BRING TO LOWER LEVEL - NORTH LAKE CHURCH
About twice a year, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Parish runs the "free meal" on Sunday at the new site in Waukesha, Cooperating Congregations building at 502 N. East Avenue, (Broadway and East, former Larsen's Funeral Home) about three blocks from the former site at St. Joseph's. Our parishioners provide baked chicken (in pieces), or desserts, and volunteers to re-heat, serve, and clean-up. Vegetables and other incidentals are provided by the Loaves and Fishes program and are reimbursed. They will assist and train anyone interested. Please consider volunteering for this important ministry to "Feed the Hungry" in our local community. Contact the parish office at 966-2191 if you can assist or for more information on the responsibilities. If you are able to donate baked goods for the meals, please call Shaun 262-367-9995 or email her Shaun Pavlic and let her know what you are able to supply. Please remember to put your chicken donations in the refrigerator in the lower level of church.

LEFT DECEMBER 13, 2009.
The Christian Concerns Committee will continue to collect school supplies until our mission trip in December. Our parish has been so generous helping Red Cloud students succeed over the past 6 years. By shopping the “back to school” sales now, you can help again by donating some ‘special items that we are in need of. You may bring them in to the parish office at any time during the year.
These items are:
watercolors, 3x5 index cards, sharpies (any color), pencil top erasers, scissors, construction paper, tempera paints and nice brushes.
Thank you for all your help!
