LITUR GIC A L M IN IS TER S M A R C H 2 8 / 2 9

ALL LITURGICAL MINISTERS--We have begun meeting 15 minutes before the start of each Mass. For those ministers who have already tested this experience, it is helpful. We can give special directions, answer questions, and pray together. During the next several months of Easter and other Feasts there will be many special notes. Please understand that part of ministry is to serve in the best possible way, so that the Assembly may experience the presence of God in our worship--be generous by participating in this meeting and making our worship as fitting as possible. Those meeting are all ministers--SERVERS, SACRISTANS, MUSICIANS, LECTORS, USHERS, GREETERS, EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS, DEACONS, AND PRIESTS.

Come share breakfast with us on Sunday March 29th after the 8:00 am Mass, to recognize the Knights of Co-lumbus Founders Day. The Knights of Columbus began in the basement of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, CT in 1882, when Father Michael J. McGivney called together a small group of pioneering Catholic laymen and founded a society designed to provide financial assistance for widows and orphans of members. Our founder's vision was one for the entire Church, calling each man to active participation in the sacramental life of the parish. Open to all parishioners, no charge. Sponsored by Rolla Knights of Columbus St. Patrick Council #2627 When: March 29, 2015 Time: 9:00-10:30 am Where: Parish Hall Serving: Scrambled Eggs, Biscuits and Gravy, Sausage Patties, Orange Juice, Milk, and Coffee.

Looking for volunteers to become St. Patrick "Beauty Boys"

The St. Patrick Beauty Boys help keep St. Patrick's Church and School grounds neat and trim. You work on a three-man team about four times during the summer. Your job is to mow and trim the church and school grounds and clean up excess grass from the walks, etc. You can become a Beauty Boy, even if you don't have equipment, as we have equipment for you to use. If you are interested in becoming a member on a team of Beauty Boys please contact Mitch Passini by March 31st at 573-578-8781 or email at passini@fidnet.com.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
