Upcoming Expenditure Vote 
You may be aware that St Joseph Abbey in Louisiana (where Sacred Heart Seminarians David Mannino and Justin Perry attend) was flooded with about 4 feet of water in mid March.   The Abbey does not have insurance to rebuild and is looking for financial assistance to get the Seminary back in order.

As a result of the outstanding support from Sacred Heart Parish to the 40 Cans for Lent program that just concluded, the Council will be re-imbursed by Supreme $500 for the over 3 TONS of product delivered to Helping Hands.  Since this income was not included in the budget, a motion was made and passed at the March 22nd Business meeting to tithe this $500 to the Abbey.  That $500 check was mailed March 23rd to the St Joseph Flood Relief Fund. 

In addition, a
 motion was made in the March 22nd Business Meeting for the Council match this $500 donation for St Joseph Abbey Flood Relief.  Since this worthy expenditure was not in the 2015-2016 Council Budget, a Council vote will be held at the April 26th Council Business meeting seeking Council approval of this motion.  
 
Revenue from the Lenten Fish Frys exceeded forecast and these funds will be used to support this expenditure.

If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to call, e-mail, or catch me at daily or weekend mass.  Your attendance at the vote is requested and welcome. 

Your prayers for the Seminarians and the Abbey are needed and always appreciated.  
 
Thanks for your Support
Thanks for all the help with the Parish work day in building the Flower bed on the right side of the steps of the Church.  It really adds color to the front of the church - but now we need to do the left side.  Right now no date has been set but it will be coming up soon so don't throw away your gloves or Motrin - we will need in the near future.   Thanks to Brothers Larry Stryk, Kevin Eaves, and sickly Art Hausler for all the planning and hard work.
