THANK YOU TO OUR FAITHFUL VOLUNTEERS! Volunteers who assembled the March Lamplighter mailing: Vanya Fragiskakis, Annette Harakas, Evangelia Pikounis and Vicki Sarides Volunteers who assembled the Parish Assembly mailing: Ann Linardos, Annette Mitchell and Vicki Sarides We couldn t do it without you! Thank you Ricardo Daza and Javier Reyes of Metropolitan Custom Woodworks for donating your time and talent in building our beautiful new church donation box. Dear Parishioners: Some of our stewards have stated that they do not want to receive the Lamplighter via the U.S. Postal Service, as they prefer to access it online at stcatherine-wpb.org. This would also result in some savings in office expenses for paper, ink and labor. If you wish us to discontinue mailing the Lamplighter to your home please send an email to: StCatherineWPB@gmail.com. We will notify you each month and send you a direct link to the current Lamplighter. 21
