Welcome to St. Boniface Church
SHEPHERD`S NOTES
February 5, 2012 ~ Fifrth Sunday in Ordinary Time + Reflection
Jesus’ healing of Peter’s mother-in-law was very personal: he approached her, grasped her hand, and helped her up. Further, in reaching out to the whole of Galilee Jesus responds to the universal human condition of misery and hopelessness. But he always does so in a very personal way. The ministry of Jesus is truly about all humanity’s experiencing transformation of human hopelessness through personal encounters with Jesus.
PARISH AUCTION ~ If you have not reserved your tickets for the Parish Auction entitled “Matters of the Heart”, please do so this week. The auction will once again be held at SIUe on February 11. As you know, the annual auction is one of our parish’s major fundraiser which supports the many ministries of the parish, including the parish school. This enjoyable and festive evening is a wonderful way to support the parish and enjoy the company of fellow parishioners and friends of St. Boniface. Join me in thanking Sue Papajcik, Denise Guetterman, and Kasey Johnes and the many other volunteers for their countless hours in preparation for the event.
Pastoral Council Meeting ~ The Saint Boniface Pastoral Council will meet on Tuesday, February 7 @ 6:30 PM in the Parish Office Conference Room. All council members are expected to attend.
Ministry Fair ~ I would like to remind the liturgical coordinators of the various liturgical ministries and the leaders of the fundraisers, and other service groups, to contact those individuals who signed up to participate/volunteer at the Ministry Fair.
FYI ~ The Season of Lent begins on Wednesday, February 22!
Finance Council ~ The parish’s Finance Council will meet on Thursday, February 23 @ 7 PM in the Parish Office Conference Room. All members should plan on attending.

The BONA LOUNGE—the place to B!
The Bona Lounge , which will be opening soon in the basement of the Parish Office building, will provide a unique space for a variety of events and socials which will include meeting spaces for parish groups, a kitchen/ bar area for eating and feasting, Steeple People and Tower Teens gatherings, wedding rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, showers, after Saint B ballgame socializing, and Theology on Tap sessions. The parish maintenance team hopes to have the new space ready for use in February. Until then we need a few items to complete the space including two flat screen TVs, 12 bar type stools, stove, refrigerator, microwave and a new exterior door. I am seeking parishioners who want to help get the doors of Bona Lounge open soon by donating these items and/or making a donation toward the project. If you are eager to help out, contact Father Jeff @ the Parish Office or in person or
jgoeckner@st-boniface.com.
