 Thoughts From The Pastor Minimize

Tuesday, Jan 26 

We received another $2,000 for Haiti Relief last weekend, so now our total is over $17,000.  Our grade schoolers have collected an additional $1,500.  The need is, of course, ongoing.  Just write "Haiti" on your check or envelope and we'll send it on to the Archdiocese - in turn they send it on to Catholic Relief Services.  Let's also continue to offer our prayerful support.

We're preparing to celebrate Catholic Schools Week, Jan. 31 - Feb. 6.  Despite financial challenges, a Catholic School is great blessing for a parish and one of the best ways to pass the Catholic Faith on to children.  Thanks for your support of our SMMA Grade School.

 40 Days For Life Minimize

Attention: The next 40 days for Life campaign is set for
February 17 to March 28, 2010.

The SMMA Holy Name Society and Pro-Life Committee
have adopted Saturday, February 20, 2010

as a parish project to participate by witnessing silently and prayerfully at the Planned Parenthood Clinic on Forest Park Blvd and Boyle Avenue from 7am to 7 pm.

All parishioners are encouraged to spend at least one hour in silent witness there. Sign-up sheets for particular hours will be available in the church foyer after all Sunday Masses or just go down there as your schedule allows

To become more knowledgeable about this campaign go to:

www.40daysforlife.com

In the recently completed Fall 2009 campaign, held in about 230 locations throughout the United States, Canada and Denmark, 607 women are known to have broken their appointments at abortion clinics, nine abortion clinic employees quit their jobs and shortly after the campaign ended at least two abortion clinics closed permanently.

Sign-up info - directions to the facility and a Statement of Peace you are asked to complete is on the 40 days for life website at:

www.40daysforlife.com/stlouis/adoptaday

 Questions call John Murphy 314-304-6906 or email: jpmurphystl@gmail.com
