Roof Fund
The winter months have taken a toll on both the roof of the church & the parish
hall. There is pretty severe damage that needs to be repaired immediately, so as not
to have more damage occur. The work has been completed in the amount of
$11,325.00. Donations will be graciously accepted for this work that was done. See
one of the people in the parish office. Thank you for your anticipated support in this
project for your parish church. God bless you.

Donations Greatly Appreciated
Liturgical Items
Church Maintenance In order to save money on expenses, parishioners are asked to donate household items that are regularly used in the church & hall, such as coffee (decaf), wax paper, toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, paper plates, tissues, dishwashing detergent, brillo pads, hand soap, coffee cups, stirrers, sugar, pepper, salt, bleach, furniture polish, dust cloths, dish towels, etc. Just think what you use around your home is also used at the church. See Betty Reimann with any questions you may have. An increase in your stewardship would also be appreciated since our maintenance, candles, snowplowing, heat & electric costs have also increased.
