Norton Pines Athletic Club is sponsoring a Saint Mary's Catholic School Family Fun Night on Friday, October 28, 2016. This event is from 5:00-8:00 p.m. Half of all admissions will go back to St. Mary's PTO. See the flyer attached below for all the information.

We have heard from many of you whose parishioners have expressed a desire to assist the victims of Hurricane Matthew. It is wonderful to witness this spirit of generosity from our Catholic community in these situations.

 At this time, the Diocese of Grand Rapids is encouraging that donations to assist victims in Haiti and other Caribbean nations be made through Catholic Relief Services (CRS) which is working directly with the people in need in those countries. Catholic Relief Services is the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic bishops in the United States.
 
If parishioners would like to help victims in the United States, please make a donation through Catholic Charities USA.
 
Links to both organizations’ relief efforts may be found here: http://www.dioceseofgrandrapids.org/multimedia/Pages/Hurricane_Matthew_Relief.aspx#.V_6DGuArKUk
 
We also ask for continued prayers for all those affected by Hurricane Matthew and the families of those killed in the hurricane.
 

Our "Buy A Brick" program is in full swing. Now is the time to etch your name into the new Education Center forever! We have space for approximately 800 custom engraved bricks in the walkway to the new education center. You can have up to 3 lines with 13 characters on each line. This is a great way to honor past alumni, current students, family members or special family occasions. Some folks have inscribed their favorite bible verse and/or quote. The combinations are endless. For more information visit www.stmarysl.org/msow.html. The cost per brick is $150 and bricks are 4"x8". Call the parish office if you have questions, 616.842.1702.
