SACRAMENTAL AND PRAYER LIFE

When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" He answered and said, "Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?" Jesus said to him, "You have seen him and the one speaking with you is he." He said, "I do believe, Lord," and he worshiped him. - Jn 9:35-38

SPAGHETTI SUPPER SUCCESS!

Loretta & Bill want to thank so many people for helping to make this the most successful supper ever!  All those who helped make meatballs, salad and garlic bread, all who baked such wonderful desserts, all who helped serve the dinner and stayed through cleanup and especially all who came to enjoy our dinner which raised $1,060.

Dear Parishioners

Once again it’s time for our Easter Food Baskets for our needy families.  Anything that is non-perishable is necessary as are the donations of money.  Any amount is welcome, from the sweet widow who donates $3 right up to the big guy who donates $250.  The money pays for meat, milk, butter, bread, crackers and any food needed that is not donated.  For Christmas we paid a little over $1,000.00 to the Market Basket.  It seems like a lot but remember, we had over 51 families and we keep growing. 

          Peace to all.          Anna
