CALLING ALL ANGELS |
| Have you ever noticed how good you feel when you do something for others, expecting nothing in return? Psychologists call this "physic income". I think God may call it "deeds of love". Here at St. Al's, we have a small number of parishioners, who need your help! Could you possibly clear someone's driveway of snow or cut their grass occasionally? Perhaps someone may need a way to the doctors or dentist office and have no one to turn to. If you can help out, you qualify to be an ANGEL. We are trying to start an ANGELS ON CALL ministry here at St. Al's. If you can volunteer your time for an occasional "good deed", please contact Shirley Schulten at 574-0782 or Jan Helmes at 300-6137. If there is no ans., please leave a message! Once we have a list of volunteer "angels" to call upon, we'll be set to go. Please give us a call! God Bless! P.S. Teachers and Scout Leaders may want to consider this for Marian Award projects , Confirmation work etc. |

children who are sick, terminally ill or suffering from trauma.
The blankets can be crocheted, knitted, quilted or fleece. The
majority of the blankets go to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

REPORTING FINANCIAL MISCONDUCT |
|
In a spirit of good
stewardship, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati has instituted a financial
misconduct hotline to allow employees, volunteers, vendors and other
interested parties to report what they believe to be financial misconduct at
any level - parish, deanery or archdiocese. As an additional safeguard, the
hotline is administered by an independent third-party company, Ethics Point.
You may report a concern on this hotline either by calling one of Ethics
Point’s trained specialists at 1-866-294-5256 or by visiting the website
www.ethicspoint.com. There is also a link on the archdiocesan website,
www.CatholicCincinnati.org, under the label "To Report Financial
Misconduct." |

We are so pleased to share this news with our school and
parish friends: six high schools have offered sixteen
academic scholarships to nine of our eighth-grade
students. These young men and women are to be commended
for their hard work. Their families are to be commended
for their support and encouragement. Our school and our parish (benefactors) are to be commended for nurturing these possibilities through their contributions to our school program. Congratulations to all! |

Scripture Study: |
|
SCRIP PROGRAM |
|
Scrip means
“substitute money” – in other words “gift certificates” (GC).
They are the same GC you buy at stores such as Old Navy, Kohls,
Chipotle, Panera and many others. Scrip participating retailers
agree to sell GC to our organization at a discount. You buy
them at face value and redeem them at face value and our school
keeps the difference. By using Scrip for your everyday shopping
needs, you are earning money for our school! GC are available
for purchasing food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and
dining out. Click here for all the details! |

Parish Registration |
| Parish Registration is required at St. Al's for the rendering of special services such as weddings and funerals. Because our parishioners support the on-going ministry of this parish through donations of time and money, the fees for parishioners in need of special services cover only immediate costs and are quite low. A substantial surcharge is applied to non-parishioners....If you consider St. Al's to be your "spiritual home," be sure that you have "an earthly address" registered at the parish office. |

PARISH SCHOOL OF RELIGION |
|
Do you have a child going to public school? Our Parish School of Religion (PSR) is here to help you in the faith formation of your child. Our Catholic faith is rich in teachings and Tradition. Our hope is to help you bring this teaching to your children along with the very formative value of Sunday mass. Children receiving First Penance, First Eucharist or Confirmation must attend classes in the year prior to making these sacraments. Confirmation is every other year. There will not be a Confirmation class this year. However, there are classes through the eighth grade. Learning is a life-long endeavor for all. Call the rectory at 574-4840 for additional information. |
