I thank Stephanie Mann for her continued dedication to our parish youth. She recently took 15 of our youth to Jenkins, Kentucky to assist with the ministry of the Missionaries and Charity. While there they worked with impoverished community by providing clothing, blankets, the serving of food, work in the food pantry, led song, conversation, and most of all brining the love of Christ. As a parish community I hope that we find ways to support her important ministry to the parish. She is always in need of volunteers and hopes to lead a trip in the near future to bring out youth to visit the seminary in St. Louis in which Deacon Zach currently attends.
Secondly, I want to draw attention to the Fall Fellowship Committee meeting which will be held Monday, January 20, at 6:30pm. This will be the first meeting of this committee and will hopefully get the ball rolling for our 2020 Fall Festival. We are still in need of someone who is willing to chair this committee. This past Fall Festival was a great coming together of our parish community to build up fraternity and making outreach to our local community. I hope that we will continue to build upon the success of what we were able to accomplish in 2019.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
