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 toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, paper plates, tissues, dishwashing detergent, brillo pads, hand soap, coffee cups, stirrers, sugar, pepper, salt, coffee, 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. Canned Food Drive The members of our Jr ACRY are conducting a canned food & dry goods drive for a local food pantry. Every time you come to church, please bring something with you for those who are less fortunate & in need. It will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
