Do you ever get the feeling that you are not enough? Not smart, pretty, or good enough…We all have these feelings from time to time, usually because we’re comparing ourselves to others. But God doesn’t compare you to anybody else. He wants to help you become the person He created you to be—perfectly yourself! Together we will find balance between accepting ourselves and striving to become all God dreams for us to become.

February 8/9
Collecting Personal and Household Supplies

People who are in need of food are also in need of other basic supplies. To relieve some of their distress we are making an adjustment to our collection pattern. Every few months, beginning with February, we will collect basic personal items and household cleaning supplies which can be distributed by Saint Catherine and the Catholic Worker House along with the food we offer. Below are some suggested items most of which may be found at any dollar store.

PERSONAL SUPPLIES
toothpaste/toothbrushes
dental floss
bath soap
lotion
deodorant
shampoo/conditioner

HOUSEHOLD SUPPLIES
laundry detergent
cleanser
dish soap
toilet tissue
bowl cleaner/brush
cleaning/disinfecting solutions

DID YOU KNOW? Just beyond our boundaries is The Catholic Worker House in Allison Hill. Their need is much greater than ours and because of your generosity, we are able to share our abundance with them each month.

Our Knights of Columbus will have subs available after each Mass on February 1st and 2nd. Italian and Turkey subs made by Mutzabaugh’s Market. Subs are $6 each. Get your meal for the big game and help support the Knights’ work in our parish.

Tuesdays • February 4-April 7, 2020
9:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m. • Leo Hall

Join us for this do-it-yourself retreat which combines the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius with the teachings of Saints Therese of Lisieux, Faustina Kowalska, and Louis de Montfort.
