SOUPER BOWL OF CARING
Next Weekend, February 4 & 5
More than 20 years ago, the Souper Bowl of Caring
began with a simple prayer from a single youth group:
“Lord, as we enjoy the Super Bowl football games, help
us to be mindful of those without even a bowl of soup to
eat.” Since that day, more than $60 million has been
raised for local charities across the country, through the
Souper Bowl of Caring. The number of Americans living
in poverty is the highest it has been in 52 years. One in
seven households in our nation are food insecure, which
affects more than 16 million children (source: United States
Department of Agriculture)
Next weekend, CYM members will be standing at the
church doors with soup pots collecting money for the
Souper Bowl of Caring. Every dollar donated at Holy Souls
will go to Our House Homeless Shelter.
Tackle Hunger with the CYM! |

UPDATE MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
Does our Church database have YOUR family
membership record correct? Here is your chance to
update YOUR record for our annual Guide Book &
Directory (if you haven’t already done so).
It is time for us to update our database with any changes,
additions, or deletions that may have occurred in YOUR
family over the past year.
Have you changed your phone number or email
address? Have you moved? Are you preparing to move
soon? Are all of your children still at home and are they

your record published?
If you have not already informed the Church Office about
changes to your record, please let us know now so that
the information in the Guide Book & Directory is correct.
The Church Office number is 663-8632 or email

GUIDE BOOK & DIRECTORY
Advertising Opportunity
We are in the process of updating our annual Guide
Book & Directory for the Church. This book will be the
Who, What, Where, When, Why and How of our
Congregation. The book is being provided at no cost
to our Church, including the mailing to each family,
and again is being subsidized by local businesses that
advertise in it. If you own or manage a business and
would like to find out about advertising in our book,
please call the Church Office.
Recent survey results by Guide Book Publishing show
that 92.1% of families would rather patronize a Guide
Book & Directory advertiser over a non-advertiser. It
“will pay” to advertise in our new Guide Book &
Directory. |

of each person and the parish as a whole.
We will need
parishioners around the clock in the church for the 40
Hours, can you give one hour of your time during lent
