Dear Parishioners and friends,
Thanks to all who made the Flea Market a success. The rain was a factor, but it did not dampen the spirits of most. Altar and Rosary Society will raffle off the baskets after the 12:30 PM Mass today. Winners of the money raffle are on page two of this bulletin.
Our International Festival is in October. Please let us know if you will be donating prepared ethnic food … and it would be great to have a European folkloric presentation. Any thoughts?
Registration for Religious Education programs continues. Please see Sister Charlotte.
We are updating our records. If you have moved, have a new phone number or email address, please let our office know. Thanks.
