The Joy of Giving
Somehow not only for Christmas, but all the long year through, the joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you:  And the more you spend in blessing the poor and lonely and sad, the more of your heart's possessign returns to make you glad.​

POINSETTIA MEMORIALS
The Altar & Rosary will be taking donations in memory of your loved ones.  These donations will be used to buy the poinsettia plants that will decorate our church this Christmas.  

Memorials are $5 and can be put in the collection basket or dropped off at the Parish office until December 13th.  Please make sure to give 1.  The name of your loved one and 2.  Your name

Altar and Rosary Cookbooks are in!!
Thanks for making the 100th Anniversary Altar & Rosary Cookbook such a hot item!  We've had so many requests that we are placing another order for more.  If you are interested in purchasing our cookbook, please fill out the form found in the bulletin and you will be placed on our list for when the books come in.  They are still $10 each.
