"You shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand from your poor brother; but you shall freely open your hand to him, and shall generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks." Deuteronomy 15:8

In-Home Daycare is available for Holy Name Parishioners and School families seeking a Catholic Christian option for childcare located 3 minutes from Holy Name. If interested, please call Lisa Teney at 317-650-7819.

Oktoberfest is our parish festival and will be on October 4 & 5, 2019. Parish festivals require a lot of volunteers to be successful. Please consider volunteering in an area that you feel utilizes your individual gifts and talents, which greatly benefits our parish and school. It is a rewarding experience to volunteer alongside your fellow parishioners and is a great way to meet new people. We ask that each school family either buy or sell at least one Oktoberfest Raffle Ticket no matter how many students that you have at Holy Name School. Raffle tickets are $100. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold! You can also check with friends and family and go in together to buy a ticket. Each family who buys or sells at least one ticket will get an entire week out of uniform during the week of Oktoberfest for all of their students. Raffle tickets can be purchased through the School office.

If you are having trouble selling a ticket, please call Lisa Teney for leads. 317-650-7819

The Holy Name Oktoberfest is only a success with everyone's help! Volunteering at the event is fun and a really great way to get to know other school and church families. The link to the Oktoberfest Volunteer Sign-up Genius is now posted on the Holy Name Oktoberfest website at https://www.holyname.cc/oktoberfest, or directly at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D44AFA728A3FB6-holy1.

Oktoberfest volunteers are still needed -- especially in the Food and Kids Zone areas on Saturday night. We currently only have about half of the number of volunteers needed to run a successful event. Please prayerfully consider signing up to volunteer today!

The Oktoberfest Kids Zone is also in need of candy donations. Please send any candy donations to the school or parish offices (labelled for the Oktoberfest) by this coming Thursday, October 3.

Also, please be aware that there will be no tickets necessary for any of the Oktoberfest Kids Zone activities at this year's event. Instead, wristbands will be sold for $15/one night, or $25/two nights. Wristbands will give kids unlimited turns in the outdoor bounce houses, game truck, and school playground. No wristbands will be needed to play the kids' games that are part of the Health & Safety Fair; however, wristbands will be needed to win prizes. Wristbands are not available in advance of the event (such an option in the past only resulted in many lost wristbands!), but they can be purchased during the event at the Ofest Ticket Booth.

The Oktoberfest Food Committee is in need of large electric roasters for our upcoming festival on October 4-5. Please consider letting us borrow yours for this huge event! The sizing would need to be greater than 18 quarts (22 quarts would be preferable). You can drop these off, labeled with your name and phone number, to the Parish Office, the School Office, or after Mass to anyone selling tickets or t-shirts. Prior to dropping it off, please contact Robin Prendergast at 317-443-6855. You will be contacted after the Oktoberfest to have your roaster returned to you. Thank you in advance for your support!

Every other year, 20,000+ Catholic young people and their chaperones come together to pray, learn, and grow in their faith at the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) in Indianapolis. This year’s conference will be held November 21-23 at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium. As the host diocese, we need 1000 volunteers throughout the three days to serve in a variety of roles. A complete list of volunteer needs including descriptions, requirements, shifts and times can be found at: www.NCYC.info/volunteer.

Parents- please note, there WILL BE extended care Oct. 9th-11th for conferences and early dismissal.

Thank you

Extended Care is a pre-pay program. Please check your child’s balance and pay accordingly.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us!

Blessings,

Mrs. Miller
