May we all strive to share Christ's selfless love with others through all we do and say!

We are looking for people who would like to advertise their business in our Operetta program. The Operetta is St. Cecilia School's spring musical that has been going on for over a century. Our Operetta this year is Roald Dahl's Wonka Jr, and it's sure to be a well attended event. We have over 800 people who attend the musical, and it's great exposure for your business. Please contact Christine Koehn at ckoehn@stcecilia.net if you are interested in placing an ad. All ads are in black and white. A full page is $200, half page is $100, and a business card size is $50. The deadline for ads and logo submission is Friday, February 16, 2024.

Contact Sheila Graham at sgraham@stceciliacathedral.org to sign up for a ministry at an upcoming Mass. Ministries include gift bearer, EMHC, greeter, usher, and server. We appreciate your family sharing of their time and talents!

We are so grateful for those who have supported our school families and Cathedral community for decades. Marletta McKercher, Jill Stoffel, Nancy Mulhal, Martha O'Connor, Elaine Pohren, Mary Kay Mans, and Jean Batenhorst-Smith kept this cherished tradition alive for so many years! After numerous years of dedicated service, the "Sisters of WE" are ready for the next generation to take the reins. There are multiple volunteer opportunities available in a variety of capacities:

• Core Group: commit to meeting once a month to organize and price donations
• Shed Clear-Out: check the donation shed and bring items downstairs on a week-to-week basis
• Pick-Up: use own truck to help pick up furniture donations and bring them to school as needed
• Pricing: assist at peak times of year during the monthly gathering
• Week Of: commit 7 days prior to the sale, helping where needed
• Day Of: commit minimum 2 hour shifts as a sales clerk
• After Sale: clear the cafeteria of any items at the conclusion of Cathedralfest

We appreciate any time you are willing to give! The task at hand is assembling the incoming Core Group. If you are interested in getting together each month to enjoy some lively camaraderie with other St. Cecilia parents, please text me at your earliest convenience at 402-319-7344 to join our crew as a year-round volunteer! We will begin meeting in February.

Thank you and God bless!
