2 FR. JERRY S CORNER frjerry@skdchurch.org The theme for this year s Bishop Appeal is Sharing the Light of Christ. Within the Bishop s Appeal is a category known as the Crozier Society, a crozier is the shepherd s staff that a bishop carries. Membership comes with a donation of $500 or more. If possible, I would ask that you prayerfully consider becoming a member. Your generosity helps the Diocese promote Catholic education and formation, counsel the troubled, provide adoption assistance, activities at Camp Tekakwitha for our youth, and assist parishes in their administrative tasks and so much more. Whether you consider an increase in giving or not, please accept my thanks for whatever you can give. Our goal for the 2014 Bishop s Appeal is $69,375. As a member of the Crozier Society join with me and Share the Light of Christ. The Feast of St. Katharine Drexel is Monday, March 3, but we will be celebrating it on Sunday March 2 after the 10:30 AM Mass at St. Mary. There will be cookies, cake, juice, coffee and the drawing. The funds raised from this raffle will help to cover budgeted expenses. To help us prepare for this feast day there is a bulletin insert in this bulletin that contains the Saint Katharine Drexel Novena. This novena begins on February 22 and ends on March 2. Join with me and other members of our parish and even St. Katherine Drexel as we reflect more deeply on our communion with God and one another. The next Christ Renews His Parish weekends are set so check your calendar and prayerfully consider attending. The men s weekend will be March and the women s weekend will be April This is a great opportunity to renew one s faith and have some fun at the same time. Come and make new friendships and enjoy some great food. The CD of the month is The Joy of Stewardship by Fr. John Lanzrath.
