UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON ONLINE
Virtual Learning Community for Faith Formation (VLCFF)
is a growing initiative to offer adult religious education and faith formation anytime and anywhere via the internet. The goal is to support the church's professional ministry of religious education and faith formation in cyberspace.

These courses
are an excellent way for parish and
school catechists to obtain certifica-
tion, and for all adults to learn more
about the Catholic faith. Each course
has 12-14 participants and more than 40 dioceses are part-
ners with the University of Dayton. Some of the courses
offered include: “Catholic Beliefs,” “Introduction to Scrip-
ture,” “Sacraments,” “Images of Jesus,” and many more top-
ics for learning about the Catholic faith in your own home.
Plan now to participate. The cost for each course is $40.

PINCONNING AREA FOOD PANTRY
The Pantry can use non perishable food and non food items.  With the local grocery stores offering many Buy One Get One (or sometimes two) free offers this may be a good time to support the Pantry.  With do many factories and shops being closed up or downsized many people in the area will need help these coming months.

ORGAN FUND DONATIONS
As a reminder for some and for some new information - For every $100.00 in donation to the Organ Fund you will be able to have a gold leaf placed on the "Tree" at the entrance of church either as a "Remembrance of" or in your name.  For more information please contact the church office at 879-5596.

DID YOU KNOW?????
Albert Einstein once said, "There are two ways to live your life.  One is as though nothing is a miracle.  The other is as though everything is a miracle."  Every child is a miracle and a gift from God-choose life, not abortion.  Click here for more facts.

The Catholic Church teaches life begins at conception?
Scientists say life begins at conception, but the U.S. Supreme Court says you can kill the babies from conception up to the time the child is born.

BEADS OF PEACE
St. Margaret Catholic Church (Riverton, Wyoming) has once again asked for our used and broken wire Rosaries that they may repair them and donate them to overseas missions, US armed forces, prison ministries, health-care facilities, and other activities where they are needed.  It doesn't matter what shape they are in: used, new or broken, they are able to repair most because they have accumulated a good store of spare parts retrieved from "inseparables".  A refurbished Rosary becomes a wonderful tribute to the original owner and a comfort to someone, somewhere, as part of God's ultimate plan.  A container will be placed in the back of church to drop your Rosary if you wish to donate.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED IN THE COMMUNITY
The United Way of Bay County is looking for volunteers to make a difference in their community.  Many opportunities await.  Please contact Cindy Miller at the Volunteer Resource Center 893-6060.

HOME VISITS & COMMUNION CALLS
St. Mary has in her parish people who take the Holy Eucharist to Home Bound and Nursing Homes.  These people will also take the Holy Eucharist to anyone who is unable to make it to Mass due to surgery, etc.  Or, if you would just like someone to visit for a short time, they will do this also.  Please call the office at 879-5596 if you would like them to contact you.

FUNERAL LUNCHEONS
As a parish Christian family we are called to serve one another in their time of need.  But due to the poor response from parish members when food for funerals is needed we will begin calling parish family members A to Z when a need arises.  This does not mean that you need to get a call to contribute,  please contribute any time.  These funeral donations are very important to our suffering families.
