CHRISTMAS MEMORIAL FLOWER FUND
THANK YOU!!
This fund enables us to decorate the Church during the Christmas season. The donors and those to be remembered will be listed in the January 11, 2015 bulletin. The suggested donation is $10. An envelope for this purpose is in the pews, your monthly packet, or one of your own. Don’t forget to include on the envelope the name(s) of your loved one(s) to be remembered/honored.
To all those whose hard work and dedication ensured that our celebrations of the Lord’s Nativity were solemn and holy Masses. Our music, environment, and hospitality truly reflected the presence of the Lord.
