Parish Council

2nd Friday of Lent, March 6th

St. Patrick's Fish Fry

Thank you to the Earlville group for coming to make the fish and ff. We only pay for the food used. The group takes back the fish and ff not needed, so there is no wasted food or expense. We are thankful they are coming! We will be serving cod, ff, coleslaw, macaroni/cheese, corn, applesauce dinner rolls, desserts.

50/50 Raffle tickets $5 each--for sale after Mass or at the Farmer's Savings Bank. Drawing will be 8 pm on March 6th.

Food Drive will also be in conjunction with the Fish Fry. Bring your non-perishables and receive $1 off per paid dinner. Thank you in advance!

Thank you everyone for the great support; all volunteer openings have been filled, and all food donation slips have been taken as well.

Our pastorate website is going through a few changes. Please don't forget to check it out for news, bulletins, homilies, information, pictures, and more!

Thank you to all that were able to attend our parish town hall meeting on Feb. 11th. We had 44 parishioners in attendance. We shared our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. We are blessed to have more strengths and opportunities than ever before!

You will notice the Parish Center campaign goal thermometer. We will update it every two months. Our goal is $250,000 with $131,102 donated so far.

Please consider running for St. Patrick's Parish Council, Faith Formation Committee, or Parish Life. It is a GREAT way to BE CHURCH! If you are interested in running, please contact Sandy, John, or Deanne for more information.

Faith Formation

Faith Formation 7th - 12th grade students were able to join Elkader classes on Feb 12th by Zoom meeting over the computer. There was a panel of people that spoke about their service and calling to God and the Catholic Church. It was very interesting to listen to everyone's story. We are grateful to St. Joseph's for allowing us to join.

Reminder: Our K-12 Faith Formation classes will be held on Wednesday evenings in March and April from 6:45-7:45.

Stewardship

Our food drive this spring will be in conjunction with our fish fry. Please help support our local food pantries by bringing non-perishables to the fish fry. You will be helping others, plus you will get a $1 discount/food item for each paid fish dinner. If you forget or are unable to donate that night, we will have a tub in the back of the church. Please be generous to help feed those in need.

Pay it Forward collection in Feb: we will be sending $80 to a food pantry from that collection.

Old eye glasses can be put to good use. We will be collecting eye glasses, so if you have a pair or two lying around, please bring them to Mass during Lent. There is a donation container in the back of church.

Our sympathy to David Engelken's family. We are saddened at the loss of David this past month. Our prayers to his family.

SCRIP

We continue to have Scrip for sale after each Mass in the parish center. Thank you for your continued support for our Scrip fundraising efforts.
