Inclement Weather
Wednesday Faith Formation Classes: If Hickory City Schools cancel school or after school activities because of inclement weather, we will not have Faith Formation. 

Because conditions can vary greatly, please use your best judgment and stay home if you feel it is not safe to drive.  But, please notify the Office of Faith Formation to say your child will be absent.

Help Needed
If you are interested in serving coffee and donuts after the 8:00 AM Mass on Sunday please contact Kathy Succop in the parish office, 828-327-2341.  This is a very important ministry and help is needed!

Meals for New Moms
Would you like to help new moms? At  St. Aloysius, we have a “Meals for New Moms” Ministry that works like this: when a new mom notifies us that she had a baby, word goes out to all members of the ministry and they can sign up to take her a meal! It’s a great way to meet new families and be of service to fellow parishioners. We are also looking for someone who is interested in chairing this Ministry. It is very easy to do if you contact members by email and use the website Takethemameal.com. If God is calling you to this ministry, please contact Kathy Succop at St. Aloysius by phone or email at stalscoordinator@charter.net.  If you have any questions about the role, please contact Krisitn Stober at 828-345-0191.

Prayer Book for Armed Forces
Have you noticed the white three-pronged notebook on a stand at the entrance of the church? We ask you to, please, add the names of your relatives and loved ones who may be serving in our country’s Armed Forces to the pages inside.

Turn Off Cell Phones During Mass
In respect for the sanctity of Mass and fellow parishioners, please turn off all cell phones during Mass.  Thank You!

Planned Giving
Adding St. Aloysius as the final beneficiary of an unneeded insurance policy can be as easy as filling out a change-of -address form. It could mean a large gift for the Church, without affecting your family’s financial security. For more information visit the diocese website at www.charlottediocese.org/giving and follow the link to planned giving.
