The 7th annual Crab Claws for a Good Cause was an enormous success for all! This year, the committee chose a Mardi Gras theme to add some pizzazz to the event. The decorating committee (Terry and Eric Basa, Katie Larkin and Kathy Gagnon) transformed the church into a replication of New Orleans, complete with three very energetic dancing crabs (Amy Clemens, Gayle Krivan and Katie Larkin).

The Bartenders (Clay McElhany, Gordon Gagnon and Steve Von Rumpf) were charming and entertaining as they served the crowds their favorite libations. The Kitchen Crew (April and Tod Schafer, and Paul and Karen Fischer) made sure the food was ready for distribution. The Servers (Marcia and Jim Warne, Mary Robertson and Laurie and Eric Brio) made sure there was an ample supply of King Crab, tri-tip, pasta, salad and warm bread at each table.

All of the planning, organization, and thematic coordination would not have been possible without the hard work of our illustrious chairperson, Sharon Kassity. She, along with her trusty side-kicks, Kristen Loos and Kathy Gagnon, mad this event the best our community has seen in years!

Thanks to all who helped, and enjoyed this great celebration!

It’s hard to believe we are already heading into the month of March. As usual, the activity calendar is already filled with fun events. Please make sure to read and post this calendar in a convenient location to keep abreast of the weekly activities.

Once again, our school is focusing on the Lenten season and how we can transform ourselves into becoming more like Jesus. During the 40 days before Easter, we have discussed how we as Catholics can become closer to Jesus by spending more time in deepening our spiritual life, engaging in acts of self-denial, and looking introspectively on how we can change our selfish inclinations. In morning prayers we talk about how Lent is a time to reflect upon ourselves and what we can do to grow in mind, body, and spirit.

With these important Lenten practices in mind, our students will once again, participate in Operation Rice Bowl. In today’s folder, your child has their own personal Rice Bowl for almsgiving along with a pamphlet explaining this program. We hope your family will join in this important campaign to help the less fortunate around the world.

We will be asking the children to bring their Rice Bowls to our school Mass at the church on March 31st. Our donations will be sent to Catholic Relief Services to help the needy. Thank you so much for your help in teaching the children the importance of this season which includes increasing prayer time, personal sacrifice, and almsgiving.
