Nun Run 2010—Spring Break
If you are a single CMU woman, you are invited to join us for our annual Spring Break “Nun Run” March 6-12.  The Nun Run provides an opportunity for young single women to learn more about women’s religious life. We will visit three or four communities where we will participate in the daily life of the convent, praying with the sisters and learning about their way of life.  Contact Fr. Will for more information.
 
World Youth Day 2011 Pilgrimage—Madrid, Spain!
St. Mary’s will join 1,000,000 Catholic young adults from around the world in Madrid, 15-21 August 2011, to celebrate faith and grow in our love of Christ.  Pope Benedict will meet with young adults that week, and celebrate a final Papal Mass on the 21st with an estimated 2,000,000 people.  Our pilgrimage will go 1-22 August.
 
Preparations for our pilgrimage begin this summer.  Sign up now to get on an email information list by contacting Fr. Will at will.prospero@stmarycmu.org. Brochures with details and a registration form are in our main entries. For more information about World Youth Day see www.madridwyd2011.com.
 
Alternative Spring Break Fundraiser
Participants in our Alternative Spring Break (a Habitat for Humanity project in Alabama) will host a fundraiser here on Sunday, February 28, 7:00-9:00pm It’s an all-you-can-eat pizza extravaganza! Tickets are $7 each. If you would like tickets, call Jeremy at the parish office or e-mail him at priestermeister@gmail.com. Donations to defray the cost of the trip are also welcome.
 
Change in Choir Rehearsal Schedule
Newcomers Welcome!
Effective immediately, the St. Mary’s choir will only be rehearsing each week at 5pm on Sundays before the 6:00pm Mass. If the time commitment on Wednesday nights has kept you away, come and join us now! Every one of us has the natural gift of singing that God has given us. Don’t keep it to yourself! Come to choir and we’ll help you develop that gift so you can share it in order to help beautify the liturgy!
 
The Sacrament of Reconciliation
Fr. Will hears confessions during one hour before Sunday Masses, one half hour before daily Masses, and by appointment. A communal penance service with individual confessions is scheduled for Wednesday, March 24 at 7:00pm.
