SMA Winterfest 2022 Go to www.sma-pa.org

SMA Winterfest 2022 Basket Night will be held as a virtual event on March 13. You will be able to come preview the baskets and place your tickets in the containers on Friday, March 11 from 4 PM - 7 PM, Saturday, March 12 from 9 AM -11 AM and again from 3 PM to 6 PM. (We will not be in the gym from 11 AM to 3 PM.) and on March 13 from 10 AM to Noon. All winning tickets will be pulled via livestream from the gym at 1 PM . We ask that you please come during this timeframe so that we can keep our lines moving during the weekend of the event, however, we will still have these tickets available for purchase that weekend. Winterfest is such a successful event because of our parish family and surrounding community's support year after year. We are hoping that you, or someone you know might be willing to be a sponsor for the event (business ad or personal ad in our program), possibly donate a basket or an item for a basket. Whatever you can do to help with this endeavor we are most grateful. As for the weekend of the event, we will need to limit our number of attendees in the gym to keep with social distance guidelines and we ask that everyone who enters the school to please wear a mask upon entering, while in school and when leaving school. We thank you in advance for your patience, but most importantly we thank you so much for your continued support of the children of St. Michaels School. We will be selling tickets March 1 and March 10. Time TBD. We look forward to seeing everyone soon. Please contact Patty Walton for more information at 215-410-0687

Novena to St. Valentine
O holy Martyr, St. Valentine, pray for the Faithful, who are so persevering in celebrating thy memory. The day of Judgment will reveal to us all thy glorious merits. Oh! intercede for us, that we may then be made thy companions at the right hand of the Great Judge, and be united with thee eternally in heaven.

Antiphon: This Saint fought, even unto death, for the law of his God, and feared not the words of the wicked; for he was set upon a firm rock.

Let us pray:
Grant, we beseech thee, O Almighty God, that we who solemnize the festival of blessed Valentine, Thy Martyr, may, by his intercession, be delivered from all the evils that threaten us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

(Here mention your petitions)

Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father, Amen

Have a great rest of the day! God’s love, Mr. “D’.
