Thank you for your support and donations. Five Focus Groups Meetings: SIGN UP ! To those of you who have signed up for the Town Hall Healing Meetings, thank you. Those signup sheets are still in the Narthex and we invite you to sign up to attend one of those open meetings. You will also notice that there is a new set of signup sheets: these new signup sheets are for the five Focus Groups in which we are asking you to participate. Hopefully there is a topic that you are interested to help discuss, and a time that works for you. Space is limited, so please visit the signup sheets as soon as you can. Groups: 1.) Building Enhancements; 2.) Parishioner Welcoming and Connectedness; 3.) Future of Our School; 4.) Cultural Challenges to Our Faith and Parish; 5.) What Else Might SVdP Offer People. Preschool Enrollment for 2015-2016 Preschool classes are filled on a first come, first served basis. The date listed for each group is when priority enrollment for that group ends; you can still enroll after that date, but will not be guaranteed a spot. March 12 – St. Vincent de Paul Parish families March 17 – Catholics from other parishes and Non-Catholic families with intentions to send that child to our Catholic school March 20 – Non-Catholics that want to use our Preschool only Same-Sex Marriage: March 9 The institution of marriage faces grave and immediate threats in the state of Nebraska. Recent court decisions will soon require our state to deny the reality that marriage is the union of man and woman, as instituted by God the Father. Bishop Conley, along with Nebraska’s other bishops, have declared Monday, March 9th, a “Day of Prayer and Fasting for Marriage.” The bishops invite all Catholics to fast for marriage this Monday. May our sacrifice help to protect the institution of marriage in our state, and in our country. Charity & Stewardship Appeal 2014 Returns Thank you for your gifts to our Diocesan charity programs.
