St. Mary's Cares - Service Day

ST. MARY’S CARES

]

We are calling all parents, moms, dads, kids, handymen and handywomen, parishioners, the St. Mary’s Men’s Group, CCW, CHRP members, family and friends… to come out for a day of volunteer work on Saturday May 15th.
What better way to give back to your school and/or church by volunteering your time and skill by doing some work around the campus for ½ a day or so on Saturday, May 15th. We are starting at 8am, but please come by when you can, as we can sure use the help.

We promise to be well organized and make good use of your time.

There is one added benefit, besides that feeling of accomplishment to volunteering time during the day on Saturday. Working together to make our campus a better place for all involved with the school & church.

Here are some of the jobs we are looking to do complete on this day.

• Apply Mulch

• Planting

• Painting

• Install shelving

Beverages and snacks will be provided during the day.

Its important to contact one of the following if you can volunteer!

TOURNEY TIME IS HERE!!!!

March Madness is upon us and not a minute to soon. For the next three weekends our sports watching calendar has been laid out, all college basketball all the time. Whether or not you have seen 1 minute of a hoops game or not missed a minute of your alma mater, March Madness sucks you in. So, what a better way to kick off Opening Night, than to be with a bunch of friends.

It was a great venue last year so we thought, "If it ain't broke..."
