Easter flower envelopes are available at the entrances of the church. Parishioners are invited to write the names of their loved ones. They will be published on Easter Sunday in the bulletin. We ask that you place them in the collection by Palm Sunday. We invite parishioners to bring their Lenten sacrificial giving into their weekly shopping. The St. Vincent de Paul Society invites parishioners to donate certain food items each week during Lent. This will allow the needy families of our parish to get adequate bags of food each week that we need for our food pantry. SUNDAY, MARCH 10 canned tomatoes, canned soups and beef stew SUNDAY MARCH 17 canned beans and peanut butter SUNDAY, MARCH 24 canned fruit and tuna fish ST. JAMES AND ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST BLOOD BANK TO BE HELD AT ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST CHURCH HALL ON SUNDAY, MARCH 10 FROM 8 A.M. TO 12 : 30 P.M. The blood donated is available to any parishioner. With many elderly people in the parish, this need provides an opportunity for the younger members to contribute a livesaving gift. Who can donate blood? Anyone 16 years or over who is in good health. Anyone with a history of cancer or anyone on antibiotics may not donate. How long does the procedure take? It takes 45 minutes. The procedure includes an interview to confirm elegibility, the donation, and the rest period after. At the interview the technician will ask you about any medications you are taking and any illnesses you may have had. Last year we had 5 donors. This year let St. James increase the amount of a life giving gift to all. There are sign up sheets on the bulletin boards to reserve a time. |
