PALM FOR ASH WEDNESDAY
Do you have blessed palm from last year's Palm Sunday and don't know what to do with it? We ask that you bring it and place it on the tables at the entrances of church or drop by the Parish Office. We will burn it and use the ashes for Ash Wednesday.
ASH WEDNESDAY COLLECTION
A gift given to another brings joy to the hearts of both the giver and the receiver. It allows both to rejoice together. The giver can rejoice in acting on God's will to care for another. The receiver has joy in knowing they are not alone in their difficulties and that the wider Church cares about their wellbeing.

UPDATES NEEDED
We would appreciate any updates that you might have on family members who are sick. We also ask that you notify us upon admission of a family member into any hospital or nursing home or if you have a family member who has recently passed away and would like to have it posted in the bulletin.
We are looking to start a new ministry called " Meals on Wheels" once a week, for parishioners needing a hot meal. When I visit some of our people’s home who live alone and who depend upon canned food I felt that they deserve a good meal at least once a week. These are people mostly elderly and live alone. If you would be able to cook meals, package them up, and deliver it on a Saturday between 11:00 and 12:00 o'clock to approximately 7 people, please turn your name and phone number into the office. We are looking for 20 people or teams to get started. With 20, we would be able to rotate and only call on you once every 2-3 months. We would like to start this ministry on a trial basis soon, so if you and your family are called to cook and deliver please turn your name and phone number into the Parish Office by November 19 by calling 270-684-6888 or emailing Penny at pblandford77@gmail.com
