THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS a weekly bulletin & newsletter July 22, 2018 • 16 th Sunday in Ordinary Time
PARISH WOMEN! Do you like to talk, bake, read, sew, take pictures, or have some other talent? Do you love St. Louis and want to meet other women in the parish? Do you know that all women in the parish are members of the St. Louis Women’s Club? We want you to join us as we make friends and have fun, and provide ministry for the parish and community. At the Saturday and Sunday Masses on July 21-22, Women’s Club representatives will be in the narthex to answer your questions and share our registration form. Whether or not you choose to participate in any of the Club’s sponsored activities or donate to its treasury, registration will allow us to contact you individually before each meeting with a reminder and program information. The registration form can also be downloaded from www.st-louis.org/womens-club at any time. The Women’s Club is the parish’s official representative to the Austin Deanery and Austin Diocesan Councils of Catholic Women as well as the National Council of 1
Catholic Women. Attending those meetings provides an opportunity to network with women from other parishes; learn about activities that might benefit St. Louis; and grow in spirituality, leadership and service. St. Louis women benefit from the training and resource wealth of these larger organizations. In support of the Deanery service project – Over the Toes and Under the Clothes- we are collecting new underwear and socks for children and adults. The items are given to the local shelter for victims of domestic abuse. Please bring any items you can donate to the weekend registration table or any club meeting. We invite all ladies of the parish to join us for our welcoming meeting on Tuesday, August 14, 2018 in Wozinak Hall at 7:00pm. More details on this meeting will be available in the August bulletins. Jeannie Coale is the current president and will be glad to respond to you questions by phone (512-627-5769) or email (Jeannie.coale@gmail.com. We are excited about our coming year of programs, and many opportunities for fellowship and service. We look forward to seeing you!
