Nominations for St. Boniface PPC Members At Large

St Boniface Parish Pastoral Council is seeking a diversity of candidates to run for members at large. Please consider if you would like to nominate someone or yourself for this two year position. The term begins in September. Members at large are expected to attend the monthly meeting (primarily by Zoom) of the joint St. Boniface and Assumption PPCs and to assume leadership responsibility with new or current initiatives of the PPC. We accept up to six nominations for the election of members at large each year.

To nominate someone or yourself, please contact Connie Tempel at [email protected] by Tuesday, May 16. For the candidates who will run, we need a one paragraph bio about yourself and a headshot photo that will be posted with the election information. This year voting will be electronic to minimize printing and mailing work for the office staff. However, if you prefer you can contact Carole Fabrizio in the office to vote.

Oratory Parishes Pickleball Open Play - Week 2

We had a great turn out last week with ten parishioners meeting to play pickleball in the ABVM hall on Thursday afternoon. We will be having our second session this Thursday from 4-6pm and look forward to seeing you. The sessions will be facilitated by Jason Manske, please email him if you have questions: [email protected].

As a reminder, it is important that everyone wears tennis / pickleball or other court shoes to play so as to preserve both the hall floor and your bodies. Ankle sprains are common with those playing in shoes that do not provide lateral support such as running shoes. Also please bring your own personal water bottles.

Save the Date - May 20th

We know you can't believe it, but our very own Gertrude Conway turns 100 this month! On Saturday, May 20th we, her parish family, will celebrate the 5:00pm Mass in her honor, with a special coffee hour to follow in the parish hall. All are welcome! Please come join and celebrate our dedicated friend...
