The bulletin for March 16, 2008 is available by clicking here to view it.

Listed below are a few of the items from this week's bulletin. See the bulletin for more details and to read all of the announcements.

PANTRY: Once again this month, we asked for toilet articles in the Reverse Collection. We are the only pantry that has these articles, and they are much appreciated. We always try to include as a bare minimum, a bar of soap and a roll of toilet paper in each pantry bag. Other toilet articles are given out as they are requested, but no one should have to beg for soap and toilet paper. Since we distribute 250 bags a month, that is a lot of soap and toilet paper.

PASTORAL CARE MINISTRY: The Pastoral Care Committee wants to develop a program where Holy Comforter parishioners can demonstrate their giving spirit by ministering to each other. There are times when we can use extra help because of illness, having had surgery, or a child is born, for example. If you are able to prepare a meal or provide a ride, you qualify to be part of this giving ministry. We need a list of people who are available to help when one of our own is in need. The Lenten season is a a special time to consider what we can do to help our Holy Comforter family. A sign-up sheet will be on the table in the The Commons. Please sign up to make a meal, provide a ride, or help coordinate this program. There are no age or gender restrictions -- all are welcome to join this giving group. You will truly be spiritually rewarded.

FIRST EUCHARIST PREPARATION: First Eucharist Classes will begin on Saturday, April 5th at 9:30 a.m. For more information, contact Teresa Ritzert.

CHRISTIAN FORMATION: Christian Formation classes are in DESPERATE need of volunteers to help set-up and break-down classes on Sunday mornings. It is a ten-minute commitment. Please sign-up in the Commons for any Sunday when you can spare a few minutes to help our youth and catechists. For more information, contact Teresa Ritzert.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS: The next meeting will be held Monday, March 17th at the Stone Chapel next to the Church of the Incarnation which is located behind Toys 'R' Us on US 29 North off of Hillsdale Drive. Recitation of the Rosary will be at 7:15 p.m., and the meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. If you are interested in joining the Knights, contact Joe Murray (971-2737), Tom O'Rourke (244-2852), or Jim Morrisard (973-6570).
