ST. JUDE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY   PAGE FIVE              MARCH 17, 2002

ST. VINCENT de PAUL BUNDLE SUNDAY


Sunday, April 7th, will be St. Vincent de Paul Bundle Sunday here at St. Jude's.  Please bring your usable clothing and household items to their truck that will be parked near the Media Building at the school.  As you do your spring cleaning, this is an excellent way to share your usable clothing, household items and furniture with those less fortunate.  There is currently a desperate need for furniture and large appliances. 

Please make sure all clothing and household items are clean and usable.

Large items can be picked up at your home by calling 323 - 224 - 6280 or 800 - 97 - HELP-1.

PLEASE CONTINUE PRAYING
For Those Preparing for Sacraments


If you lost the name of the person who is receiving Sacraments this Easter Season, there are still baskets at the doors of the church with slips of paper containing these names.   You are invited to
draw one slip containing one name, and then to pray for that person each day. Included are the names of all becoming Catholic, all our high school students being confirmed, and all who are receiving Jesus for the first time in Holy Communion.     

Pictures of all receiving Sacraments are being posted in the back of the church, so that you may see whom it is that you are praying for.
