WHAT IS “1ST SUNDAY?”
“1st Sunday” is a program started in 2016 in response to Father John's desire for a Fellowship/Hospitality opportunity after Mass.
“1st Sunday” generally consists of a potluck meal sponsored by a different parish group such as the Pastoral Council, Hospitality, etc. The sponsors determine if their scheduled Sunday will have a particular theme, such as “Souper Bowl Sunday,” setting up tables and chairs, making drinks, accepting food brought in as part of the potluck, greeting the parishioners who attend and of course, cleaning up.
The attendees’ responsibilities include: bringing a food dish of some sort, for example, a vegetable, a salad or dessert to share, and most importantly, enjoying the good food and the fellowship opportunity.
Currently, there are sponsors scheduled thru July, 2017. If there is a group that would like to sponsor a month, we would love to have you. Sponsors could be an existing parish group such as CCW, School Board, etc., a family, or a group of friends. If enough groups volunteer, more Sundays might be added to the schedule.
Any group interested in volunteering, can contact the church office at 618-244-1559 or Butch and Jeannie Baker at 618-732-8238.
