Pastorate Faith Formation Leaders (Deanne), Sandy (our business manager), Carol (our parish representative), and others from our Pastorate had a chance to get together, reflect, and make plans on August 13th, as Father John led a staff/volunteer retreat from 9:00-3:00 at the Barn on the Bluff near Elkader.
On Saturday, August 17th, there was a Pastorate Liturgy meeting—attending was Deanne W, Rosalee B, Don V from St. Patrick’s. We will be having ministry refresher trainings coming up in the next few months.
Eucharistic Ministers, lectors, and servers, please remember to go to the sacristy at 7:50 and sign in.

Stewardship
Pay it Forward
In June, we collected $180 in our Pay it Forward collection, which we added to our Soles for Young Souls collection box of $395. The total of $575 was given to Ed-Co school to buy shoes for students. Thank you to all that donated to that worthy cause!

The $119.00 collected in the August Pay it Forward collection went to the Luke Baade family. Luke is doing well; he is still undergoing treatments in Iowa City. Please keep the prayers going for Luke and his family.
SCRIP
Thank you to all that have supported our Scrip program. After the August 4th Mass, there was a total of $2910 in Scrip sold for that weekend. There was $500 sold after the August 18 Mass. So far, the total sold has been $2500 in July and $3410 in August. A percentage of the total sold goes toward the building fund. We're off to a great start. Thanks again for the support. Please remember to find Deanne and Sandy after Mass every Sunday, as we have plenty of Scrip on-hand, and if we don't have what you'd like, we are glad to order it! Cards for this weekend are shown below.
