service
Saturday in the memo section. All money will go directly to helping
needy families have the homes they deserve. To Make a Difference
contact Jason Shanks at 445-9668, ext. 119. To volunteer, sign up in the
back of Church.
This weekend we welcome volunteers
from the Southside Community Ministries Food Pantry. They are here to express
their appreciation for St. Mary’s support of the Food Pantry. Seven churches
form the support of SSCM. St. Mary’s is responsible to man the food pantry on
the second to the last Saturday of each month, and we need more volunteers.
Won’t you consider giving 1 ˝ hours a month to help your needy neighbors?
Please call Jeanne Sauer 253-6815.

Beginning with “How do we talk about mystery?” on October 7, Father
Edmund Hussey will continue presentations/discussions on: “Is death natural or
