Calling all active duty, veterans and retired military…

The Outreach Committee is compiling a list of our parishioners and their immediate family members who are currently serving, or who have served in the armed forces, to be published in the bulletin for Military Appreciation Weekend, November 10-11.  Parishioners and immediate family members who would like to have their names included on this list, should send your name, the military member’s name, their branch of service, and whether they are active duty, veterans or retired military to Donna Knutson at dmknutson at comcast.net<mailto:dmknutson at comcast.net>. If you submitted names for the bulletin last year, you need not resubmit, they will automatically be included in this year’s list of military from our parish.

Celebrate St. Gabriel’s Feast Day by Feeding the homeless at Marian House Soup Kitchen

For the past few years, our parish has sponsored the Marian House Soup Kitchen on September 29, the feast day of St. Gabriel. We invite you to help us demonstrate our faith in action by volunteering at the soup kitchen on that day. The feast falls on a Saturday this year, making it easier for you to lend a hand if you work. There are two shifts to choose from: 7 to 10 am and 10 am to 2 pm.  To sign up, please contact Doug Rouse at 719-866-6286.  Our parish name will be posted on the sponsorship marque outside of the Marian House, in the Catholic Charities newsletter, and on their website.  A photo will be taken with volunteers under the sign that will be posted on social media.  Thank you!
