St. Patrick Parish Picnic
Parish Picnic to be held on Sunday, Sept. 8
St. Patrick Church will be grilling hamburgers and hotdogs served up with chips and watermelon for a fun family picnic on our new lot just north of the Commons! There will be balloons and bubbles for the kids, and lawn games for everyone. So make plans to stay after the 9:30 or 11:30 Mass and grab a dog and toss a bag! All St. Patrick School students and families are invited!
Student helpers needed for Parish Picnic!
Parents, there are some service opportunities for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students at the upcoming St. Patrick Parish Picnic on Sunday, Sept. 8. We could use some kids who are willing to help carry plates for older parishioners or those with young children. Helpers for the lawn games and handing out balloons would also be great.

Volunteer Night at the NE Iowa Food Bank
All families are welcome!
St. Patrick School has a long standing tradition of family volunteer nights at the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. This year, we are hoping to get involvement back up to pre-COVID levels, but we need your help. The food bank always has great volunteer jobs for us to do that are age-appropriate for our students and give you the opportunity as parents to teach your kids about why the food bank is critical to our community.
Please join us on the 2nd Tuesday of each month (except March) this school year from 6-7:30pm. This is a great way also for the 5th-8th graders to complete their required service hours.
Our first volunteer night of the year will be held Tuesday, September 10. We are limited to 30 spots, so if you are interested, please contact me, Erin Youngblut, at erinyoungblut@gmail.com to register.
