BIRTHRIGHT SHOWER: Our parish will be having a shower for Birthright during the Advent Season. Birthright is in need of new and used baby items. We especially can use diapers and baby clothing. We will have a crib on display by the altar for you to place your gifts. This is just a good way for our parish to reach out and help the less fortunate. Let's continue praying for Birthright volunteers and mothers. If you have any questions, you can call Kathy Hayes at 395-4805.

Holiday Memorials are a great way to remember those who have died. If you would like to contribute to the Christmas decorations, you may make a donation in the memory of a loved one and his or her name will appear in the holiday bulletin. A suggested offering would be fifteen dollars. You may drop your donation in the mail, the collection, or drop it by the office.

If your family would like to donate toward a Christmas gift for Father Dave and Deacon Jim, please put in an envelope marked Christmas gift and drop in the collection basket.  Thank you, Parish Council
