New Parish Photo Directory: Everyone who attends mass at St. Michael’s is invited to sign up for a photo session with Amanda Dale! On the bulletin board and on our website are the sign up sheets and prices for prints. These photos will be used for our 40th anniversary commemorative photo directory in the Fall. If you don’t want a session you can also submit a recent photo to patti@smsebree.org.
Fr. Carmelo out this week: Fr. Carmelo is celebrating his grandmother’s 100th birthday in Mexico and will return May 12th. Contact Patti if you need help finding a priest for anything. There will be no weekday masses or adoration.
Photos for Slideshow: During the 40th anniversary celebration we would also like to have a slide show going of pictures from over the years. Please dig out some of your photos of parish life. If you give them to Jenny Glenn in an envelope with your name on it then she will scan them and return them to you.
Knights of Columbus Raffle: The Knights are selling raffle tickets $5/each for a washer and a dryer or for $500 as a fundraiser. The drawing is on Mother’s Day.
Youth Group Summer Plans: Our middle & high school youth group would like to take a pilgrimage & fun trip to St. Louis as well as a Holiday World trip over the Summer. Would you like to be a chaperone? Ask Patti how! Or would you like to donate toward the trip for those that can’t afford it? Donations are welcome! The youth are also looking for service projects over the summer. Please let Patti know if you have an idea of something they could help with.
