The KC’s invite you to this year’s altar server party at The Beach Ottumwa on Sunday, August 30!
We will leave the church parking lot at 12:30, and return approximately
7 p.m. – be sure to eat a quick lunch before you come.
The KC’s will pay for the server’s admission and provide them $5 for snacks. Siblings are welcome to attend, but we need to limit the party to servers and their families. We have a group rate for family members: $4 for kids under 4 ft.; $7 for kids over 4 ft and $3 for those not swimming.
Please RSVP with Randy Schultz
(766-6432) so we can plan transportation. Parents, we will need some drivers, so please let me know if you are able to help drive (thank you!).
Servers, thank you for all you do to help serve God and our parish through the Mass!
St. John Berchmans
Patron Saint of Altar Servers
Dear St. John, although you died when you were young, you learned to live an exemplary life.
With the help of your Guardian Angel, whom you confidently invoked, you learned to be a most humble altar server at the Mass.
Help all altar servers to imitate you in their service at Eucharistic celebrations, as well as in their conduct with others. Amen.
Update: This has been cancelled due to cold weather.
