Service Hours Opportunity--Barb Haig, a parishioner at St. Sebastian, is coordinating volunteers for an event at Sebs on Sept. 27th. Here is her message: For the first time, St. Sebastian is offering tours of our beautiful church as part of Historic Milwaukee’s Doors Open initiative on Saturday, September 27. We need about two dozen volunteers in 2-hour shifts to help build awareness of St. Sebastian parish and our mission while showcasing our nearly 100-year-old building. We are looking for greeters, who will welcome people to the Gathering Space and show them where to go. Just go to Signup Genius to confirm your time: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F4AA4AC2AA6FCCF8-58384458-doors#/ Questions? Just let me know! 414-617-7923 or BarbH1836@gmail.com Thanks and spread the word, especially to teens who are looking for service hours!

Mail carriers have received an order form for Home and School's Oktoberfest FUNdraiser. The sale for products from the Milwaukee Pretzel Company starts Sept. 12th and goes to Sept. 26th. Orders and money (1 check per family made out to St. Sebastian H & S) are due on Sept. 26th. Pickup of the orders will be on October 17th.
The 8th Grade Families are looking for additional volunteers for their upcoming fundraiser, Family Roller Skate Night in Wauwatosa at St. Pius X on Saturday, September 20th. We still have some volunteer positions to fill both with adult and student volunteers. Please note 5th-7th grade students (or any 8th grade students NOT going on the DC trip) may use this volunteer time towards their 5 hours of required service hours that are due in November. Volunteer spots are short enough and structured so students can spend some of the time volunteering AND still have half the night to skate with their friends. Please sign-up ASAP using the Sign-Up Genius link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0548A5A823A2F58-58069987-september#/ If you have any questions, please contact Stacey Rebholz srebholz@saintsebs.org. Thanks for considering if you can offer your time for this event!
