This wonderful fellowship event features variously themed “baskets” created by our parishioners. Attendees from far and wide are amazed at the creativity found in the various themes, finding everything from children’s baskets to a baseball, movie, or chocolate lovers’ paradise.

“Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat” — Souper Bowl of Caring founding prayer.

Even though this has become a “national” holiday in our American tradition, it has also become a kind of tradition in our parish as well. Our youth asks us to participate in this important way again this year: to consider a donation for the “Souper Bowl”.

This is a national effort wherein funds are collected and given to local agencies to help in some type of relief. A “soup pot” will be available this Sunday for your loose change, folding money, or even canned goods.

Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!

Sunday’s Pampered Chef party was a great success. Several parishioners got into the act and assisted Barbara Porter with the demonstration. When Fr. Stan and Deacon Jim were called upon Deacon wondered aloud whether he and Father should start a cooking show — Cooking with the Clergy?

Here the youth get into the act…

The parish is hosting a Pampered Chef party on Sunday, September 6th following Holy Mass at approx. 10:45am in the Parish Hall, 1040 Pearl St., Schenectady, NY.

If you have even attended one of these demonstrations you know of the high quality and unique items to consider. Here’s a video of Pampered Chef cookware in use creating a Sauteed Chicken With Mushroom Sauce dish.

Please join us. All are welcome.

Remember… We are using the month of August to remember those in need of daily food. Please bring non-perishable food items through this month so that we can minister to those in need. It is not just during the Penitential times of the year that we collect food items or that those who are hungry are in need. It is throughout the year that this is true. Please make sure you bring in some items that can fill a table with necessary nourishment.

Remember, any amount will be helpful.

May God bless your sacrifice!
