BENEFIT FOR BR. JOSEPH KATZMAREK
 There will be a fundraising benefit for Brother Joseph Katzmarek, a Franciscan Brother from our archdiocese (and brother of parishioners Barb Hanson and Chuck Katzmarek), who was paralyzed in an accident last November.  The benefit and silent auction will be held on July 28, 2002 from 2-5 p.m. at Kieran's Irish Pub in downtown Minneapolis.  Tickets are $10 and will be sold after Masses on July 14.  For more information, please contact Abby Katzmarek at 952-447-0084.


Help to Bring Back the    Bottle Blast to the Fallfest!


Remember the Bottle Blast game?  You buy a ticket with a number on it and the coordinating number matches the bottle that you win.  The products used for this game consisted of anything bottled and unopened.  Examples are hair care products, food (peanuts, candy, etc),  beverages, lotion, Bath & Body Works products or anything fun that comes in a bottle.
We are looking for donations of products.  If anyone knows a contact we would be able to talk to from a business or corporation such as Palmolive, Proctor & Gamble, Aveda, etc.  Please let us know.  If someone would care to make a donation like this, we would like to hear from you! 
If you do not know a contact, but still want to help, the Fallfest committee would encourage you to save up some of these products over the summer and donate them to this game so that we can bring it back!
It takes many, many items to fill up the shelves.  Please help us if you can.
Contact Mary J at the parish center, 651-633-8333.
