Thoughts On Prayer Five Fingered Prayer 1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty." Reminder The first Sunday of each month is “FISH” Sunday. Please bring non-perishable food items, toilet paper, soap, paper towels or diapers. These will be given to FISH, an emergency help organization in Albany and distributed in food boxes for the needy. St, Mary’s School We are in the final week of our 2007 Annual Appeal and are edging closer to our goal. As Catholics, we should understand that all of us are called to bring Christ to people and people to Christ. What better way to do that for our young people than through a Catholic School setting! The support of our entire parish and school community is essential. All donors to the Annual Appeal will be recognized in the bulletin in the coming weeks. Donation forms are available on our website www.proaxis.com/~stmarysch/index.html
