The St. Patrick K.C. Ladies Auxiliary is an organization which assists the Knights of Columbus Council 8601 and promotes good fellowship through religious and social activities. The Auxiliary meets monthly on the first Thursday of the month (the same date as the KC Council) in the St. Patrick Parish Family Center beginning with a pot luck supper followed by the general meeting. Membership is open to all females, Catholic or non-Catholic, age 18 or older, with a willingness to support the endeavors of Council 8601. It is not necessary that a Ladies Auxiliary member be married to a Knights of Columbus member. For more information or to join the Auxiliary, contact Amy Lawler at 225-288-30558 mamylawler@aol.com or .

Auxiliary Monthly News

Our next meeting is Sep 2nd – so COOLER weather is on the way!!! Woo Hoo!!!

We have not yet resumed our potluck supper however, so we still need to wear masks at the meetings.

Don’t forget the fun service project at this meeting for the nursing home ladies.😊 Thank you MaryLynn Segalla! (details below)

Key Points:

1.  KC Ladies Auxiliary meeting Thurs Sep 2nd at 7:00 PM in Family Center.  This meeting will divide into separate meetings of the Knights and Ladies. Please wear masks while indoors. Don’t forget that we will be starting the 50/50 game this time so if you want to play bring your dollar bills!

2.  The 2021-2022 $10 Dues are DUE!!! If you haven’t already paid or deferred your dues for 2021-22, please plan to bring it with you. To make arrangements for dues please contact our Treasurer: Eretta Perrien eperrien@cox.net.

3. The 4th Weds, Sep 25th at 10:00 AM, Mass will NOT be celebrated for the Residents of White Oak Post Critical Care facility (Nottingham Rehab) with Father Michael Miceli.  The facility is still closed to visitors at this time.

HOWEVER, our project at the Sep 2nd meeting is to fill up 20 goody bags with snacks or rosaries or small personal items or be creative!  We can call it a “Labor of Love Day” goody bag since the following Monday is Labor Day!

We can’t go see these ladies but we can STILL cheer them up! So, MaryLynn will set out 20 empty goody bags and as we arrive, we can drop one of our 20 goodies into each goody bag. A Dollar Store, grocery store or anywhere with small snacks or travel items will have 20 of something small that these ladies would appreciate!

4. Don’t forget:  Bishop Duca will be at our 4pm Mass Sat Aug 28th.

Feel free to email, text or call me with any ideas, questions or concerns!

Love in Christ, Amy

GOD WANTS TO TEACH YOU TO DANCE:

 Living in the presence of God causes us to dance for joy. It is easy to lose sight of his presence. It is easy to wander from his ways. It is easy to become blind to his presence as a result of the crippling selfishness that we all fall victim to if we are left to our own devices. Fortunately, God is not content leaving us to our own devices.

The more we close the gap between the person we are today and the person God created us to be, the more we will experience that joy. The more we close the gap between the life we are living today and the life Jesus invites us to live through the Gospels, the more we will experience that joy.

So what stops us from closing the gap and dancing for joy?

Who or what is robbing you of joy?
