Inspirational Catholic CD Talks
For Sale Now
RCIA
Rite of Christian Initiation
of Adults (RCIA) at SMOY:
Interested in becoming Catholic?
Regardless of where you are in your
spiritual journey, we'd be honored to help
you explore full communion with the
Catholic Church. The RCIA (Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults) is the process
by which non-Catholic adults learn about
the Catholic Church and gradually become
full members. Every year, adults from
many backgrounds are welcomed into the
Catholic Community through RCIA. It is a
learning and loving process in which
conversion of the heart brings you to
Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior.
Take advantage of a wonderful learning
experience that literally comes to you, wherever you are. All you need is a CD
player! A display stand offering new talks can be found in the Gathering Space.
A $3.00 suggested donation per CD is a great way for you to take advantage of
this opportunity to learn, live, and share your Catholic Faith.
What’s So Great About Being Catholic?
There’s ultimately only one reason to
be Catholic: because it’s true. In this outstanding presentation, Jason Evert shows
us the beauty and the treasures of the Faith,
as revealed through the Saints and
Sacraments.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Parish Religion Program (PRP):
As you know, public schools are not
permitted to teach Christian moral values.
We are happy to help you in your role as
your child’s “primary teacher” of the Catholic, Christian faith. Our Parish
Religion Program (PRP) is designed to
deepen your child’s faith in Jesus Christ in
his Church. The program provides faith
formation for children in grades 1-8 who
do not attend the parish school. We also
have a program, 3, 4, 5 Alive, for children
ages 3-5. PRP includes session options
during the summer (1st-8th grades) as
well as September-April on Sunday
mornings.

ELIZABETH MINISTRY
Join us and help care for the newest members of SMOY!
Mamas, do you remember when your babies were brand new and tiny?
Those sweet little fingers and tiny toes? Those darling wrinkles in their tiny,
chicken legs? The way you could look at them and feel like you have never
loved anyone this much in your whole life? Those were the days. But then
again, there was the sleep deprivation, the pure exhaustion of caring around
the clock for a little one who depended completely on you. So much need.
So completely, impossibly tired with no end in sight. But, if you were lucky,
someone knocked on your door one day. You knew your hair was a mess and
maybe had a little baby spit-up on your shirt. She was older and wiser and
dressed in pants with a zipper, of all things. And she was holding a casserole.
She had a bag with fresh baked cookies, and a salad and maybe even a bottle
of wine. And everything was okay again. Someone loved and cared for YOU.
You were part of a community where you were noticed and cherished.
A community where you belonged.
At the Elizabeth Ministry, we ARE that neighbor to the mamas of new babies at
St. Margaret of York and we want you to join us. If you would like to make a
meal once every few months for a family in our parish with a new baby, please
contact Bridget Meerdink at bridgetmeerdink@gmail.com. It may feel like
such a small thing, but it makes a HUGE difference to our new mamas and
draws us all closer together as a parish family. If you have any questions about
other ways to get involved with or receive help from this ministry, please
contact Amy Konrad at amykonrad@gmail.com or 583-0279.

USED UNIFORM SALE
All people who intend to work or volunteer
in any of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati
parishes, schools, or institutions, must
attend a VIRTUS® Child Awareness
Session and complete a background check
before they are approved to work with
children.
Effective June 18, 2012, the Archdiocese of
Cincinnati substantially changed the way it
conducts training for its Decree on Child
Protection. All training sessions on the
Decree will now be known as VIRTUS®
Child Awareness Sessions. Each Session
will last approx. 3 hours. No one under the
age of 18 will be allowed in the sessions.
Watch the bulletin for new dates for VIRTUS
sessions being offered at SMOY.
For a complete list of dates for the Sessions
being offered at SMOY or nearby, please go
to www.virtusonline.org to register. For
volunteers, the Archdiocese no longer does
background checks via fingerprinting.
Instead, you will be asked to complete your
background check as part of your online
registration in VIRTUS. There is a onetime
cost of $25 to have this background check
run that we ask volunteers to cover.
However, this replaces the hassle and
additional expense of periodic fingerprinting.
If you have any questions, please contact
Matt Reinkemeyer:
mreinkemeyer@smoy.org.

We are no longer associated with the Kroger Rewards
Program, and here is why:
We found that in reality, we are only receiving 1% or
less than the 4%, as originally defined by Kroger. Over
the years, they have steadily decreased the “rewards”
given by excluding many products associated with the
program, and by putting a limit on their total charitable giving in any of their regions.

It was discovered that through our sale of the Kroger
gift card, we would still receive the 4% and have thus
begun to encourage their use. When Kroger realized
what we were doing, we were told we could not simultaneously sell their gift cards (4%) and participate in
the Rewards Program (1% or less). We chose to go the
more lucrative route. They threatened to cut us off, but
as of now, they have not.

We are looking at an alternative for folks to “pin” their
Rewards program to. Possibly, St. Vincent de Paul and
their Rewards # is 83570. Please continue to use your
card as it provides other personal benefits to you, such
as in-store discounts, gas discounts, etc., but know that
we are not receiving any benefit as a parish.
We ask that you continue purchasing Kroger gift cards
from us for your expenditures. You receive 100% of the
value, and the parish gets the 4% reward.
Gift cards are available after each of the weekend
Masses in the Gathering Space, and in the Parish Office
Monday - Friday during business hours.
If you have any questions, stop at the table in the
Gathering Space after 5:30pm Mass or contact Elmer Wahl:
ewahl103@gmail.com or 513-492-7048.
