For more information, visit http://www.cvillecatholic.org/auctionupdate2010/.

AristotlePHILOSOPHY CLUB:  The Philosophy Club has moved to daylight hours!  We now meet the second Sunday of the month at 12:30 p.m. (right after the 11:00 a.m. mass) in the Bernard Moore Room.  All are welcome to join us at any time.  At our next meeting, on March 14th, we will discuss St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica, Question II and Question III, Articles 3 and 4, on the existence of God.
Please contact Suzanne Bailey (sbailey@nlrg.com or 296-5033) with any questions.

IMPACT LogoIMPACT:  Mark your calendars!  The IMPACT Nehemiah Action Assembly takes place at U-Hall on Monday, March 22.  Although the program starts at 7:00 p.m., it's a good idea to plan to arrive at 6:15 to park and sign-in.  Even if you have ignored all the other IMPACT programs this year, your attendance at Nehemiah is crucial.  IMPACT works to bring justice for the poor through the power of numbers -- a very large number of people of faith.

Canned goodsPANTRY:  The amount of food we receive from the government has increased lately, but that doesn't mean we can eliminate the pantry bags provided by the parish.  We always need protein foods like tuna and chunky soups, and toilet articles are especially welcome.  It's amazing how many people ask for soap and toilet paper, and how pleased they are when we tell them those items are automatically included in all pantry bags.

Father Blot and our twin parish of St. Michel are helping to support about 500 refugees in the community through care at the clinic and education at St. Michel School. Watch for updates and recent pictures at the Haiti table. Updates on relief efforts are being posted on the Saltadère website, www.saltadere.org.

ANNUAL DIOCESAN HAITI GATHERING:  St. Thomas Aquinas is hosting the Diocesan Haiti Gathering on March 20th. Please take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about the work of our diocese in Haiti. The new bishop of Hinche (sister diocese to Richmond) will be a speaker. Help is needed with all aspects of organizing this all day event. To register, call Patrice at (804)545-5974 or email patrice.schwermer@cccofva.org.
