Appalachia Christmas Mission
We participate in the Appalachia Christmas and Papal Footprints (Shoe Box) Mission for two parishes in Kentucky. Boxes for donations (NEW ITEMS ONLY) will soon be set out in the gathering Space.
These parishes have been greatly affected by flooding and are in need of your donations more than ever this year! They have respectfully requested more gifts for older teens, jackets for kids of all ages, diapers, and gifts for elderly. Cash donations are always greatly appreciated. Please make your check payable to St. Ignatius CCW and we will split the donations between the two parishes. More information to come.
Thank you for your generous participation! 

THANK YOU to all the Chairpersons, the Co-chairs and the dedicated volunteers for all your help with CCW projects in the past year—and also to those who donated to the June Diaper Drive which proved very successful.
Thank you also to Val Kaz for your beautiful prayers at the CCW meetings. CCW President, Cathy Laurent; Vice President, Sue Hughes; Treasurer, Alicia Millner; Secretary, Marie Erickson.
TOGETHER WE WILL GROW IN SPIRITUALITY, LEADERSHIP AND SERVICES!

Christ Child Luncheon, December, 2022
The Council of Catholic Women includes all women of the St. Ignatius Catholic Church.  No dues or age requirements...just women volunteering for the Glory of God!  

Our parish will once again host a Christ Child Luncheon on the first Friday of December, 2022! 

For two years we  had elves distribute meals to cars to support our cause, which was to raise money for  Pro-life organizations. This event began many years ago and evolved over time, and this year we will try to return to hosting the luncheon in a beautifully decorated basement here at St. Ignatius.  We no longer are able to bring foods from home, so we will need to do some creative re-thinking.  Yes, change is constant!

Pam Petersen will chair, but she needs a planning committee, helpers along the way and of course lots of people on December 2...both women, men and teens!

Pam has already talked a bit to a caterer for possible ideas. It was suggested at the last CCW meeting to have a couple of baskets available for a raffle.  Ideas are  needed for this very important ministry that has been part of our parish for so many years.

Please call Pam at 320-274-8074  this week if you are able to be on the planning committee or if you can chair a small area during the luncheon.  Many hands make light work!
