Executive Director or Assistance Coordinator,We at St. Francis Parish, Ann Arbor, hope & pray that you & your community is well. As I help our parish prepare for LENT I think of you all. St. Francis Parish still hopes to begin nurturing a mutual exchange of ideas and hopes, and sharing our Catholic faith with members of your parish, and, we need some service projects for LENT.
The St. Francis' people come to the St. Francis Parish Social Ministry Office looking for ways to help people. They are looking for meaningful-one-time volunteer opportunities to help you & your community (especially the season of Lent-Spring from Ash Wednesday, March 1 - Easter, April 16).
I need you to define a special service project, including the contact name & number or e-mail & dates. Respond with your suggestions by February 15, 2006 (or anytime during the year when you have a need).
You Name It, If You Define your Project Needs, then we will try to do it. This is a great way for us to grow in relationship & community. Give us a challenge.
The service project(s) are ways for our people:
- to show care for our brothers and sisters &
- to prepare our hearts for the joy of the EASTER season.You might have a service project that could be accomplished:
-- during school hours, or evening religious education classes.
-- for an hour or two after school, or for a few hours on a Saturday.
by:
-- a group or class of students during their school hours, or evening religious education classes.
For example: card making, stapling, envelope stuffing, bag decorating, You Name It, You Define your project needs and we will try to do it.
-- a group, a whole family, a single adult person, or a parent and child, for an hour or two after school, or for a few hours on a Saturday then we are especially interested.
