continues with pledges coming in from many parishioners. We are grateful to all who have been able to make a pledge. We are also grateful to those who have considered the Campaign but prayerfully decided their personal financial situation does not allow them to make a pledge at this time. We
count on their prayers and hope in
future years they may be able to help.
For those who have not yet decided on a pledge or a gift, please give some thought
this week to what you may be able to do to assist your parish community in meeting this
responsibility to care for our school building. There are additional pledge/gift envelopes in the back of the church if you need an additional or a replacement. There are also a few packets with the explanatory
booklets and brochures if you did not receive one in the mail.
Any questions about the Campaign can be directed to St. Paul School (304-748-5225, or to our Pastor, Fr. Larry Dorsch (304-
748-6710).

"Sawatdee!" (which means "hello" in Thailand!)
This year's St. Paul & St. Joseph Vacation Bible School took us through four days
of trekking through Thailand, where the children learned many things about the
Thailand culture and that God's love is for everyone!
This year's VBS was the most successful we've had in many years…
over 100 kids in attendance everyday, with 50+ teenage & adult helpers on the crew!
Sally Frantz and I would like to thank so many of you who helped make this year's
VBS successful! We are already looking forward to next year's VBS
as we know many of you and your children/grandchildren are as well!
