January 2024
Thank you to our All Saints Middle School students who packed snack packs for their January service project. They each took several bags to keep in their car to pass out to those in the community in need. Extras went to our parish office to hand out to walk-in clients.

All Saints Community Services - Office Volunteers Needed
We are looking to involve more volunteers to work in our Community Services office. Our current volunteers are eager to share their knowledge with the next generation.
This office fields requests for food deliveries and financial assistance. Most work is done via phone with occasional walk-ins.
Morning volunteers coordinate food deliveries. Afternoon volunteers help with financial assistance.
We'd welcome you to come sit in and observe if you are interested in volunteering or just learning more about what we do. Shifts are Monday-Thursday from 10-12 or from 1-4.
Basic computer and compassionate listening skills are welcome. Training will be provided. Please contact Morningstar in the parish office for more information.

Model of Mercy
St. Charles of Sezze
"The drama in the lives of the saints is mostly interior. Charles’ life was spectacular only in his cooperation with God’s grace. He was captivated by God’s majesty and great mercy to all of us."
Grow in Faith
Homebound Ministry
Bring the Body of Christ to those who are homebound. We have several opportunities to serve at local assisted living and rehabilitation facilities. We need people who are comfortable visiting one on one and those who would be comfortable leading a small group communion service. Curious if this ministry is right for you? Come shadow one of our existing ministers to discover the rewards.
Contact Morningstar in the parish office for more information.
RCIA Dismissal Leaders Needed
Do you have a special love of the Word? Dismissal leaders accompany our catechumens and candidates from Mass and help them break open the Word. We need leaders for both the 9 am and 11 am Masses until Easter. Contact Morningstar for more information.
Global Solidarity
Catholic Relief Services - Advocacy Opportunity
As people of faith committed to justice, we are called to address the root causes of poverty so that our sisters and brothers around the world can live with dignity and thrive.
Spring Recess is an exciting opportunity—when members of Congress will be working from their home states and districts—to voice your priorities and advocate on behalf of our global family. I invite you to join CRS this March and April to take collective action and transform our world together.
If you would like to participate in legislative visits, sign up by Feb. 29 using the registration form to ensure you don’t miss out on important communications and training resources.
