Our monthly Food Drive will be held next weekend, September 11 and 12. All contributions will benefit the Helping Center in Marble Falls. The Center is in need of: rice (1lb. or 2lb. bags); dry cereal; powdered milk; Jell-O; Hamburger Helper; canned meats; and macaroni & cheese. No ‘giant’ sizes, please; these products are distributed to families and individuals. Please bring your donations to the Social Hall and thank you for your generosity.

Registration for the 2010-2011 school year will be held this weekend, September 4 & 5, in the Chapel library after all Masses. We offer classes from 1st grade through high school. Parents, please take this opportunity to sign up your children, so we can order books and supplies for them. If you have not already done so, you will be asked to register with the parish. Classes will be held on Wednesday evenings, starting in the latter part of September.

This weekend, September 4 & 5, we will have our monthly ‘Brown Bag’ collection to aid the St. Vincent de Paul Society. All proceeds from this collection will go directly to the local conference, which is a joint effort of St. John’s in Marble Falls and St. Paul’s in Horseshoe Bay. The St. John/St. Paul conference serves only those people living in the 78654 and 78657 zip codes. There is a great need for help for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, especially in these economic times. Their funds are limited and the financial needs are overwhelming. Our August Brown Bag collection was $2120.36!
