This is the time of year when we like to stop and thank our MANY volunteers, who are at the heart of over 50 ministries at Saint Bede Catholic Church.

If you serve or have served in a ministry, please gather with us and fellow parishioners who make Saint Bede Catholic Church a welcoming community of disciples helping to grow disciples. Please call the Church Office at 229-3631 or email [email protected] if you plan to attend. Thank you.

Our work morning includes tasks that improve our grounds and buildings, and we wind up around 11:30 a.m.Whether you have served on MMM before, or are in-terested in helping for the first time, we would love to see you. All working people know the wise old saying, “Many hands make light work.” Feel free to recruit friends for us this Saturday and throughout the year. Par-ents will be surprised how much fun kids have volun-teering, so don't feel afraid to bring the next MMM gen-eration with you. There have been several children this year supporting us, and they are getting to understand the importance of 'giving back'. Thank you for your help, and please email Andrew Koenig if you can join us at [email protected].
