Volunteer Award
Winnie Lebo, our Saint Patrick's Outreach Ministry Westlawn Volunteer and former Westlawn Mom and Grandma, has been selected by Penny Gross, Fairfax County's Mason District Supervisor, as the Fairfax County Community Champion representing Mason District. Winnie will be recognized at a ceremony on April 24th for her hard work, care and compassion. Please join the Vestry in congratulating Winnie and thanking her for her service to Saint Patrick's Episcopal Church and to Westlawn Elementary School. According to Westlawn staff:
In 2010, Winnie started working with the Westlawn guidance counselors to identify needs in the community and then ask her congregation to fill those needs. Winnie has organized drives each year for school supplies, gently used winter clothing, and specific requests for Westlawn families in crisis. Winnie has collected over $1,000 in individual donations for gift cards to help families make ends meet. In 2013, Winnie discovered that one of our teachers was spending her own money to put together snack packages for Westlawn children who needed extra nutrition on the weekends. Winnie organized the "Snacks for Westlawn" program allowing Saint Patrick's members to donate snacks or funds to help Westlawn's generous staff expand and continue this program. Finally, each year Winnie organizes the "Westlawn Angel Tree" program, the showcase of the outreach ministry, to receive a list of children's requests for holiday gifts, coordinate the purchase, donation, wrapping and distribution of individualized gifts for Westlawn families.
Winnie, all of us at Saint Patrick's thank you for the opportunity to work with you in this important ministry and congratulate you on this well-deserved recognition.

The minimum contribution is $30; any additional donation is greatly accepted. We would like to receive your dedication two weeks prior to the gift date. Thank you for your support of the Flower Guild Ministry.
Our Heavenly Father:
Your love for us is unfailing. You have blessed this church -- a caring community where all are welcome and each is valued. Renew our faith during this time of transition.
Be with our pastoral search committee. Give them unity of purpose, and help them listen carefully to your voice. Let us be mindful that you are calling the right person to shepherd your flock at St. Patrick's.
All this we ask in the name of your Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen
