VOLUNTEER NEEDED
After five years of faithful, dedicated service as Co-Chairs of Environment and Design, a part of our Liturgy
Committee, Andrea Miller and Laura Jones have requested to step down effective January 1, 2011.
Andrea and Laura have done a marvelous job of decorating the interior of our church for special feasts
and holy days as well as ordinary time.

Fr. Ingram would like an active parishioner to step up and assume this position.
The only requirement is a good sense of design and decoration.
It can be an individual, husband and wife, or even an entire family.
The Holy Spirit staff also assists with this so you won't be left all alone to do everything by yourself.
If you have a talent or interest in interior decoration and design and are willing to share your time and talent,
please call Fr. Ingram at the church office or contact him after Mass.

children staying at the Monroe County C.A.R.E. Cottage, which is part of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. If you
