House Tabs

Continue to save your tab-tops for RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE St. Louis!

These pure aluminum tabs raise over $25,000 for the 3 local houses here, so don't ever think small things can't make a BIG difference!

Collection 'aquariums' are throughout our school and there is a large yellow can outside of school doors you can drop off your tabs (and used Christmas lights as well!) 24/7! Save them at home and whenever you are about to throw a can in the recycling bin…pull off your tab! On Saturday, May 1 at the Park Avenue House, folks from all over the bi-state area will drop off their collection in drive-through format and the "weigh-in" will begin! Last year we came in first place for small schools! We have a little over a month to keep col-lecting for this year’s competition! Drop them off or call the parish office for a pick-up!

NOTE OF GRATITUDE

Dear BTC: We cannot thank you all enough.

The numerous meals you all provided, either planned or

unplanned, were key to helping us care for our guests,

and especially this year’s. Churches like you all who

keep stepping up and helping us care for folks give us

the hope and drive to keep going.

Thank you, Josh, Emily and Tony Ferguson Warming

A community of religious women will be coming

to St. Louis in July of 2021 to establish their pres-

ence in the archdiocese.

They are looking to rent, for at least one year, a

7-8 bedroom residence. It would be helpful to

have a location that is on a public transportation

route to St. Louis University.

If you are aware of a possible residence that

they can call their convent.

please contact Sister Marysia Weber, R.S.M.

Bulletin – April 18

Feast of St. George

On Friday the 23rd, we celebrate the feast of St. George. No-where is St. George more celebrated than in England. During the height of this feast’s popularity, dishes like roast beef would have been common. However, because it is celebrated on a Friday this year, fish and chips would make a delicious substitute.

Bulletin – April 25

Feast of St. Mark

Today is the feast of St. Mark. Legend has it that on the feast of St. Mark, Pope St. Gregory the Great, became overwhelmed with a craving for cherries. A servant wandering through the garden was visited by St. Mark whoblessed one cherry tree to produce early. The cherries were taken to St. Gregory and the tradition of popes enjoying a bowl of cherries on the feast of St. Mark continues today. It isn’t uncommon for the faithful to celebrate with a dessert like cherry pie or cherry strudel.

Tuck pointing work will begin on the main entrance side of the church this week! There will be scaffolding in front of the main doors so it will be necessary to use the Parish Center entrance and use the stairs or the elevator to access the church.
