NO MARRIAGE BANNS
A SPECIAL THANK YOU!
THANK YOU, seems so little to say to a parish family that is so generous and giving. We are all living in this sad economy, yet you gave so generously to the parish Giving Tree. You will never know the joy that was brought to so many of our less fortunate families at Christmas. Please know how good it is to know that we always have such a giving and caring parish to help us when ever we ask.
