| St. Columbkille / Holy Name Chapel NO CLASSES: The children and youth have a break on the 19th of February. Faith Formation for all grade levels do not meet the Sunday of President’s weekend. SATURDAY WITH PADRE for grades 3 and 4 is scheduled for the 10th of March. The assistance from the parents for these retreats for the children has been greatly appreciated! The extra time spent to focus on a particular subject is important and helpful for the children’s understanding of the Faith. The added bonus of learning from Father Jim is a treasure for the children. Winter/Spring Mission Drive: The parish community is welcomed to assist the children and youth with an apostolic outreach for Pregnancy Centers. We are collecting all manner of infant/child care items which will be delivered to two different Women’s centers. There is a crate in the vestibule to drop off donations. See the Faith Formation bulletin board for details. Thank you for your generous participation!
