[Editor's Note: Aldona and I had a pair of 'senior moments' this morning, and misplaced the news from St. Casimir, so we were not able to read it on the air. If you didn't get a bulletin in church this morning, please see below for all the news from the new parish. -Greg]
Parish Joining Committee members Terese Kalvaitis, Maria Hoffman, Ingrid Civinskas, and and Anthony Bacevice wish to thank all who helped with the preparations for the St. Casimir Parish Opening Mass Coffee Hour, and so generously contributed baked goods. We truly appreciated the volunteer efforts of so many who helped clean up the halls and kitchen after the event.
St. Casimir Parish continues to welcome visitors and new members. Anyone who is interested in becoming a member is asked to fill out a registration and volunteer form which can be found by the entrances of the Church. These can be returned in the collection basket, dropped off at the Rectory or in the mail. Fr. Bacevice also wants to hear your thoughts and ideas for our new parish. These can be sent to the parish office or e-mailed to Father Bacevice (joebacevice@sbcglobal.net). St. Casimir Parish is striving to be responsive to your spiritual needs so that all members can feel at home.
As of now, the telephones at St. Casimir are not working properly because of a wiring problem. Until everything is straightened out, please use the old Our Lady of Perpetual Help (216-531-4263) or St. George (216-431-5794) telephone numbers. Regular business hours at the parish office are Monday through Friday, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
St. Casimir is looking for volunteers to serve as altar servers, Mass readers, Communion ministers, and musicians for our English Masses. As St. Casimir expands in these areas with our English speaking community, additional volunteers will be needed. Those who are interested are asked to contact Father Bacevice at the rectory. Training will be provided.
There was a mailing problem with the November-December offering envelopes to members of the former St. George parish. Eeveryone should have their envelopes by this weekend, but you did not, please place your Church offering in a plain envelope with your name and, if you know it, your envelope number.
St. Casimir church is now accepting Mass intentions for 2010. Individuals and organizations who want specific dates for their Mass should send their list to the Rectory or place the request in the collection basket.
This week, a new heating system was installed in the St. Casimir rectory, and new heating units for the Church are on order. These improvements were long overdue. When completed, both buildings should be more comfortable in the winter and, most importantly, more energy efficient. However, they were very expensive. The heating systems together cost just under $40,000. Please be generous in your offerings to help recover the cost for this needed work.
