The generosity of so many people was evident not only at the event, but is visible every single day with the ongoing dedication of serving the specialized needs of the children in our parish. The gifts have come in the form of time, talent, donations, in-kind gifts, creativity, networking, sponsorships, tutoring, and volunteering. A special thank you to the committee chaired by Karen Steinbrunner and Laura Farnham with the assistance of Sarah Moore and Allie Wing. I would also like to recognize Dixie and Clark May for sharing their SPICE story at the Corks event with beautiful pictures of their three children.
In response to the survey a few weeks ago Officer Bruce McKenna will be offering a one hour presentation on the school safety techniques and procedures we follow at Saint Brigid School. Following the information session there will be an opportunity for questions. Please see the story below for details and to RSVP.
As we continue on our Lenten journey remember to "Choose Kind" and to pray for each other and all of those in need of prayers.
Blessings,

An Evening with Officer Bruce McKenna
Saint Brigid School is offering an informal presentation to highlight some of the ways our school has prepared to keep our students and staff safe. Please join us for a short presentation on
Monday, March 26th from 7:00 - 8:00 pm
followed by a Q & A session from
8:00 - 8:30 pm.
The presentation will take place in Enke Hall in the school. Dublin Police Officer Bruce McKenna will review the principles that have been taught in our school and also to local businesses. These principles can be utilized in any setting. While it is unlikely that you will ever need to use these techniques, we realize the more prepared you are the better. It is also important for you to understand the techniques your children are being taught.

Special Red Cross blood drive held for Bishop Watterson
student battling leukemia
The community is invited to give blood in honor of Troy Stemen at a special American Red Cross blood drive held in his name
Sunday, March 18, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Northwest Chapel - Grace Brethren Church in Dublin.
Troy, a 16-year-old sophomore at Bishop Watterson High School, loves sports and computer games. He is known for his upbeat, positive attitude, and he has become a strong fighter. In May 2017 he was diagnosed with leukemia. Troy has received blood transfusions during his treatment and may need more.
Troy's family and friends are organizing a blood drive in his name to raise awareness about how important blood donors are in the treatment of cancer. "We hope all those people who have been affected by cancer will donate at this blood drive," said Peigi Fisher-Hanson, a Stemen family friend. "There is a strong community here in our schools and many who want to see Troy and others find a cure."
"There are so many reasons why someone may need blood that we don't even realize," said Janelle Bowman, donor recruitment account manager for the Red Cross. "We take for granted that blood will be there at the hospital when we need it, but it can only come from generous volunteer donors. Giving blood in Troy's name is a wonderful way to honor him and potentially help others with his condition."
Every two seconds in the United States blood is needed to respond to patient emergencies, including accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease. The Red Cross must collect nearly 14,000 blood and platelet donations every day for the patients at about 2,600 hospitals nationwide.
Donate Blood in honor of Troy Stemen
Sunday, March 18, 2018
10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Northwest Chapel - Grace Brethren Church

A huge thank you to all of the parishioners who donated to the Ash Wednesday/Lenten food drive! Our EPIC kids brought 1,887 lbs of food to the Dublin Food Pantry on February 25. It was an amazing collection and will equate to about 1,500 meals for Dublin residents. Thank you also to all of our parent drivers!
Our next EPIC meeting will be on March 18 when we will go to the Dublin Retirement Village and The Grand to spend time with the older adults there. We will serve them ice cream, help with a St. Patrick's Day/Spring craft, and play some trivia. We are in great need of drivers. Please contact Kim at [email protected] to volunteer or to RSVP for your EPIC student. |

March 8: Care of the Elderly
We are facing an unprecedented situation in the United States. At the beginning of the twentieth century, one in every twenty-five people in the United States was 65 or older. Today one in eight-a total of 33.2 million Americans-is at least 65. A person who reaches 65 can expect to live for seventeen more years; many live well beyond that. Society is just beginning to grapple with the social, economic, and spiritual implications of this rapidly growing age group. The United Nations designated 1999 as the International Year of Older Persons with the theme, "Towards a Society for All Ages." The Vatican urged Catholics to make a new commitment not only to care for older persons but to learn from them. The United States Bishops wrote a Pastoral Letter (available online entitled Blessings of Age). The third in our Lenten Series addresses this issue. Debbie Cassel, Administrator and Julie Ann Nill, Community Outreach Director from Glenwood Alzheimer Special Care Center will be our speakers and will address elderly in our society and share some issues particular to the Glenwood Center. Thursday, March 8 in Hendricks Hall 7:00 - 8:30 PM.
