Hello Everyone,
Last weekend we celebrated the 3rd Sunday in Lent. Later Sunday afternoon and all day yesterday, I was not feeling well. Caught a cold! So I took Monday off to rest. This is my justification for this short Flocknote.
Father Jim Horath will be back this Sunday March 19 with the third talk in his presentation of “Meditations on the Cross.” The talk will start at 7pm in the St Francis Xavier worship space and usually last about 30 to 40 minutes. Be sure to check it out!
I know it is spring break and St Patrick’s Day, and you probably all have exciting plans...but just in case you are looking for something to do... we could use a waitress this Friday for our Friday Fish Fry on March 17th.
Vicky Giacalone, Sale Representative from Catholic United Financial has asked me to share this message and flyer with you:
An amazing gifting opportunity has been created by Congress and your local Catholic parish or charity can benefit! Passage of the SECURE Act 2.0 into law allows seniors aged 70½ or older to give a one-time, tax-free $50,000 rollover from their IRA into a charitable gift annuity. Speaker Robert Heuermann, Executive director of the Catholic United Financial Foundation, will explain how this process can offer you protected income for retirement, satisfy your required minimum distribution, potentially offer you tax benefits, and provide a gift for your local parish or charity! Learn about this great opportunity the federal government is offering charitable-minded seniors like you.

Thank you to the volunteers who helped out at the St John the Baptist Pancake Breakfast and Bake Sale. Despite the weather we had a good turnout and the pancakes, sausage and eggs were delicious. There was a good selection of baked goods to choose from as well. Our next pancake breakfast and bake sale will not be until the fall. Thank you for your support of our pancake breakfast and bake sales!!!
Have a blessed week!!!
