2015 MARONITE CALENDARS

ARE IN

No home should be without a calendar that tells

you about our Maronite Feast Days and special

Holy Days. A beautiful feature this year is the

dedication of a Maronite Saint for each month with

details about their lives. One other good idea, why

not give a Maronite Calendar to a friend as a gift

and this way you get to share our beautiful

traditions with them. We request a donation of

only $5.00 which gives support to the Office of

Vocations. These new calendars are in the

Sacristy. Ask Subdeacon or the Deacons for help.

Thank you for your generous offering.

********************************************

CEDARS SAVINGS CARDS

Youth, half of the proceeds will go toward their

fundraising needs!

So, get a valuable stocking stuffer in the next several

weeks from our youth and help them raise some

needed funds for the coming year!

FOOD DONATIONS!

Our food collection is for those in need for

I want to thank all the members of the Ladies Guild

and all the members of the Men’s Club who were able

to attend the Christmas dinner last Saturday. Thank

you all for coming together and helping to make the

evening so enjoyable. Our visit together in the Sun

Room with all the excellent food beginning with a

wonderful selection of snacks, followed by the fine

main course and all the wonderful variety of desserts

and beverages. Thanks to our good entertainer and

music leader for our Christmas sing along, almost

worthy of a recording.

I give out an extra thank you to the team who

decorated the Sun Room and did all the set up and took

care of the clean-up at the end. God bless all the good

you keep doing.

The Ladies Guild and the Men’s Club are truly very

valuable to our Parish. Thank you so much for all the

good you keep doing for me and for all our Parish.
