Parish Bulletin Article: "New Needs and Wants": 9-22-19

           We always need our family and team to grow, primarily through stewardship: time, talent, and treasure.  As we begin a new season, here are some wants/needs at St. Thomas Aquinas parish, school and St. Columban parish.
·     St. Thomas Aquinas:
o  We need more sacristans, Eucharistic Ministers, servers, musicians, usherswith your time and talent
o  We need more people with our different committees/counsels: Financial, Worship, Tabernacle, Cemetery, Grounds, and Buildings, Funeral Lunches
o  Finally, please continue to invite and welcome more of our brothers and sisters to come back to Mass!
·     St. Thomas Aquinas School:
o  Playground supervisionMonday-Friday 12:00-12:30pm (please check in with our Mr. Jerry Hilfer)
o  Box Topsfor Education Coordinator and keep bringing in your box tops (please check in with Mrs. Heather McBride)
o  Saturday/Sunday Scrip Sales in both parishes after Masses
o  Level Classroom Reading Materialsusing RIT Scale (please check in with Mr. Jerry Hilfer)
o  Direct/Manage/Lead Fund Raiserslike:
§ Rake-a-Thon: Friday, October 4th from 12:30-3:00pm
§ Phone-a-Thonwith our Alumni Campaign (ETA)
§ For Alumni: it would be awesome to speak with 2-4 other alumni people to offer a monthly donation.  We will grow with our communication around our country.  To do so, we would combine their addresses, emails, and phone numbers to streamline our relationship with those who went to St. Thomas Aquinas School
§ Grocery Bagging(the day before Thanksgiving)
§ Catholic United Raffle(spring 2020)
o  Library Book Leveling Project(please check in to Mr. Jerry Hilfer)
·     St. Columban:
o  Sign up to offer cookies, donuts, and coffeeto continue to have some more socialization after Mass
o  Discern your stewardship to continue to help our parish grow
o   I would like to see more parishionersbring up the bread, wine, and water at Mass
o  Serve on our Parish or Financial counsels or Funeral Lunches 
o  Just like St. Thomas Aquinas, please continue toinvite and welcome more of our brothers and sisters to come back to Mass!
Finally, if you have not yet registered at St. Thomas Aquinas or St. Columban, please do so.  Doing this would help our offices, and you can coordinate the more ways to help with your stewardship: time, talent, and treasure.
God Bless!
