A letter from your PPC about Amazon Smile
Hello Community of Saint Alphonsus Liguori!
“Fear not, I am with you; be not dismayed; I am your God. I will strengthen you, and help you, and uphold you with my right hand of justice.” Isaiah 41:10
This year has started out difficult for many people. We battle constant worry of health, safety and our well being. We stay strong with our faith and the vision for one day things returning to normal. While we stay at home, many parishioners are looking to the internet to get many of their needs met, whether it is attending mass via live stream, connecting with family, or even getting products delivered to their house. By continuing to do those things, you can support St. Alphonsus Ligurori Parish & School!
The Parish Pastoral Council would like to take this time to talk more about Amazon Smile. As many of you know, Amazon Smile is a simple way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop at Amazon, at no extra cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added benefit that Amazon will donate 0.5% of your eligible purchases to the charitable organization of your choice. You can choose from over one million organizations to support. We hope that you would consider listing St. Alphonsus Liguori Parish & School!
To help you set up Amazon Smile, below are the steps for Android devices and for Apple/web browsers.
Thank you.
Please join us in saying a quick prayer for Peace
“Lord, we pray for the power to be gentle; the strength to be forgiving; the patience to be understanding; and the endurance to accept the consequences of holding to what we believe to be right.
May we put our trust in the power of good to overcome evil and the power of love to overcome hatred.
We pray for the vision to see and the faith to believe in a world emancipated from violence, a new world where fear shall no longer lead men to commit injustice, nor selfishness make them bring suffering to others.
Help us to devote our whole life and thought and energy to the task of making peace, praying always for the inspiration and the power to fulfill the destiny for which we and all men were created.”
