Greetings Saint Augustine Parishioners:
Please join us on Tuesday evening from 5:30 - 7:30 for our annual Mardi Gras Fundraiser. It will be a fun evening, and the proceeds will benefit the ongoing cause for sainthood for Fr. Augustine Tolton.A few announcements:
We will celebrate Mass on the following day, Ash Wednesday, at 6:00 to begin the Forty Days of Lent together. Every family is welcome to take a copy of the Little Black Book from the Diocese of Saginaw. Reading the daily meditations is a great way to help us through this Sacred Season.
Along with all the priests of the Parishes of our Diocese, I will be in the Reconciliation Room from 6:00-8:00 on Tuesday, March 11, to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation Room. Our choir will provide music during the hours of Reconciliation. Please spread the word to anyone who might need the Sacrament.
If you know of anyone who is homebound and in need of the Sacraments, please let Deacon Mel or me know. We will be happy to take care of them.
Finally, you need to know that $1,837.66 has been returned to Saint Augustine as a result of our participation in the 2024 Annual Bishop's Appeal. This return shows that the annual Appeal is a win-win situation. We help finance the Diocesan Services, and all funds over our goal return to the parish. Thank you. We will also report the amount of your donation every month. We are grateful to Nancy Takach for handling our finances. Even though she is listed as the "business manager," she prefers to be known as our "Administrative Assistant." Thank you, Nancy.
Fr. Bill Schooler
