A Fond Farewell
by Father Ted
This week, I went back and read the E-News articles I wrote last May and June. Since Fr.

Throw In
A Towel
As we move back into our nave, let’s help the folks who are moving into St. Jude, Austin Street, Genesis Women’s Shelter and other partner agencies. Each of these agencies has requested new bath towels for incoming clients to help ease the transition to a new place.
Please bring new full-sized bath towels and bath sheets (no washcloths or hand towels) to church for us to collect on February 22-23 and March 1-2.

Eucharistic Visitor: Is It For Me?
You are invited to ride-along with a Eucharistic Visitor on a Sunday. This is your chance to experience how "we who are many are one body" by carrying the Eucharist to parishioners who are unable to attend the service. This is a great way to discern if this is a ministry that would be a good fit for you.
