SMCPS FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN CONTINUES; REFLECTION DAY AT ST. MIKES; DISCOUNT TICKETS FOR COMEDY SHOW

FUNDRAISING UPDATE The SMCPS fundraising campaign continues through Lent. Holy Week begins this Monday- an ideal time to consider making a donation. The first $10,000 of the donations will be used for the immediate renovation of a school bathroom above St. Michael’s Church. The SMCPS has made an initial $6,000 donation to the Parish to begin the work. This bathroom has not been used for over 25 years and is a water-leakage threat to the hand-painted ceiling of St. Michael’s Church. A working bathroom is also required to begin reusing the school classrooms for non-profit community groups. Photos of the bathroom are below. 1ST SATURDAY REFLECTION DAY WITH FRANCISCAN SISTERS First Saturday Reflection Day at St. Michael’s Church continues Saturday, April 7 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
