50th Jubilee Slogan

August 20, 2009

…that Father Dean would like to include third graders as altar servers. Any child in grades third and up that would like to join must fill out an application (available in the school office) and return it to us. We will forward it to the church office. A new application must be filled out every year. A training for ALL servers (new and old) will take place this Saturday at 10 AM in church.

…that the T-shirt we are asking every child to purchase is the same one that we sold last year. We purposely omitted the year so that we might use the same shirt for several years.

…that last night was a great success. There were 294 parents in attendance at the first Home and School meeting. Please consider volunteering for at least one of the events sponsored by the Home and School Association.

…that a benefit will be held for Adeline Lyons, sister of Lucy (4B) and Patrick (1B), born on June 6^th with a very rare and fatal neurological disease. The entire family will be moving to North Carolina for a year so that Adeline may receive treatment at Duke University’s Children’s Hospital. A raffle for three Taylor Swift concert tickets will take place on September 2^nd. The concert is in Lafayette on September 9^th. Raffle tickets are $10.00 each and may be purchased at the following locations: Duncan Sports, Cherry Books, Bubba’s Poboy Shop, Clayton Hebert’s State Farm Insurance Office, and Griffin’s Poboys in Houma. An account has also been set up at Regions Bank in her name c/o Jean and Kevin Lyons. If you are unable to purchase a raffle ticket or contribute, please keep Adeline and her family in your prayers. We look forward to the return of Lucy and Patrick next year to St. Genevieve School.

…that Mary’s Moms meets every Wednesday during the school year at St. Joseph Church. Rosary begins at 9:30 in the church followed with a meeting in the Life Center from 10 AM to 11:30 AM.
