Sports Party!!! St. Mary Catholic School

Annual Auction
Saturday, April 28, 2012
6:00pm
Have you saved the date yet? This is the largest
fundraiser for our school. If you are not familiar, the
annual auction is the continuation of what used to be the
annual dinner dance founded by the Dible family. The
Dible family established a school scholarship fund in the
memory of Rick Dible, a parish member who felt very
strongly about education rooted in our faith. Even now,
a portion of the auction proceeds goes to help fund the
Dible Scholarship fund.
So, as we continue to remember our humble
beginnings and look forward to a future of endless
possibilities, we ask that you become a part of our
family and attend our auction and enjoy a night of
fellowship to continue the catholic education of our
children.
You may go to our website at:
auction.stmarypinckney.org to purchase tickets or make
donations. Please share the website with family and
friends.
@St. Mary Auction Event Page
We have unique opportunities for you to honor
or remember your loved ones.
Altar Flower Arrangements: Please call Country Lane Flowers at 517-546-1111 and speak with Libby to place your order. The approximate cost is $45 and up plus $9.95 delivery fee. You may take the flowers home with you after the 11:30am Sunday Mass.
Votive Candle Memorial: We are making available 7-day votive candles that will be lit in your loved one’s honor or for a special intention. The cost of this candle is $15.00.
END OF YEAR CONTRIBUTION STATEMENTS 2011 Please contact the parish office if you would like a
