The WEEK of JANUARY 1: WATER
WEEK
Last year we celebrated Hunger Week
packaging thousands of meals for the needy.
This year we will be concentrating on water issues for those in need. There will be a special lunch and
mini-retreat for all adults of the parish Wednesday, January 14, from 11- 1 in
the Parish Hall. During lunch, we will
discuss the symbolism of water and our baptismal call. We will also look at the need for better
water systems for many people. Please
join us for food, prayer, reflection and music. Contact Kathy Wipf 279-4654 ext 204, kwipf@sainttheresaiowa.org or Barb
