School Penny Drive Fundraiser to support relief efforts in the Bahamas.

St. Mary's School Penny Drive Fundraiser begins today in response to Bishop Walkowiak's request to support relief efforts in the Bahamas. Our students have been asked to exercise the virtues of generosity and kindness to meet this need. 
 
Prayer for disaster relief:
God of hope and mercy, we lift up to you all victims of natural disasters and those responding with assistance and aid. Protect all who are in any form of danger; provide practical help to those in need; strengthen the weary, console the grieving, heal the suffering; and bless those engaged in disaster relief efforts with safety and courage. Help all people of good will respond with compassion and generous hearts.  Amen.
