WANTED: A part-time aide at The Atonement
Academy for two days a week. Are you “retired?” Here’s
a reason to get out of the house and work with our future
generation. Starting pay is $9/hr. Why not give it a try?
SPORTS: We are now accepting registration for
CYO track. Go to www.atonementsports.org
Please follow the directions under LS CYO
online registration. Please keep in mind that
this is a two-step process and both must be
completed in order for your registration to be
considered complete. The North Zone track meet
is at Central Catholic High School on March 5th.
This will be an all-day event, so please plan on
staying all day. Concessions will be available. All
participants are allowed to compete in two events
and a relay. (The relay team is picked by the
coach). The top two winners in each event could
go on to compete in the City track meet. We are in
need of several volunteers to help out during this
long day. If you would like to help or want more
information about volunteering, we invite you to
please contact Matt Tucker or Brian Schott at
Brian.Schott@AtonementOnline.com CYO softball
and baseball registration will be open in the first
week of February, with the season starting on
April 2nd.
The Atonement Academy CYO program is looking
for volunteers to help with the collecting and
distribution of CYO uniforms. One way we keep
the registration cost for families so low, is by reusing our uniforms. If we are unable to get
enough volunteers to help with this process, we
will have to go back to charging for full uniforms
and increase the cost of registration. If you have
any questions, please contact Brian Schott at
Brian.Schott@AtonementOnline.com. The CYO
program would not be a success without the
continued support from The Atonement Academy
parents and students!
STEWARDSHIP: Parishioners are asked to
consider their financial commitment to the parish
in 2016. Please fill out a pledge card, found in the
Narthex, and return it. If you desire offering
envelopes for 2016, please indicate that on the

and we all depend on the generosity of every
