- If you are in either building after normal business hours, please, please, please, be sure to:
- NOT prop doors open (we cannot afford to heat outside of the building).
- turn lights off (even if you didn’t turn them on)
- return the thermostat to its original setting (if you adjusted it)
- turn off/unplug the portable heater (chapel users only)
- turn around and make sure the outermost doors have completely closed behind you. (Yank on the door to make sure it doesn’t open.) There has been more than one occasion where these doors have been found to be not securely shut all the way.
- Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
- St. Joseph’s is hosting a Spaghetti Dinner on Saturday, March 5th at 6:30p in the Parish Hall. All donations will be used for an Eagle Scout project to beautify the Shrine of St. Katharine Drexel. All are invited. (p. 10)
- St. Joseph’s needs volunteers for counting the collection after Mass and providing refreshments and clean-up after fellowship on Sundays after Mass. If you have a child in CCD, these are great activities to keep you busy until they are through. See Pat Morse if you can help. (p. 10 & 11)
