In addition to that, thank you to Ron Boyce and Bob Kish for helping with the membership drive on top of the Breakfast.

For part two of the drive, next week we'll hold a St. Patrick's Day Ice Cream and Cookies Social, at St. Clare's, noon to 4:30 pm.  Bring your prospects you met at either the SJF or St. Clare's Breakfasts!  It should be quite the fun time, with movies for the kids and the Lego Church project.  Catholic Daughters will have a presence, and we can talk to people in a more relaxed setting.

Still need help for the Breakfast and Membership Drive, St. Clare's March 10-11

We can still use some help!  People to stand at the doors to the church at 6pm after Mass on Saturday, March 10, or Sunday 9:30am and 11:45am, to hand out brochures, reply cards, etc.

Also still needed is help for the Breakfast, I still have slots available for Shift 2 (8am-10:30 am) and Shift 3 (10:30am-2pm)
