The Ladies Auxiliary held their monthly meeting on Tuesday, January 12. The ladies are planning to sponsor a book fundraiser to benefit the young patients at Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. Kelly Henke is organizing the book drive through Usbourne, a company that will match the funds raised by us. We have tentatively set the weekend of Feb. 19-21 for the fundraiser at all Masses.

The ladies will once again be supporting our Knights by working at the Lenten fish fries. It's very important that all ladies planning to assist the Knights at any activities including the fish fries be certified with the "Protecting God's Children" program.

Knights, please encourage your wives, daughters, mothers to become members of the Ladies Auxiliary. We'd love to have your ladies join us in prayer, fellowship, and laughter shared during our social time following the meetings. Our next meeting is Tuesday, February 9. Hope to see more ladies in February.
