Saint Alphonsus Volunteers
Nine members of the altar servers from St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church in Zionsville and their adult chaperone volunteered to move 32 tons of structural lumber to our parish. The lumber was donated to our church by Keystone Construction. The lumber came from the Carmel Lofts construction site. Parishioners Mike Piland, Bill Ferguson, Kevin Zahn, Joe, Nicholas & Thomas Kupec worked with our volunteers to load, sort and store the lumber. Thanks to Max Beaver who coordinated the truck. This wood will go a long way to support capital improvements at St. Athanasius in 2011. Special thanks to Marcus Loidolt, Mary Kupec and John Danovich for catering lunch for the volunteers. Mike Haluska and the volunteers took time to measure the kitchen as part of the kitchen expansion plans. God grant your servants many years!

Announcements
St. Phillip’s Fast
According to the forty day tradition, the Phillips’ Fast in preparation for Christmas begins on this Monday.  During this fast it was the custom to observe a strict abstinence on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and a lesser abstinence (mitigation for wine and oil) on Tuesday and Thursday.  The fast is observed more strictly from December 10 (in some traditions) or from December 20 (in other traditions), with daily strict abstinence, and a mitigated abstinence (wine and oil) on Saturday and Sunday.  The Ruthenian Metropolia has identified this period as a penitential season (Canon 880, § 2).  This fast may be observed voluntarily, partially or in its entirety. If you have any questions please ask Father Sid.

Thank you for those who’ve donated towards a new communion set: chalice, diskos, star, etc. and white vestments. We still have a way to go so please be generous during this St. Phillip’s fasting period.
