“Summertime and the living is easy.” That’s what the favorite old song says. The living may be easy, but often the giving is not. Summer collections often drop significantly in our parish because of vacation travel, sports schedules and other activi-ties that cause parishioners to attend Mass in other parishes. If you would like to make your giving easy and consistent this summer, please consider our electronic giving option. Many parish families are using this simple and secure way to make and track their parish giv-ing. If you would like to learn more, please contact Sharon Marren in the parish office or check out our website at http://thestmaryparish.org/ways-to-give/.

The Sister Isaac Center Mary Ann Kotas, Director
The other day, a young man came into the Center with his mother. He had done chores at home and earned $5.00; he want-ed to donate his funds to us. He had also been told that my article in the bulletin had mentioned a need for gently used toys; he brought in a basket full for us. He asked
for a tour of the Center and one of my volunteers showed him around. (I was in a meeting and was sorry I missed his visit.) His brother had pre-viously visited us with donations. We have young children involved in our outreach activities all year long. The St Mary School children are very involved. They are often seen bringing their canned food donations to us. Every year during Catholic School Week, they have a special drive to bring in hygiene type items for our guests. Our third grade class had a special project last November and presented me with $125.87. Some of our school children have an annual “Art Sale” for our Center under the auspices of one of our retired teach-ers; this year they raised $350. This has been happening for several years now; Sister always enjoyed visiting the sale in prior years. We still have some of their artwork on display. The children are a big part of our holiday activities; each classroom donates a full basket of food for a family at Thanksgiving. For Christ-mas, each classroom ‘adopts’ a child and provides special gifts of new clothing and toys for them.
St Mark’s children are involved as well; they, too, help with our holiday activities. Each year, one of their classes holds a ‘Baby Shower for Je-sus’ and gathers many new items for us to share with moms of infants. Another class comes over for a tour and brings canned food with them. On occasion, some of our volunteers bring in their child or grandchild to assist them; some help serve our guests, some help fold clothes, some help make the lunches their family provides, some ride along for a food pickup or delivery of holiday items. We are happy that the Center provides opportunities for the involvement of the school children that helps them develop an awareness of the needs of the less fortunate and ways they can be of help.
Special Need of the Week: Next Sunday is Share Sunday; please con-sider bringing a non-perishable food item when you come to mass next weekend. Since we close on July 31 for our summer break, we will not be able to pick up any furnishings until the first week of September; we’ll be spending the next week delivering items to our guests. The Sister Isaac Center’s last date for the summer is Tuesday July 31. We will then be closed until September (exact date to be an-nounced). To contact The Sister Isaac Center, please call us during normal hours at 762-5491, ext. 135.

guest’s needs, sorting clothing and housewares, managing furniture and incoming donations, clerical work and statistics gathering, replenishing supplies and hygiene items, shelving
and packaging food, handling recycling and trash, making repairs and improvements - it’s a busy place!

Principal
Joyce M. Price "Let your light so shine..."
Matthew 5:16 Home and School Officers – Three parents replied that they would like to serve! Our former officers and former Fall Festival Chairs are still part of our school family, so are very willing to help and advise.
HOW CAN YOU HELP? • FALL FESTIVAL CHAIR/CO-CHAIR • GRADE PARENT CHAIR – (Keep communication going among
class families.) • CHESS CLUB VOLUNTEER PARENT (This is an after school
club K-8. A coach is hired, but we need a parent coordinator. The club meets one day per week for one hour session.) Is this how you can help?
• SCHOOL WELCOME CHAIR (Reach out to new families with our warm St. Mary Welcome.)
Principal’s Vacation – I will be on vacation and will be back in the of-fice full day on Monday, August 6th. Until then, Mrs. Linn at x140 will help you. When I return, I hope to be able to announce our new teachers for Band/Music, Art, Middle School Math addition, and PreK3. Yes, we have enough students to bring back the PreK3 class. In fact, I believe we had a waiting list starting for PreK on Friday when we left for the weekend!
