New Opportunity for Stewardship Hours New changes have begun with the way our parish man-ages the cleaning of the church. We need all families to volunteer to clean at least once a year. Our school families will be able to apply this time towards their stewardship hours. You may sign up online on the church or school website through I-Volunteer. There will also be a sign up sheet in the entrance of the church. Two people are needed or one person can sign up for both slots. Details for cleaning are located in the closet in the back of the church. Two or three hours a week of cleaning is another great way to support our parish while also giving school families more choices for stewardship. Call Denise Smith at 812-623-4753 with any questions.

A Note From the Principal Thanks be to God for the beautiful autumn

weather of which we have been blessed. Thanks be to God for the beautiful autumn colors being displayed. Fall officially closes the 1st quarter grading period and it is only right that we acknowledge successful achievement. The attached Honor Roll/Perfect Attendance list is aligned with St. Nicholas School’s A rating by the Indiana Department of Education. Congratulations to those stu-dents who made the honor roll. Thanks to those students who have achieved perfect attendance. Continue your hard work as we continue into the 2nd quarter.

Thanks be to God for the celebrations of our liturgical calendar. Our All Saint’s Holy Day of Obligation will begin with Mass. After Mass, Mrs. Jack-son (Director of Religious Education) will lead our students in a Tour of the Saints. Each of the rooms have been dedicated to specific Saints and marked with a religious icon. Classes of students will circulate from room to room. In the afternoon at 1:25 PM, students are encouraged to dress as their favorite Saint and parade over to the gym. The 8th Graders will perform select-ed Saint skits. Visitors are welcome! These are annual traditions that will be transferred to the new facility.

We need your help in celebrating Veteran’s Day. Please provide the name and address of a veteran or an active armed force personnel. Our students are making cards that will be mailed to them. We will include an invi-tation to attend our Mass to honor them on Nov. 10th at 8:05 AM.

It is time to update your children’s immunization records. Attached is a consent form that we must have on file to update the CHIRP data base for immunization.

Milan buses will not be running on November 1st as they implement their e-Learning program promoting at home educational approaches. St. Nicholas School will be in session and Milan parents will need to provide trans-portation.

We are thankful for the Public Relation efforts that Education Commission Member Angie Hudepohl is making. She is using the bulletin to highlight school activ-ities as well as local and Archdiocesan publications to spread the St. Nicholas School good news. If you would like to try your hand at literary works, the Archdiocese is looking for articles (see the back side of the Honor Roll/Attendance Award list).

Please continue to pray that our works are rooted in our Lord and leading us in our discipleship.
