GOING ON VACATION? Just like at home, we still have to pay the bills. When parishioners are away, we have to continue to meet the Churches expenses. PLEASE remember to turn in your offertory envelopes or contributions before or after you return, and have a wonderful time! Also, if you are visiting another Catholic parish while you are away, try to remember to bring Monsignor “B” a bulletin. It is very helpful to see what’s happening at other places around the States.
Tree of Life: A beautiful gilded Tree of Life is on the vestibule wall of Saint Alphonsus Church. The name of an individual or family to be honored will be inscribed on his or her own gold leaf. Mass will be offered annually for all those whose names appear on the tree or on one of the foundation stones around it. Parishioners, members of the Novena Family and Friends of Saint Alphonsus Church are invited to call Deacon Hugh Mills at (410) 685-6090 for information. All donations from the Tree of Life will be used for church and rectory restorations. Leaf donation is $500.00. Your gift is tax deductible. Payments can be made in installments.
We are still collecting aluminum cans for recycling. This is a fundraiser that doesn't cost you anything, brings the restoration projects a few dollars and helps the environment. You can drop off your clean crushed cans at the church office whenever the office is open. Keep those cans coming. Last year (2007) we were able to earn $372.15!!
In addition, please continue to remember to bring in your used computer ink or copy machine cartridges as well as old cell phones. This is a fund raiser that doesn't hurt but only helps. On the average, cell phones bring in up to $3.00 per phone. Remember, please continue to bring in those old used cell phones. THANKS TO ALL WHO TAKE PART IN THIS FUNDRAISER. Any questions please call the rectory office. Last year (2007) we earned $38.81 from cell phones!
Don't throw out those used up computer ink cartridges! We recycle them, also. In 2007 we earned $148.75 from the cartridges!
Every penny helps us reach our goal in making much needed repairs to St. Alphonsus Church. In addition to the above recycling projects, this year we will be collecting the 6 oz. DANONE yogurt cups. We can earn .02 each for them. So eat yogurt - it's good for you - wash out the cups and bring them into the office!
