The Parish Development Committee will present a slide presentation highlighting where we have been, where we presently are, and where we hope to be. Time for questions and answers will follow the presentation. This is a follow-up from the “Needs Assessment Survey” taken two years ago and following a directive from Bishop Conlon. The presentations will be no more than 1 hour. Light refreshments will be served.
30 HOUR FAMINE ~ “ON AN EMPTY STOMACH” Saturday, March 20, 8AM-6PM as part of the Famine youth will fast, do TRIBE CHALLENGES, collect food for our local “Loaves & Fishes” food pantry, community service projects, and Bible studies. By going without food, they get a taste of what the world’s poorest children and families face every day. Prior to the weekend the students raise funds knowing that every $30 they raise can help feed and care for a child for a month.
