Update -- February 29 Fashion Show and Funds

Great news! Amanda and Michelle Diehl have agreed to go to Kohl's and help pick out the clothes for the fashion show! They both dress modestly, yet fashionably, so I thought they were a good choice.

Of course, if you have anyone else you would like to go as a consultant, just bring it up at the next meeting.

Now for more very good news... Sodality has $438.21 in its treasury! By the time summer comes and we are ready for our outing, we should have quite a good bit of money to help us fund our trip.

See you at the March 9th meeting.

God bless all of you.

Fashion Show Update

I went to Kohl's today to see if they would be willing to be involved in our fashion show.

The manager, Lisa Grasso, was GREAT and said that we can come in the store, pick out the clothes, sign them out and just return them when finished!

Everyone who models will get a discount on the clothes as well.

The Kohl's we will use is the one on Ford Road in Canton.

We now need to:
1. pick a date
2. get some models

Update -- February 25

Next Meeting -- Due to the party after second Mass this coming Sunday, our next meeting will be held on Sunday, March 9th after second Mass. We will still be doing the scrapbook, so be sure and bring your supplies. I found some good stuff around the house to bring...some nice papers, etc.

Bake Sale -- Sunday, March 16 (Palm Sunday) after all Masses. Mrs. Tibai is donating some blarney stones to be sold. The baked goods can be for St. Patrick's Day, St. Joseph's Day, or Easter.

Good Friday babysitting -- We will do this from 11:45 - 2:30. Two Sodality members have to be with the kids at all times. You will have a shift of about an hour. Jerry and I will come in periodically for support and to help you. The kids will have crafts, games, and video to watch. At 2:30 the kids will come down into the social hall and eat.

Fashion Show -- This is coming along really well! Christian mothers are doing the tea. I am going to contact some stores this week about providing the clothes. Will need models of all shapes and sizes and ages to show the beauty of all women and how we all can dress modestly, yet fashionable and lovely.

More later! God bless all of you~

Spring Fashion Show

I am going to meet with Chris Campbell, head of the Christian Mothers Group, and Barbara Day on Saturday, Feb 16 about the Spring Fashion Show.

The Christian Mothers Group has agreed to work with us on this. In fact, they are going to do the 'tea' part of it!


Pat Ryback has also offered to help plan this as she has experience with fashion shows. Clare K. and I are going to bring our hats so everyone can have fun trying on hats!

Prayer to St. Bernadette -- 150th Anniversary of Our Lady of Lourdes


O Saint Bernadette, pure and simple child, thou who wast privileged to behold the beauty of Mary Immaculate and to be the recipient of her confidence eighteen times at Lourdes; thou who didst desire thenceforth to hide thyself in the cloister of Nevers and there live and die as a victim for sinners, obtain for us that spirit of purity, simplicity, and mortification which will lead us also to the glorious vision of God and of Mary in Heaven. Amen.
