COMMUNITY NEWS FOR December 8

Dear Friends,

Before you get thoroughly exhausted from ‘shop till you drop’ please don’t forget our annual Toy Drive to benefit the children at Star of Hope Mission.  You can extend your Christmas cheer by:

1. Make a donation through FAITH DIRECT
2. Use this Amazon link to order toys from the ‘Wish List” that will be mailed directly to St. Catherine’s
3. Drop off NEW, unwrapped toys to St. Catherine’s when you are coming to Mass

All the toys collected will be picked up on the morning of December 16th by Star of Hope and delivered to their warehouse for volunteers to wrap before distribution to the shelters.

Also, we have our regular monthly Food Drive this weekend too. Please leave your non-perishable food items in the church by the statues to your right or left as you enter.

The second collection at all Masses is to support the Fund for Retired Religious.

Tis the season for giving – hopefully all these requests don’t leave you suffering from charity fatigue. Whatever you can give is always most appreciated.

During the 8:30am Mass this Sunday 12/8/24 we will welcome George Pawelek Hoppe into the Church through the sacrament of Baptism. Congratulations to his parents Laura and Nathan Hoppe, his godparents Nicole Hoppe and William Jorn who by their example and encouragement will bring his faith to full stature as we all bear witnesses to Christ before the world.

God bless,

Fr. Niall
