Help PTC raise funds for Sacred Heart!
Volunteer at home anytime during the week of March 10-16.
PTC is helping CSCOE with volunteers for their Big Bang Catholic STEM Fair for a $5000 grant to support our school community!
The first request is to do preliminary judging of submissions during the week of March 10-16. CSCOE will divide submissions for review among the volunteers, provide a log-in and training, and then you submit your response to a few questions for each video assigned at your convenience anytime during that week. The more volunteers we have, the fewer videos each person will be assigned.
The second opportunity is to help set up Friday, April 12 at Visitation from 4-5:30.
The third opportunity is to help the day of the event on Saturday, April 13 from 7:30am-2:30pm.

Small Groups in Lent: Come and See!
“In choosing the Twelve ... we could say that Jesus formed the original Christian small group, and once again set the example by saying, ‘Follow me.’“ - Archbishop Hebda
Have you heard something about Archbishop Hebda’s call to join a small group this Lent, but you’re not sure what that means to you?

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
It is the smallest of all the seeds
The Gospel tells us the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed, the smallest of all seeds, no bigger than a head of a pin. It is easily overlooked. With the youngest children in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd atrium, we focus on just one of these tiny seeds and wonder what happens to it when it has been planted.
Not Catholic But Listening

Meets: Feb. 23, March 8, Mach 22 at 7:30 a.m.

Need help paying for tuition?
MN Fundraising Initiative (MNFI) secures contracts with over 23 venues in the greater Twin Cities area including Target Field, Target Center, Canterbury, and US Bank to operate food and beverage concessions stands at their events.
MNFI organizes teams of volunteers from all over the state of MN and WI who work together to run these stands. In turn, MNFI receives donations from these venues. The donations are then used to award grants to families in local communities to allow youth to attend private school, such as Sacred Heart Catholic School and participate in enrichment activities they may not otherwise be able to enjoy. Checks are mailed directly to Sacred Heart in your name.
Many of our school families use this organization to help pay for tuition.
