Scrip sales are up thanks to all of you!
After Father Mike’s inspiring words about Scrip at Masses
two weeks ago, Scrip sales were up with many new customers flocking to the back table! We sold $5,615 in Scrip
and earned $300 in revenue for the Parish last week! According to Father Mike, “Scrip is a no-brainer” when it
comes to how easy it is to help out the Parish’s bottom
line, and yes, he uses it religiously (pun intended!).
Thanks to those of you who came back to try it for the first
time or simply asked to see the sales sheet. Feel free to
look
over
the
Scrip
cards
available
at
www.shopwithscrip.com anytime – we carry many in stock
at the back table and can order any we don’t. And remember, if you’re in a hurry after Mass, just drop off your order
with a check/cash in our Express Order box on the table
prior to Masses and we will have it filled for you by the end
of Mass. Thank you for supporting this easy income-maker
(and thanks to Father Mike for the testimonial!).

Get ready, high school youth. You are made for more than what the world
sometimes tells you. The world sometimes feeds us with lies of who we
“should be”, displays paintings of what we “need to do” to be successful,
and often provides temporary reliefs from the pain and struggles of life.
But “Made for More” is the time for you to reflect upon who you are!

CATHOLICISM
The New Evangelization
Wednesdays, September 24 to October 29
6:30PM - 7:45PM
St. Margaret Mary Church
Facilitator: Mary Beth Fowler
CATHOLICISM: The New Evangelization is a new documentary and six session, multimedia faith formation program.
Hosted by Fr. Robert Barron, of Wordonfire.org, the documentary focuses on the cultural obstacles the Church faces
today in its evangelization mission.
Fr. Barron interviews many leading commentators on faith and
culture who share their insights on how we can more faithfully
put forth the message of Christ. Fr. Barron also showcases
numerous examples of individuals and groups proclaiming the
Gospel with creativity and innovation. We will see the Church
coming alive with a renewed spirit in many parts of the world,
talking about the Lord with new expressions, and reaching out
globally with new communication tools.
Each session will provide participants with helpful commentary and discussion materials, which will enable deeper understanding and application of the material to their spiritual life.
Call St. Margaret Mary Parish Office to register: 729-4560.
