THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
JANUARY 25, 2015
ST ADALBERT’S NEEDS YOUR HELP!
We are looking for volunteers to help out in various aspects of the life of St. Adalbert’s parish. First of all, we
need helpers to assist with the decorating of the church
especially for Christmas and Easter—we pride ourselves
on a beautifully decorated church during the Christmas
and Easter seasons and we need more parishioners to
assist in this work. Secondly, we are in need of Eucharistic Ministers and Lectors—these are extremely important
functions and we welcome additional volunteers for either of these ministries. Finally, we are looking for some
additional volunteers to assist with the counting of the
weekly Sunday collections—the counting takes place
either on Sunday morning or Monday mornings and is a
vital function of our financial operations. If you are willing to give some time and energy to any of these good
works, please call either Betty or Nancy at the parish
office (860-745-2411).
