The West Virginia Catholic Sharing Appeal

continues with nearly $13 million raised through our Diocese for our collective ministries of Catholic Charities educations communications and outreach Parishes and missions all over West Virginia are participating in this annual effort to fund these ministries that are beyond the resources of any one parish and to also fund local projects through the monies returned once fifty percent of the parish goal is met Our parish has met the half way mark 58 We thank all the 74 families who have contributed to this fund Everything we receive from now on will be returned to our Parish If you have not yet sent in you contribution to the Catholic Sharing Appeal please consider doing so this week

a special request for help

St Paul Grade School had the opportunity to purchase eighty ChromeBook Computers for our students along with four charging and storage carts at a very good price We made the

purchase in the hope that we could find individuals and groups willing to assist with the cost

In todayrsquos educational environment computers are a necessity not a nicety Many textbooks are now provided on line or as a computer file Work pages are served and scored via computer Reading is

assisted by on line tutors Research is no longer done paging through encyclopedia volumes but searching the internet

The average cost of a ChromeBook and a share of the cart is $225

We are asking those who are financially able to purchase these ChromeBooks for use by the students in our school All students

use these computers and they belong to the school Your contribution would be to St Paul School and to our ministry to the

over 200 students who have begun a new year of education

Envelopes for your donation are included in this bulletin and in the back of the church If you cannot afford the full $225 for a complete ChromeBook any contribution would be appreciated

Thank you
