Brainstorming Session A meeting will be held to brainstorm creative new ways to raise money for our parish on Sunday, Feb. 26 th at 6:00PM in ICC hall. Currently we are in the “thinking process” of a possible community cookbook and a cooking event. But, let’s not be limited with two ideas. Do you have a creative mind that would help raise funds? Come to the meeting, share the idea. We are also looking for people who will work on new projects. Do you like to cook or bake, or do you like to draw or paint, or maybe you like to knit or sew? People who can think outside the box…people who are detailed…people who are organized…people who like to work and people who like to connect with others. In other words, we are looking for all kinds of people who have time to share, get involved and are willing to help our parish. All are welcome...come help us explore new ideas! Hope to see you there. Adult Choir Our adult choir will begin rehearsing for the Easter sea- son on Saturday, Feb 26th after the 4:00pm mass.
