  We still need volunteers for our Mother’s Day Flowers fundraising event for Mother and Child Education Center.    We especially need help at the 11:00am and 5:30pm Masses at ST John Fisner Church.   If you will have already attended and earlier Mass and prefer just to help with the flower distribution, just arrive just before 12:00pm for the 11:00am or 6:30pm for the 5:30 to help with handing a flower to the mothers after the Masses.   If you can help with or have any questions about the event contact Gene Andres at gene.andres@comcast.net  or 773-426-4816.   Please volunteer your time to help make this fundraiser a success.

 We're pretty well covered now for the Sunday Masses at St. Clare's.  We could use one or two more people for Saturday Night.  Email seebert42@gmail.com  to help SJF could use more people, at all 4 Mass times.  Please email gene.andres@comcast.net to volunteer

 If you have not already done so, please let us know which Mass you will be attending on Mother's Day and if you're willing to man a door at the end of Mass to sell flowers.  We need at least 9 men at each parish to volunteer for this (3 per Mass for Saturday and Sunday morning, one or two can handle 4:30pm Sunday Mass at SJF); we will accept any family members who want to volunteer as well.  Please help our Mother's Day Flower Sale become a success! For St Clare, email Ted Seeber, seebert42@gmail.com For St. John Fisher, email  Gene Andres <gene.andres@comcast.net>
