Koster Kleaners
We have renamed our Martha’s Minions cleaning group to Koster Kleaners.
Koster comes from an Old Dutch word meaning Sexton, one who maintains the
appearance and cleanliness of the church. This word honors Fr. Matthew’s
Dutch heritage and his keen interest in making St. Brendan’s church a clean
worship place that we can all be proud of. We are currently looking for
volunteers who are interested in helping clean the church, chapel, and
connecting space once a week. No training is necessary just the willingness to
give a little time, have a giving heart, a desire to clean with others and maybe a
little elbow grease. Contact Denise Morton if you are interested at
denisemorton@gmail.com; 770-888-4018.

St Brendan’s Offertory Pledge Commitment Weekend
Be on the look out for information regarding the parishwide renewal of our Offertory Pledge Commitment which
will take place during Masses this weekend. You should
see bulletin articles, email notifications and homilies
focused on the Stewardship of time, talent and treasure
during this month. St Brendan's hasn't conducted a
renewal of Offertory pledges for a number of
years. Recently, while routine expenses have been
increasing and required maintenance has been delayed,
our Offertory collections have not increased at all for the
last 3 years. During this time of discernment, please
consider your family's personal role in the support of our
parish.
Thank you.
