Parish Grounds Cleanup this Saturday. Please meet in Charity Hall at 9:00am for instructions to start the day. We need your help! Many hands make light work!
CTK School Christmas Program is this Sunday at 2:00pm in the school gym.
Bambinelli Blessing: In order to prepare for the coming of Jesus at Christmas, I would ask that, if possible, the children of our parish bring the Baby Jesus figurines (Bambinelli in Italian) from your family Nativity scene to church on the Sunday, December 16, the Third Sunday of Advent after each Mass. After Mass on that day, Father will bring the children forward and bless the Bambinelli before the Christ child is placed in the Nativity scene of your home. A blessed Advent to you all!
Gift Certificates
Need some stocking stuffers? We have an excellent selection sure to please anyone on your gift list. You can pick up an order form at the main entrance of the church or print one here. CTK earns a percentage from each card purchased. Please return order form and payment to the church office by 9:00 am on Tuesdays for availability on Friday. Last order for Christmas delivery will be placed on December 18.

Miss Kraft Shares Her Love of Hedgehogs
The second graders are reading a variety of books from Miss Kraft's favorite author, Jan Brett, who includes illustrations of hedgehogs in each book. Miss Kraft brought her pet hedgehog "Belle" to show her class.
Angels Down Under
The "Angels Down Under" are busy quilting for our Quilt Bingo. While most of the parish thinks about the Quilt Bingo once a year, in order for quilts to be ready, quilting is happening all year. There are more quilters than those pictured here, Marilyn Thieme, Diana Tuell and Joyce Lutz, who come in at different times during the week. Actually, they are working on the 2020 Quilts at this time.
The John Deere quilt will be available at the 2019 Bingo. Thank you ladies for all your work!
