Here’s a reminder to all SIS members regarding working the St. Athanasius Summer Picnic:

If you have not already, please sign up to commit to working the picnic (or show up at times that are advertised in the church bulletin and/or school newsletter). Any amount of time that you can give will be appreciated!

Upon arrival, sign in with the designated leader or Booth Chairperson and indicate the ministry for which you are dedicating your time (i.e. Sisters in Spirit).  Upon completing your shift, SIGN OUT so that SIS will be credited for your time. Start and end times are required to calculate and allocate the share of profit for each ministry.

50% of the net profits will be set aside in a pool among dedicated ministries.  Each dedicated ministry’s percentage of the total hours worked at the picnic equals their percentage of the profit pool earned.

Here’s a request for some help:   Ladies, we need some feedback.  St. Athanasius will be holding a Women’s Retreat on Saturday, March 28th from 8:45AM to 3:00PM.  The problem is that on that same day, the St. Athanasius Booster Club is having an Easter Egg Hunt (from 11AM to about noon), followed by lunch and games (from about noon to 1:00PM).

For those of you who would be interested in the Women’s Retreat, does the Easter Egg Hunt make it hard for you to come to the retreat?  I know for me, with this being the first time we’ve had an Easter Egg Hunt at St. A’s, I am really torn between the two even though I am on the leadership team for the Women’s Retreat.  As a mom, and with this being a memorable occasion, it would be hard for me to miss my children participating in the hunt.

This is where we need your help.  The Women’s Retreat leadership team needs a head count of how many people are affected by this, so that we can adjust the retreat agenda as necessary to help those of us women who want to participate in both activities.  For instance, we can have the “singing” portion of the retreat during the Easter Egg Hunt part, so that women can leave the retreat and go to the hunt and then come back later and not feel like they missed out on any of the main spiritual aspects of the retreat.  That’s at least one idea.  Our team is coming up with others.

We’re sorry that this conflict occurred.  We’d appreciate hearing back from you.  Thank you!

Our annual parish women’s retreat is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 8:45-3:00 PM. Our theme this year is Like Jesus and includes Mass at 9:00 AM. The retreat will be led by Karen Purnell and all women 12 and older are welcome. There is a $12 fee for the retreat, which includes lunch. Registration forms are available in the back of Church or by downloading the following PDF form: Like Jesus Flyer
