Congratulations to Father John on his 40th year Ordination celebration last weekend! We are blessed to have you serve our Parish. You have done so much for our families, our pastorate, and our parish! (shown above is a picture of Father with his new stole with all 5 parishes on it)
Please fill out the Parishioner Involvement & Opportunities Survey (formerly known as Time & Talent) this week.
This is for every parishioner. It takes only 2-3 minutes of your time.
Thank you!
Quick St. Patrick fundraiser
We are happy to serve the WMT Tractorcade that is coming through Colesburg in the afternoon on Tuesday, June 11. We will need cookies and bars from several people, as there is typically 400 participating in this event. If you'd like to volunteer a little time to help serve, please contact Carol Steger. We are looking for a few people between 1:00-5:00. Thank you

Liturgical Ministry
Eucharistic Ministers, please check to see how many are needed each week. It's that time of year, that only one form of Eucharist might be offered; it also depends on Deacon Paul's schedule and Father's ability to distribute.
Thank you to all for your ministries.
