WELCOME TO ALL OUR NON-PRACTICING CATHOLICS AND ALL NON-CATHOLICS: We will be having a Scriptural service and distribution of Ashes at noon on Ash Wednesday. Let your friends know they can come. I am putting an ad in the paper for this purpose. Ashes is a sacramental and anyone with a desire to walk more faithfully with the Lord in their lives are welcome to receive Ashes. PAYING OFF OUR REMODELING DEBT AT CEDAR: We need a great GALA, Greater than normal. If you have given to the GALA in the past, please do so again. If you have not donated...consider making a cash donation or a grain donation this year. The Campaign is so very important. It s importance is made even more evident when we get to budget season and find that we cannot use any of the money from the truck raffle to help pay our teacher salaries. Did you know that the Truck Raffle has already paid for half the remodeling? We just want to pay off the remainder of the debt so that the truck raffle can go to paying for the running of Cedar. A greater than normal GALA will help all our schools with their budgets. FAMILY FORMATION NEXT SESSION: APRIL 3. THE TOPIC WILL BE HOLY WEEK.
