Based on ODB's new schedule, St. Mary's will continue to deliver casseroles once-a-month. Due to the reduced number of casseroles that we've been asked to provide and our assigned delivery dates, we'll only need to collect the casseroles every other month. As we used to do for Beans and Bread, casserole pans will be made available for pickup after each Mass on specified weekends. Everyone who takes a pan will need to return the frozen casserole to the Parish freezer by the following weekend. At this time, we plan to make the pans available on the weekend of March 6th and 7th. The frozen casseroles will need to be placed in the Parish freezer by Sunday March 14th. Please watch for future updates. If you have any questions, please contact Bob at crhoopert@zoominternet.net.
The Masses for the weekends are as schedule: Saturday & Sunday 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Masses will be held in the Parish Hall. The 9:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday will be held in the Church and will be live streamed. Hall with a limited capacity of 70. Church with a limited capacity of 40, depending upon household sizes.
Volunteers are the backbone of the parish and we welcome new volunteers with open arms. However, in the world today we must do everything we can to protect all people of all ages, the church and also yourself. If you are ready and willing to give of your time and talent, to be a part of one or more of our many ministries, please contact Barbara Sadler, Extension 22 or Barbara_stmarys@yahoo.com for the information and guidance of the required Virtus training. The training will provide insight for the protection of all age groups and the responsibilities. DON’T WORRY!! It is an easy procedure.

CEMETERY GUIDELINES: DURING MOWING SEASON In the next week or so we will be removing all flowers from the Christmas Season. There cannot be any planting of flowers or shrubs in the cemetery. Also, no glass containers or ornaments on the ground; only on the head stone and attached securely. During mowing season flowers can only be in vases on the side next to the stone; on the head stone or over the head stone. We will have no choice but to remove the above items if the guidelines are not followed. Thank you.
After many years of service Jim Janiski (Fry Room) and Julie Nelis (Children’s Games) have decided to step down as chairperson. Thank you both so much for your many years serving and giving of your time and talent. These positions require you to be here to set up, be present the day of the dinner, to take down and to attend the meetings, four times a year, planning and evaluation. You must also be Virtus Trained. Jim and Julie will be here to help in any way they can, answer your questions and guide you. We are also hoping to get a co-chair for these positions. Just a reminder: Last dinner we had to cancel the White Elephant because no one came forward. So, if you were unhappy because it was canceled, please consider this position also. Of course we cannot cancel the fry room so we really need someone to step up to the plate for all of these positions, especially the fry room. We are looking for a chair and co-chair for the fry room, children’s games and white elephant. If anyone is interested or would like more information, please contact Barbara, Ext. 22.
