The Knights of Columbus “Parish Project Day” for March will be on Saturday, April 12th, starting with a Mass at 8:00AM, followed by a continental breakfast by the Rosary Society, and then project work from 9:00AM until noon.
The projects for the this work day will be outside spring cleaning, and various painting jobs.
There is a need for more volunteers, especially younger adults, to help. This is a great opportunity for students over 16 years of age, who are looking for service hours. The work is not difficult, and the fellowship is great. Since it is painting, wear old clothes. In addition, we are saving the parish a considerable amount of money for labor. The parents of students are always welcome.
Stop by and lend a hand.
More info: call Len Kuzma, 474-2031.

CRS Rice Bowl brings Lent to life. CRS Rice Bowl is a Lenten faith formation program that helps us to live in solidarity with the poor and vulnerable around the world.
We pray to reflect on what type of person we are called to be. We fast to remove the things that get between us and God, and to remember those without enough to eat. We give to honor Jesus’ call to serve those in need.
CRS Rice Bowl Reflection: Haiti
This week, CRS Rice Bowl invites us to enter into solidarity with the people of Haiti. We are encouraged to reflect on the Catholic social teaching principle, Call to Family, Community and Participation, and reminded that, as social beings, we are called to seek God together. Let us pray this week for our brothers and sisters in Haiti and all around the world, that our families and communities may be strengthened and blessed.

ALL GREETING CARDS & ANY CHRISTMAS CARDS (RELIGIOUS & NON RELIGIOUS)
THE FRONT PANEL ONLY
“Save your greeting cards for St. Jude’s” By Hints from Heloise
Dear Heloise: Please remind people when sending
greeting cards not to write on the back of the FRONT PANEL. You can then remove the backs and mail the
card FRONTS to: St. Jude’s Ranch for Children 100 St. Jude’s Street Boulder City, NV 89005
Dear Writer: Thanks for the reminder for my readers not
to write on the FRONT PANEL, and to save the cards
(just the FRONTS, please) for such a good cause. St. Jude’s Ranch for Children is a wonderful organization. For more than 30 years, it has taken care of abused, abandoned, and neglected children. The old, donated card
FRONTS are glued to pre-folded stock paper and signed by the child who made it. The recycled cards are available for purchase at the online store at www.stjudesranch.org. The card project helps the kids earn some spending money and teaches them good work skills.

2014 Catholic Services Appeal (CSA)
We are asking that everyone contribute something to this years’ campaign. Our ideal goal would be that we hear from every family whether they can give a gift or not. Our secondary goal is to hear from 800 families which would be about 30% of families. Last year we had heard from only 550 families.
Won’t you please take the time to use the envelope, return it to us with your intention to help us reach our goal of raising $60,000? Once we reach that goal we can proceed with continued plans for new carpeting in the church.
As of this printing we have heard from 524 families. We hope to hear from at least 800. Let’s hear from you this week!
