CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES AND HAITI:  The terrible tragedy in Haiti has left an already impoverished nation in dire straits. Catholic Relief Services is the official international relief organization of the Catholic Church.  They have already pledged $5 million to deal with emergency needs.  Our parish contributions will be funneled through them as they are a wonderful and trustworthy part of our church for which we can all be grateful.  You may make checks out to parish or to the Diocese of Saginaw.

DISCIPLES IN MISSION:  Excitement is in the air!  We are getting ready to launch our Lenten Program titled, “DISCIPLES IN MISSION.”  It is a Lenten experience designed to include the whole parish to help us grow in our faith life as individuals and as a community.  It is a process that integrates the Sunday liturgies, small faith sharing groups, catechesis and family activities.  We want as many parishioners involved as possible, so don’t miss this opportunity to be included.  We hope to have sessions during the morning, afternoon and evening on various days of the week.  Each participant will have a booklet and a facilitator to guide you.  We have about thirty facilitators and hope to have more.  You will have the opportunity to hear what others have to say about the Lenten Readings and to add your insights.  Don’t miss this opportunity.  Check the grid in the gathering area of church to add your name where the time and place are right for you.  If you have questions, please call the parish office.  Our Participants Booklets and Facilitator Manuals have already arrived.

CATHOLIC FEDERAL CREDIT UNION’S MSGR. FORBES SCHOLARSHIP applications are now available at all CFCU locations and online at www.cathfcu.com.  The college scholarships are open to CFCU members who meet the criteria based on financial need, community involvement, education/occupational goals, grade point average, and other requirements.  Since 1982, the Msgr. Forbes Scholarship Committee has awarded more than $933,000 and has given out over 1,800 scholarships to students who want to begin or continue their education.  In 2010, the total dollars awarded to students will surpass $1 million.  Please contact the credit union at 799-8744, ext. 112, if you have any questions.

BLOOD DRIVE:  This Tuesday, January 26 from 2:00 -8:00 p.m. there will be a blood drive at Holy Spirit.  We had a mix-up on dates, so instead of our usual Monday date, this year it will be on Tuesday.  There are sign-up sheets in the gathering area of church.  Please sign so we know how many to expect.  Even if you are unsure of the time and plan to donate, it would help us to know how many walk-ins, as well as those who sign for specific times.  We hope you will consider contributing to the cause of bringing someone back to health or perhaps saving a life!  Thank you.
