Greetings to All,
 
Each September as we collect scholarship donations, I say a prayer for the success of each student because I know each of them will face challenges which will present the potential for them to fail to complete their studies. These young ladies never let us down! All eight of them have, once again, completed the school year and passed to the next grade. Alphoncine Keita deserves special recognition because she finished fourth in her class of 37 students. Valerie Diarra also did a great job, finishing seventh in her class of 54 students. I  know you are very proud of them as they are very grateful for your faith in them and your generosity. I, too, am very thankful for your faithfulness to the Mali Scholarship Project. As these girls mature and look back on what you have done for them, they will tell their children about the difference you made in their lives. I continue to appreciate the great work of my partner, Adama Konate, our Project Director.
 
Best Regards,
Larry Boyd Nutt

If you ever have to miss Mass because of the weather or illness, here are some tips to keep your Sabbath holy.

• Read the Sunday Mass readings.
• Watch or listen to Mass on EWTN. Check your cable or satellite provider for the channel.
• Pray for the intentions of Pope Francis alone or with your family.

IMPORTANT:

• Fr. Andy and most other pastors advise that a priority for your safety and the safety of people on whom you might cough, excuses missing Sunday Mass for serious illness such as a chronic cough. Please if you have a chronic cough stay home and take care of yourself. And above all PLEASE avoid drinking from the cup until your cough or condition is gone.
