Volunteering for this event is not limited to Circles 2, 7, 11 call Rita or Laura if you can help. We are in need of dinner servers to work from 5pm to 7pm that night. Parish teens are especially encouraged and welcomed. This is a great way to fulfill service hours.

Just a reminder… members of Circle 2 will be saying the Rosary at the Health Center on Thursdays at 3pm during the month of February. Circle 3 leaders should be asking for volunteers to say the Rosary at the Health Center for the month of March. Circle 11 is the next in line for our funeral dinner rotation. The next A&R general meeting will be hosted by Circle 3 on Sunday, Mar. 4th at 1 pm in Roling Hall. Ladies please mark your calendars.
