First- I offer sincere thanks to all the parents who have come to lend a hand at EDGE recently. I have fallen behind in writing thank you notes to everyone. For this I apologize.
Second- IMPORTANT-please check the schedule for when you are assigned to help on
sign-up genius . We count on you. The youth count on you.Your presence and example of commitment show them they matter. If a conflict arises, please find a substitute or make a trade. (or at least send me an email.) *I can send a tutorial about how to trade in another email.
Third- Wednesday Nov 15th-two things are happening:
1. The youth are taking a field trip to St. Benedict's to join their youth for an EDGE night. Please
sign up on the parish website and bring a favorite snack. (We WILL need driver/chaperones.) Meeting to depart from St. Mike's at 5:30pm under the bell tower...returning 8:30pm. (release forms needed for youth)
2. St. Benedict's is offering a special presentation for
parents called "Jesus Was a Teenager too" given by Dr. William T. McKenna Psy. D. Event begins with refreshments at 6:30pm, concluding at 7:45pm.

Fourth- We are delivering hand-crafted turkeys on Thursday Nov 16, meeting at St. Mary's hospital at 4:45 at the top of the escalators. Please alert me if you are coming by signing up online.
Fifth- We are continuing to collect money and/or hats-mittens-gloves-scarves for the children in Appalachia for the next two weeks. Thank you for your generosity.
Sixth-We are always collecting cartoon/fun/colorful band-aids to take to the children's wing at St. Mary's Hospital.
God bless you this November.
