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

This prayer to St. Jude, can be used as a novena (a prayer said for nine consecutive days).
O Holy St Jude!
Apostle and Martyr,
great in virtue and rich in miracles,
near kinsman of Jesus Christ,
faithful intercessor for all who invoke you,
special patron in time of need;
to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart,
and humbly beg you,
to whom God has given such great power,
to come to my assistance;
help me now in my urgent need and grant my earnest petition.
I will never forget thy graces and favors you obtain for me
and I will do my utmost to spread devotion to you. Amen.
St. Jude, pray for us and all who honor thee and invoke thy aid.
(Say 3 Our Father's, 3 Hail Mary’s, and 3 Glory Be’s after this.)
Note that in addition to saying a prayer to St. Jude, we can invoke his aid by offering Holy Masses and Communions in his honor. We can also engage in charitable works in his name.
As St. Leo once said “Prayer has the greatest efficacy to obtain favors from God when it is supported by works of mercy.” Don’t forget to help someone in need as part of your prayer to St. Jude.

TY! God bless, Mr. “D’.
