40 Days for Life

Email from Mike K:

Please see below from Nina regarding the 40 Days for Life prayer campaign. I’m out of town next week. Could you spread the word to the Knights and Men’s Ministry.  Doug, I will forward the email to our Council. Thanks!

Mike K. 

Begin forwarded message:

Hi Mike,

The 40 Days for life campaign is in full swing. We are trying to get coverage for the week to pray and hand out flyers with resources at Planned Parenthood on North Hamilton st. 

Would you be able to spread the request to your contacts? How about the Knights of Columbus? There must be a few retired men who could come one hour a week. 

You can give them my contact info so I can try to meet them there or find someone else to meet them. 

When people sign up on line it helps to know there will be others there as well. 

The website is:

Call me if you need any help!

 

Looking forward to seeing you at the Fish Fry!!

A little help needed

Email from Burke I:

Hi,

This is Burke, one of the new guys to the St. Bridget's group. My wife, Teresa, and just moved to the area and we really love it. Teresa is a psychologist and is working to set up her practice here. She is looking for a small office space, something that has a waiting room and a bathroom. Near St Bridget's, a little west of Richmond, would be ideal. Could you pass this along to the men in the group to see if anyone knows of any places or has a lead on how she might go about finding the right spot? We'd really appreciate it. We're still new and do not have a lot of resources to turn to.

Teresa's email is teresa.matous@gmail.com if anyone would like to reach out directly to her.

Peace in Christ,

Burke
