THANK YOU: Our thanks and appreciation to all those individuals who helped make our Christmas Masses so meaningful: our Confirmation class, as well as those who stayed to help decorate our church, our musicians and choir, lectors, altar servers, ushers, and Eucharistic Ministers, to those parishioners who purchased poinsettias in honor and in memory of their loved ones. Please see the flyer for a complete listing of flower donations.
SPECIAL ORNAMENTS: This year, our special tree at the front of the church again commemorates those parishioners who, during the past year, have entered eternal life through death and also those who have received God’s life through baptism. Evan Timmons was our only Baptism this year. Three ornaments were placed in memory of: Paul Grmela, George Nesrsta, and Edwin Gerik.
