FISH FRY

Last Friday night was our first Fish Fry. There were a lot of us there to help out. Our 'experienced' waiters and waitresses worked with our 'new' participants teaching them the ropes. It gave us a chance to get to know each other better. We had a lot of great baked goods to sell. We all worked hard throughout the night. We thought you would enjoy seeing some pictures of our night. The kids enjoyed meeting many of the parishioners and I know the parishioners enjoyed meeting the kids and getting to know them

Come by any Friday night between 5 pm and 8 pm and enjoy a great dinner while you get to know the kids. Our roving dessert carts are a great addition. And of course don't forget to stop by the bake sale table for some great homemade treats to take home.

We look forward to seeing you at the next Fish Fry!

TOOL TRAINING

Since we are going to do habitat projects this year, everyone needs to learn how to handle a variety of tools. We began our girst tool training session on January 28, 2010. All of our male chaperones were there to lend a hand. We had to begin the night with safety training first. Once we got through that we began learning about the individual tools, both power tools and hand tools. Then we all got to take a crack at working with each type of tool. It was great to see everyone working together, listening carefully, following all the directions, and trying really hard to learn everything. Each month we will be getting together for continued tool training.

As a culmination of our training we will actually construct 2 different things. We will be making a porch swing and also a picnic table. We are hoping to be able to complete these projects by our pasta dinner so that we can auction them off to help pay for our trip. We also need the experience in building these 2 things because we will be taking all the supplies to build them again with us. At each home we work on we will also build one of the items to give to the family as a gift. We are really excited to be able to do this!

OUR FIRST MASS

We celebrated our first mass together on January 24, 2010. We provided all the liturgical ministries. It ws a really nice mass, and everyone did a great job. Fr. Ron and Fr. Manny were very pleased with how well everyone did. We even got some pictures of everyone dressed nice.
