PARKER SCHOOL UNIFORMS SALE
|
Thank you to all the students, parents, and grandparents who purchased books during our Scholastic Book Fair. We had a great fair and earned a cash profit of $3,675.69. In addition, the Library will have the equivalent of $3,829.75 in "Scholastic Dollars" to purchase books from Scholastic. Thanks to everyone who purchased books to donate to classrooms. During the Book Fair, 132 books were donated.
Thank you to Carrie Gernhauser for coordinating volunteers, and to Heather Avila for making the Teacher Wish List board.
We could not have a successful Book Fair without all the wonderful parents, friends, and teachers who volunteered their time to help set up, work shifts during the fair, and to help pack up. Again, thank you for your support.

Thank you to all who purchased a gram and helped the National Junior Honor Society donate to a wonderful cause!

Sanctus Retreat Prayer Campaign
|
|
St. Andrew Parish will be conducting various Sanctus Retreats in the next couple of months. The next one is scheduled for February 27, 2016. We invite you to join us in prayer for the success of the Sanctus Retreat, the Retreat team and Retreat participants. The prayer campaign asks that you stop one minute of your day and pray for the Holy Spirit to ignite the faith of those involved in the retreat.
"Come Holy Spirit and ignite the faith of my
brothers and sisters at the Sanctus Retreat.
May the Holy Spirit assist them with greater
understanding of scripture and prayer and
be a companion to them throughout the retreat."
Amen
Everyone is invited to participate in this Retreat Day Prayer Campaign. Please share this opportunity with friends, family, and other parishioners.
