State Fair Strawberry: Strawberry cleaning is going strong! Since August 21, 30 to 40 volunteers have gathered daily in the Social Hall to clean strawberries for the Minnesota State Fair. Sunday, September 1 will be the last day to clean berries for this year. Cleaning is generally completed by noon each day, sometimes even earlier! The amount of berries to be cleaned depends on the weather and crowd size at the fair. Depending on when you read this bulletin, there is only one or two more days to take part in this fundraising event. The Social Hall will be open by 7:30 AM each day. Come to our own Great St. Matthew Get-Together!
Front Desk Receptionist: We are in need of a volunteer to serve as the receptionist on Thursday mornings. In addition to answering phones and greeting visitors, the Thursday receptionist also puts the inserts into the weekly bulletin and prepare bulletins to be mailed to our homebound parishioners. (A chance to read the bulletin before anyone else.) If you are able to help for a few hours between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM, please contact the parish office (651) 224-9793.
Thank You: To the 42 parishioners and friends of the parish who have gathered each morning to clean the strawberries.
Thank You: To Paul who came each day after the strawberry cleaning was completed, and swept and mopped the strawberry juice off the Social Hall floor!
WE ARE A VOLUNTEER PARISH!
