Thanks to all who have sold their 365 lotto tickets.   The funds generated through the 365 Lotto Fundraiser go into the general fund. They help cover general operating expenses, such as salaries, building payment, utilities, etc.

⛪Safe Parish Update
In reviewing our SafeParish systems, I noticed that there are several individuals that are not current with their Safe parish account.  A new training was added this week and must be completed before January 2, 2025.  All SafeParish users should log into their account and check the status.  If you click on My Account,  you can view items that need completed.  The user account Dashboard is displayed in the screenshot below: 

Remember when you create  an account you must complete all parts of the background check to be approved to volunteer.

Original online training
Background check through Selection.com (there is a $25 charge)
View quarterly trainings and complete them to stay current

 Please complete any updates ASAP.  Until this is completed you are unable to volunteer or work with youth at the school or parish.  Please contact me if you have any questions or need any assistance. 
🎫Drawdown Ticket Update
This week we sent home packets to every SJCS family for ticket purchasing for our Drawdown on February 22, 2025 at Badin High School in the Pfirman Family Center. 
 We are encouraging every family to buy or sell at least 3 tickets for this event.  You can purchase a ticket even if you cannot attend.  You do not have to be present to win, but someone must represent you at the Drawdown if you are in the final 10 tickets.  You don’t want to miss out on a chance to be the BIG winner!  Please spread the word to friends and family to join us for this very special and fun evening!
 Tickets can be ordered 2 ways.  You can use the order sheet we are sending home and when the order sheet is returned with payment, your ticket will be added to the hopper.  Please return the flier with your order (in the envelope) to school as soon as possible for processing. You can also scan the QR code on the flyer and order tickets online.   After ordering with either method we will send any ticket stubs home to your family.  Early ordering will help us to ensure we have enough food and drinks for all attending and help to confirm our payout for the evening.  
 Be on the lookout for more emails and volunteer opportunities after the first of the year. Thanks again for your support with this very important fundraiser!
