Vulcan Commercial Stove For a variety of reasons, not the least of which is safety due to the output of CO2 in our confined space, the commercial stove in the hall needs to be replaced. The cost for a new, 10-burner commercial gas stove is approximately $7,000. In order for us to make this purchase, donations are being solicited. If anyone would like to make a donation toward this purchase, please contact Fr. Paul. Additionally, the Vulcan commercial stove we are currently using will be available for purchase. If you or someone you know may be interested in making an offer, please contact Fr. Paul.
From The Pastor Spring is the season during which parents typically begin to think about registering their child/ ren for school in the fall. Please remember that if your child/ren attend(s) a Catholic school which assesses a surcharge for non-parishioners, and you are an active, registered member of Mary, Mother of Jesus Parish, we will pay that assessment for you. This is one way to assist everyone in being able to register in the parish of their spiritual choice rather than financial need. Please feel free to contact me.
Fall Garage Sale Our parish is planning ahead for a garage sale in the fall. As you continue to clean and organize your homes, please save any garage sale worthy items you may have lying around your house or garage etc. All donations for our sale are appreciated. If you have any questions, please call Priscilla Gadel at (318) 446-5502.
