COLLECTING CLEAN GENTLY USED T-SHIRTS FOR ONE MORE WEEKEND

Once again we will collect clean gently used t-shirts for the Migrants that will be coming to the area in the near future. Please leave them at the doors of the church. Our April parish tithe will go to the Migrant Office of the Diocese so they will be able to purchase needed supplies.

PLEASE BRING THE T-SHIRTS ON OR BEFORE MAY 10/11

BENEFIT FOR HERMAN MARSHALL

A FUNDRAISER IS PLANNED FOR Herman Marshall, husband of Eileen Marshall, to help defray medical expenses. It will be held on Monday, May 12, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Ole Tyme Broadway at 1602 Broadway. Chicken and rib dinners are on the menu for $10 and $12.00 . For any other information, please contact Kathi Newsham at 892-4894. Donations will also be accepted. (Editor's Note: last month our parish tithe was split between the Marshall and Deyarmond Families. Both have serious medical situations and skyrocketed bills.)

THANK YOU

Dear St. Mary Tithing Committee,

It is with very humble hearts that our family thanks you for the check you sent us to help with expenses from Grace's illness. It was much unexpected, and we are so blessed by the love behind the gift. We plan to put the money aside for gas (future doctor's appointment in Flint) and co-pays from Grace's Doctors. We also hope to use some to purchase a few toys to donate back to the hospital. We love our parish family and support. The Deyarmond Family.

OUR APRIL PARISH TITHE

Our parish April Tithe of $575.70 will be given the Diocesan Migrant Program .

COOKBOOK PROJECT COMES ALIVE

Missy Davert, Meg Seymour and Lorraine Rice are willing to complete the second parish cook book. Our last one was done for our 125 anniversary. Well, this year we are 135 years old!!!! Information and forms for collecting recipes will be available in the near future. The ones that were submitted a couple years ago will be included also. It is hoped that the books will be complete to use as Christmas gifts for 2008. If you are willing to help to help with this project, call Missy @ 671-0243.
