Make your everyday purchases at Safeway and Alberson's add up to $$$ for St. Michael's!
Safeway: Join the "eScrip" program that will contribute up to 8% of your Safeway purchase costs. Log on to www.escrip.com, enter St. Michael's Group ID #9607798, and register. If you don't have online access and want to sign up, please call or stop by the church office, and we will do it for you. Your Safeway club card will then activate funds to St. Michael's whenever it is scanned at the check out.
Albertson's: St. Michael's has additional Albertson's Community Partners cards, in the church office. Here is how this works: present your Community Partners card to your cashier each time you shop at Albertson's, and remind your cashier to scan your card any time during your order.
These are excellent ways to help bring funds to St. Michael's Church!

All of Father Smith's Camino photos have now been uploaded
to the church web site at http://smaa.mavarin.com/Camino. However, Karen needs a little more time to finish making and uploading a few hundred thumbnail versions of the photos, and to create another 20 web pages to display the photos with Father Smith's captions. The third batch should be posted in the next day or two.

The Virtual Pilgrimage Continues!

Part Two of Father Smith's Camino photos is now available on smaa.mavarin.com. Together, Parts One and Two represent 80 of the 245 pictures he took on his pilgrimage. I hope to have at least one more set posted in the next several days. I'm sorry this is taking so long, but it's time-intensive for me to set these up!
