at Sacred Heart of Jesus
for Marshfield Area Students Grades 1 - 12
To register or for more information:
Dave and Mandy Alcott @ 715-387-1317; alcottd@gmail.com
What is TOTUS TUUS? "Totus Tuus" is a Latin phrase that means "Totally Yours". It was used by Pope Saint John Paul II to express his devotion to Mary, our Blessed Mother, and to us, the faithful people of God. College-aged TOTUS TUUS retreat leaders effectively and positively impact students by bringing the teachings of the Catholic Faith alive in a dynamic way! Because TOTUS TUUS team members are close in age to the students, they are able to build mentor relationships with the youth. The TOTUS TUUS retreat program offers day retreat sessions August 3rd - 7th, 9AM-2:30PM for students in grades 1-6 and evening retreat sessions, August 2nd - 6th, 6:30-8:30PM, for students in grades 7-12. Students are encouraged to invite their friends - students in grades 1-12 are invited to participate in TOTUS TUUS at Sacred Heart of Jesus!

Reminder - Mother's Day Breakfast at KC Hall!

Don't miss this great way to celebrate Mother's Day!  Spread the word!!

Mother's Day Pancake Breakfast Volunteer List/Schedule

Hello!

Thank you to those of you who have offered to help at the Mother's Day Pancake Breakfast on May 10th and for those of you who have been helping in all the preparations for the breakfast!  For those of you who would like to help but haven't signed up yet, there is still room to help.  We are hoping to have mostly men and student volunteers so that the ladies of our parish families don't need to work on Mother's Day.  But ladies, if it blesses your heart to help and you really want to help, that is OK too. :-)

Please see the volunteer list/schedule below.  Please e-mail back to let us know you received this e-mail and/or if you see a conflict with the time you are scheduled to volunteer.  Also, please note that some shifts (kitchen for example) are all morning, so if you aren't able to attend Mass on Saturday evening, May 9th, it is no problem if you need to sneak out to attend Mass at some point during the breakfast - Mass takes top priority over your volunteer shift.

Also, on the day of the breakfast, some people may be moved around to different work positions if needed.  For those of you who indicated specific time availability, those times will of course be honored.

Thank you and God bless!
Dave and Mandy Alcott

New Youth Ministry Bulletin Announcement

Hi Cheryl, here is a new announcement, thanks!

 

Youth Ministry Update

  Hello everyone, thanks for your support of our youth.  Unfortunately the two students interested in attending the Pilgrimage for Life were not able to attend this year.  Please consider attending next year, and please pray for all the pilgrims.  All teens interested in being part of the youth group can join us on Wednesday nights from 6:15 - 7:15pm.   
   Great news, we are making progress towards our fundraising goal of $4,750, so the remainder to be raised by June 30th, 2015, is $4201.55   This is great progress, and f you could help us chip away at this goal before we do larger scale fundraisers, it would be greatly appreciated!  Simply designate on an envelope that it is for the Youth Ministry fundraiser, and put it in the collection.  This amount is to pay for the 2015 Totus Tuus week, and for general expenses.  Also, Parents, if I can help you or your children in any way, I am at your service!  Please contact me
