This number isa dramatic increase from 2008 when we had only fourmen in seminary -- and is three more than we had lastyear! At the same time, this blessing presents thechallenge <strong>of</strong> ensuring we have enough funds to coverthe education costs, which currently averages $34,000annually per seminarian. To help address this need, allparishes have been asked to take up a special collectionon August 3 rd and 4 th . Funds received during this collectionwill be used solely to cover seminarian educationcosts (tuition, books, rooms & board, and health insurance).Any amount received in excess <strong>of</strong> our need willbe placed in an endowment in the Northern Michigan<strong>Catholic</strong> Foundation for future growth. You can help bymaking a gift to the Seminarian Education Fund andpraying daily for our seminarians and for an increasein all vocations. Please prayerfully consider your gift.This Week in Our <strong>Community</strong>MCC School Buildings Closed to ALL activities.Monday, <strong>July</strong> 226:30-7:30 pm RCIA (SJPC Library)Tuesday, <strong>July</strong> 233:15-5:15 pm Paper Recycle / Bottle & Can Drop Off(MCC - Paper Truck)5:30-7:00 pm <strong>Community</strong> Table (SJPC)6:15 pm Pinochle (SJPC lower level lounge)Wednesday, <strong>July</strong> 246:00-8:00 pm YM Beach Night (5 th Ave. Beach)Thursday, <strong>July</strong> 253:15-5:15 pm Paper Recycle / Bottle & Can Drop Off(MCC - Paper Truck)4:30-7:00 pm ‘Thanksgiving in <strong>July</strong>’ Dinner Benefitfor Matthew 25:35 Food Pantry (SJPC)7:00 pm ‘Children <strong>of</strong> Light’ Prayer Group (SM)Friday, <strong>July</strong> 2612:00 Noon <strong>Manistee</strong> County 24-hour Relay forLife Begins (<strong>Manistee</strong> High School)7:00 pm 4th HARVEST Early Bird DrawingSaturday, <strong>July</strong> 2710:00-2:00 Paper Recycle / Bottle & Can Drop Off(MCC - Paper Truck)Key Code: GA - Guardian Angels Church; GAPC - Guardian Angels Parish Center; MCC - <strong>Manistee</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> Central;SJ - St. Joseph Church; SJPC - St. Joseph Parish Center; SM - St. Mary Church; SMPH - St. Mary’s Parish Hall
