Retirement Fund for Religious
Sunday, February 7th
   Religious facing rising costs. Data submitted to the National Religious Retirement Office reveals that the average annual cost of care for women and men religious age 70 and over has more than doubled since 1989. Current statistics put this figure at $35,077 per person annually, with skilled care reaching nearly $55,000. Your donation to the Retirement Fund for Religious provides critical support to religious institutes in meeting the escalating costs of elder care. Please pray for all religious and give generously to today’s collection.

Circle of Friends
   We meet this Wednesday, February 10th, at 9:30 AM lower level Albert House to watch the movie “The Singing Revolution.” Join us and bring a brown bag lunch for lunch and discussion after the viewing!

Labyrinth Coming!
   We will have the traveling canvas labyrinth here at St. Albert’s for a few days as we begin Lent this year. The Labyrinth will be available in the upper level Parish Center on:
   Tuesday, February 16th 5:00-9:00 PM
   Wed/Thurs. Feb. 17 & 18th 7:30 AM—9:00 PM
   Friday, February 19th 7:30 AM—4:00 PM
   A labyrinth is literally a pathway to prayer, offering participants an opportunity to use an ancient form of meditative prayer as a different method to connect with God. This labyrinth is modeled on the labyrinth in the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France, which dates back to about the year 1200 AD. Information and ideas for using the labyrinth for prayer will be available. In addition to the opportunity to walk the labyrinth, we will need adults who are willing to “supervise” the labyrinth for an hour or two when it is “open” - some late afternoons or evenings. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Paula 837-3798 ext.23. Thank you.
