Blessing of the Seersucker!
On Sunday, June 10th, Saint Miriam will honor its First Annual Blessing of the Seersucker as a fun and beautiful way to kick off the official summer season!
Seersucker is a thin, puckered, all-cotton fabric, commonly striped, used to make clothing for summer wear. The word came into English from Hindustani, which originates from the Persian words "shir o shekar", meaning "milk and sugar", probably from the resemblance of its smooth and rough stripes to the smooth texture of milk and the bumpy texture of sugar!
Seersucker is woven in such a way that some threads bunch together, giving the fabric a wrinkled appearance in places. This feature causes the fabric to be mostly held away from the skin when worn, facilitating heat dissipation and air circulation. It also means that pressing is not necessary! How fun for a laid back summer!
We will use our fabric, sewn by Midge Olson, to add a bit of whimsy to our Altar frontal, and our stiles worn by our ministry team! A light fare will follow in the garden, weather permitting or in the Fellowship Hall.
Bring your family and friends for this fun event!

CYO Helps the SPCA!
The Saint Miriam CYO is collecting canned pet food and gently used blankets and towels for the Montgomery County SPCA. A donation box will be in the fellowship hall through April 29th. The SPCA takes in all unwanted animals from hamsters to horses and they are greatly in need of supplies especially during these chilly spring nights. Please bring your donation to the parish before or after any mass, or during office hours.

How do Thursday Liturgies
work?
Our Thursday liturgies are a time to take a short break from the busyness of life. They occur every Thursday in the Main Sanctuary. They last approximately 30 minutes and then, if you desire, you may join us for dinner at a local eatery or stay and ask more questions! It is an informal time to relax, enjoy one another, and share in the life of the parish both inside outside of the church walls. Join us!
