To our dear snowbird winter residents, please notify the church office by phone 561.833.6387 or email StCatherineWPB@gmail.com when you have returned to Florida so that we can update our files and begin sending mailings to your Florida address. Thank you! 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. REMEMBER THE CHURCH IN YOUR WILL! 27
