All the Best to you and your families!

2010 Men's Club Lenten Prayer Breakfast on 3/13
Men,
We've had quite a busy start to the new year thus far, with good attendance at the Superbowl party up at the K of C in January, and again for Food Link at SJA last month.
As many of you are already aware, we are hosting the Men's Club Lenten Prayer Breakfast this Saturday morning, March 13th, at 8 am. Father Guy will give a talk about the spiritual challenges of Saints Peter and Paul after Mass, and we should be done with the program by 10 am. We will begin with Mass in the chapel, with breakfast and the talk following in Doyle Hall. Again, we had upwards of 30 men at the Advent Prayer Breakfast in early December, and are upt to 25 RSVPs for this one thus far! Please contact me via e-mail at pachciarz@sbcglobal.net or on my mobile at 361-9055, if you would like to attend. Feel welcome to invite a friend!
In addition, in lieu of asking for good will donations to cover expenses of the breakfast, we will be accepting donations to help the Kelly family meet their looming medical expenses due to Tim's recent battle with brain cancer. If you can not make the prayer breakfast, and would like to contribute, please contact me directly to make other arrangements.
In Christ,
Barry
