******************
IC FINANCE COUNCIL will have a meeting on Thursday, August 17th at 7 PM in Marian Hall.
SJ & IC: Again, I thank all parishioners who gave so generously to the 2017 Catholic Ministries Drive. Since both parishes met and surpassed our targets, all rebated money will be used for our teens and children in our CCD programs.
IC: When asked our needs for the CCD program, some CCD teacher-volunteers requested white boards to be used as “chalk boards” for writing and displaying CCD lessons. Each cost $159.00, and we need 9 white boards. If any individual or groups of individuals would like to purchase a white board as a memorial, please call Kim Gates or Fr Leon. SJ: Your will notice that at least five of our Stations of the Cross have been removed from the walls of the church. Each was removed as a precaution, since they showed signs as having the potential of falling off the wall. When they are reviewed and it would be safe for them to be restored, they will be returned to their proper position.
SJ & IC: If any parishioner in both of our parishes see anything that needs attention – restoration, repairs, removal, and/or upgrades, please call Pam at the office, 495-5241, or write us a note via the weekly offertory basket. Preventive maintenance is wiser, and may be less expensive, than crisis management. Thank you for your cooperation.
COMMUNITY MOVIE NIGHT – SATURDAY, AUGUST 19TH AT 8 PMat the New Germany Ballfield (weather permitting). In case of inclement weather, we will use the Beer Hall. Please bring your blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy the movie. Free admission. The youth group will be selling refreshments.

Hamburgers, hot dogs, and drinks will be provided. Feel free to bring a covered dish. Any questions call 659-3637.
IC CCD PROGRAMNEEDS TEACHERS FOR GRADES 5 & 6; and we also need additional substitutes. SJ CCD Program also needs substitutes. Call Kim at the rectory 495-5241 if you can help. Volunteers will need backgrounds checks before they can teach, so please don’t wait until the last minute to step up and help.
SJ FINANCE COUNCIL will have a meeting on Tuesday, August 8th, at 7 PM, in St John Social Hall of the church.
