If the Lord took you elsewhere for Christmas Mass, please pick up your Christmas gift from the parish in the narthex of the church. It is a book called: “The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity” by Matthew Kelly. We also have 2019 Religious Calendars available, please help yourself.
A big “Thank you” to all those who helped decorate the churches for Christmas and those who purchased poinsettias for our poinsettia memorial garden. The memorial names are listed on the red flyers located in the narthex. Please take a copy.
Once again we will decorate our sanctuaries for Christmas with a poinsettia memorial garden.
