8th & 7th Grade Parent Lunch/Recess Volunteers
Thank you for volunteering! We are asking that each family (mom, dad, grandma, etc.) choose at least two days to volunteer for the month of September for 8th grade or October for 7th grade, each time slot being 11:00-1:00. This is a great way for you to interact with your child and his/her classmates during the school day! Lunch/Recess Volunteers should arrive to school at 11:00 and check in at the office. Duties will include supervising students at recess, escorting students to the cafeteria from recess, and supervising in the cafeteria. Volunteers will be with one teacher and two "core" volunteers each day to help direct. Remember that after your two volunteer time slots, you are done for the year, as each month is assigned to a different grade. Thank you again for your time and service to the students and teachers of SPB! Simply click on the grade level link to pick a time convenient for you: Grade 8 OR Grade 7
LifeShare Blood Drive THIS SUNDAY!
Saint Paschal Baylon will be a hosting a blood drive this Sunday, September 23rd, from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm in the Eymard Room. Please join us. Your blood donation is the gift of life for someone in our community, and what could be more valuable than that?
But wait . . . there’s more! LifeShare’s Educational Grant program contributes $600 in grant money for every 35 units of blood we collect. Double-red cell donations each count as two units of blood. Thanks to our donors, we’ve already collected over $4,300 from LifeShare, and an additional several hundred dollars from a similar program with the American Red Cross.
Please help us save lives and continue earning money for St. Paschal Baylon School. Hope you can come on Sunday!
We Recycle!

A Friendly Reminder from Our Parish Office
Blue Mass-Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at 9:00 a.m.
Parents & Guardians--HELP!!
We had no youth (Grades 3-8) come to train to serve in the church's ministry of altar server. Sadly, this has been a current trend that really concerns and worries me as a pastor. What can be done?
This once shy, lanky kid remembers being encouraged by my parents to embrace ministry in the church to grow "into myself." Without the gentle encouragement of my mom and grandmother, I would not have become the leader that this ministry started in me.
Below is the altar server training video - and I am willing to help train at a convenient time that is best for your child! So let me know if the after school sessions have become inconvenient and when it would be a great time to meet with you and your child. Do this ministry as a family - parents & children serving side by side - together - serving the LORD and our faith family!
Please feel free to contact me to let me know how we can encourage your involvement in this important ministry: jtlanesss@gmail.com The Body of Christ is not whole without your participation in it. Share your gifts and talents to enhance the Body of Christ and help our Catholic school grow in service to the community. Thank you!
