VOLUNTEER SIGN UP: After all Masses in The Plaza  this weekend, August 25/26. We need you!

DID YOU RESERVE YOUR SEATS for The Shamrocks and Thistles Ball? Seating is available on a first come, first serve basis only. Tickets are on sale this weekend in St. Paul Plaza after Mass, and brochures are in the kiosks.

BJJYA!... is the hea♥rt of Fallfest, and we need cash donations to help pay for all the ingredients. Please mark an envelope with "Booya Donation," and place it in the Mass collection or mail it to the Parish Office. Thank you.

BOTTLE BONANZA is back again. This Fallfest Game will consist entirely of donations from the parish. Please fill jars and bottles with various "fun items" that would mostly appeal to children. Each bottle should be thoroughly washed clean and have a lid intact. The dollar amount on the contents of each bottle is left up to the discretion of the donor, but should be worth at least $1 and not to exceed $5. Examples: candy, coins/bills, small trinkets or toys, school and art supplies, holiday items, new socks, lottery "scratches," etc. Cost to play the game will be $2 or 2 tickets. Direct any questions to Mary Anne at (651) 633-8333, ext. 1220.

RING-A-POP is a Fallfest favorite, and we need donations of 2-liter plastic bottles of assorted non-alcoholic beverages. Please drop them off in the designated crates next to the entrances to the Parish Center. Please call Ann if you have any questions at (651) 604-9341.

FARMERS' MARKET: We need you spare veggies, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, cabbages, etc. We also need  you pies, cookies, and breads of all kinds. And don't forget your green plants, annuals, and perennials; we need those, too! If you have any questions, please call Bernice at (763) 784-7889. Thank you.

WE WELCOME students and parents to meet their teachers and see their classrooms on Monday, August 27, from 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. "Meet My Teacher Night" is an opportunity to bring your children's school supplies and visit the homeroom for the year. Our physical education, music, art, library, and computer teachers will be present to meet all of you. Take the time to meet all the teachers that your children will have for the coming school year.

WE WELCOMED our kindergarten families to a picnic on Tuesday, August 21, with teachers and principal.  Families brought their own dinner and had the opportunity to meet and greet other families. We welcomed new families to a School Orientation meeting with the principal on Wednesday, August 22, to make sure they are  ready for the school year with correct information. 

WE WILL BE READY on Tuesday, September 4, the first day of school, for the students at St. John's to begin their classes at 9:20 a.m. School dismisses at 3:55 p.m.

THANK YOU to all parishioners who have contributed to the Assist-a-Student Program. For this year, the school had over $120,000 in financial assistance requests, but we were only able to give out $50,000, so difficult decisions  had to be made. Please make a difference and help those families who desire Catholic education, but are unable to  afford it. Call (651) 633-1522, ext. 1117. God bless you. 

DRAMA CLUB THIS FALL! The production for October 12 & 13 will be the "OZ." There will be a table in the cafeteria at Meet My Teacher Night to checkout a script .
