ST. PAUL VI PARISH ACTION DAY

Saturday, November 4, 2023
Mark your calendars for November 4th!  Parish Action Day is a service day that has been held at St Mary’s from 2012 through 2019.  It is sponsored by the Service Outreach Committee and its purpose is to build community and camaraderie with all parishioners as they serve a few hours together to help the needy, the military, and the environment.
We will start the day with a continental breakfast at 8:30 a.m. in the St Mary Parish Center (gym).  At 9:00 a.m. there will be a send-off prayer by the Pastor and then each group will go off to do the service project that they signed up for. There are 8 different project groups to sign up for this year.  Please note that each person participating can only sign up for one group since they are all being held simultaneously.
Projects will include packing supplies for the homeless, a Veterans program at Hines VA, environmental landscape work around town, decorating cookies for the homeless, making holiday cards for the military, specialized cleaning in both of our churches, making Random Acts of Kindness notes to distribute around our neighborhoods, sorting coats and clothing, and making after-school snack packs for Catholic Charities.
The Service Outreach Committee will be holding a Service Fair on Sunday, Sept. 24th after morning masses at both St Mary and Mater Christi which will include displays explaining all of the Parish Action Day projects as well as sign-up sheets for each project.  We encourage everyone to sign up for a project that will work best for you and your family.  We have projects for all ages.  Great for those who need service hours.  Please plan to join your friends, neighbors, and fellow parishioners in a day of fun and service!
