From Our Pastor
My dear friends in Christ,
Recently we celebrated the lives of Charles Bradley and Helen Hawkins. Charles retired from Traylor Fertilizer after many years of service and Helen was a civil servant within Martin county for 22 years. She was a dedicated member of St. Mary in Shoals while Charles was a solid member of St. Martin in Whitfield. They both were faithful Catholics who served their community well. Helen and Charles will be greatly missed by all of us. May they rest in peace. Amen.
A special thank-you to Debbie and Lee Christmas who have cleaned the St. Martin Hall for some months now. At this time they have decided to step away from this responsibility . Debbie and Lee have done a very fine job for which I am most grateful.
Our Youth Prayer Group is now meeting on Thursday afternoon at 3:30, since we are teaching religion classes on Monday afternoon. We meet at the Parish Center -- all Jr. & Senior High youth are invited and encouraged to attend.
On Wednesday, August 31, 2016, from 4:00-6:00 pm there will be an open house at the Martin County Community Building to celebrate and honor Don Bowling, former mayor of Loogootee, and one of our distinguished parishioners. It is truly fitting to pay tribute to Don for all that he has done for the betterment of Martin County through his public service and volunteerism. Please join us in celebrating his life-long accomplishments.
May the Lord bless and keep you,
Father Walker.

Youth News with Mark Potts s
On Sunday August 28th, the Youth Group will be helping with our annual Hog Roast which is held at St. Martin Hall. We need students to volunteer and help with the event from 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM. We need to get at least 10 students, but are looking for as many as possible. If you would like to help, please report to the Hog Roast at 11:00 AM. Thank you!
On Tuesday, September 27th, we will begin our bingos at the nursing home once again. We will be calling at the Martin County Healthcare and Rehab Center at 6:30 PM. If you would like to volunteer and help please report there at 6:15 PM. Reminder: Confirmation students need to have their service hours completed by their Confirmation day. This would be a good opportunity to get started on those hours!!
We have already planned our next trip for the Youth Group. We will be going to Williamstown, Kentucky to go view the life size replica of Noah’s Ark. We will be going on Thursday, October 13th during the students fall break. During the trip we will tour Noah’s Ark and hopefully have time to visit the zoo and the other exhibits that they offer. We will have lunch at the restaurant they have on their grounds. Due to the time it takes to get there, we would leave around 7:00 AM and return between 7:00 – 8:00 PM. Times are not set in stone yet!
