DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER 

God our Father,

open our eyes to the wonder of all your creation

– from the beauty of all that is close to us,

to the fascination of far-away places on our own planet and far beyond.

Heighten our awareness,

deepen our understanding,

and extend our horizons

that we may have respect for all that is around us

and discover your kingdom deep within us.

Amen

UPSTAGE PRODUCTIONS' "BLITHE SPIRIT"
St Mary High School would like to invite the community to Upstage Productions' two-act play, "Blithe Spirit”. The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this much-revived classic offers up fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira who is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” one Madame Arcati. Show times at the St. Mary High School Lecture Theatre are Wednesday, November 29th - Saturday, December 2nd at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $10 for Adults and $5 for Students and are available at the main office or at the theatre before the performance.

Donations will be accepted at any Catholic Church in Prince Albert, or at St. Mary High School (Mr. Corcoran in Room 227), until the middle of November.  Cash donations will be accepted to purchase outerwear for children.
