Parish Council Elections: Three Seats To Be Filled

The two-year terms of three

members of St. Patrick’s

Parish Council will be ex-

piring after the first of the

year: Nancy Balash, Dennis

Mills and Jim Shurtliff. Nominations of

individuals to fill these soon-to-be-vacant

positions are currently being accepted.

The council serves in an advisory ca-

pacity to the pastor of the parish and as a

representative of the parishioners who

may have questions, suggestions, and/or

concerns about St. Patrick’s. It normally

meets one evening each month in the par-

ish hall and coordinates a number of fund-

raising activities (such as the spring festi-

val and the wine tasting) during the year

as well as the annual parish Christmas

party.

It is recommended that nominees be

faithful parishioners whose perspectives

and opinions the nominators respect.

Nomination forms are available in the

Rose Room. You are requested to place

your completed nomination form in the

basket that is provided.

A person may nominate himself or

herself.

Ballots with the names of nominees

who indicated they would be willing to

serve will be distributed at weekend

Masses in late January or early February.

Thanks ♥ to Nancy, Dennis and Jim

for their dedication and service!

A Wish for the New Year . . .

May the new year bring you an abundance of amazing oppor-

tunities, beautiful moments, and joyful experiences. May your

positive actions & attitude inspire others. May you be brave

enough to take on and overcome rewarding challenges. May

you find yourself in high spirits & excellent health. May you

love with all your heart and find peace in even the most tur-

bulent of times. May the love you give always find its way back

to you multiplied. And may you forever be filled with the hope

& strength necessary to make your dreams a reality.
