Noodle Making
Our next date will be Tuesday, May 26th beginning at 8:30 AM. Our young people will still be in
school so we will need many "helping hands" to assist us with this big project. We will make noodles
on Tuesday, June 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30. If you have some spare time, please come and join us. A light
lunch will be available for the workers. Donations of eggs and flour can be taken to the hall Mondays
after 3 PM. Thank you to all the volunteers who have helped with noodle making thus far.
Our Memorial Day program will begin as usual with Mass at 8:00 AM and the parade at 9:00 AM. However,
this year due to time constraints affecting several marching groups, the Memorial Service will
begin when those directly participating groups arrive at the cemetery. Members of the
community interested in being present for the service, should come to the cemetery at that
time. An announcement will be made over the PA system. Other parade units upon reaching
the school will be directed down St. Joseph’s street. Your cooperation and support will be
greatly appreciated.

Join us at choir in serving the Lord—considering all He does for us, it’s just a little giving
back to Him.
