DEAR CHURCH FAMILY,

Thank you for the wonderful donations of food, money and especially for the physical assistance that so many of you gave.  I was overwhelmed!  I want to thank the Hannaford Market for the vast amounts of donated food and Market Basket for their prompt deliveries.  However great you were, we still had to be bailed out financially by the Loaves and Fishes Committee by $375.00.  We served 56 families made up of 111 adults and 109 children.  The children’s bunny candy bags were adorable.  Thank you to Dick and Jayne Leary for making cookies for each basket - surely a labor of love.  Thanks to all, Anna Green.

WOMEN’S SOCIETY CITIZENSHIP AWARD

This $1,000 Award is given to one or more graduating High School Seniors who are going on to higher education and who have shown involvement in the parish.  If interested, please fill out the form (available in the church office and at high school guidance offices) and return it by April 30.  Call Carrie Richters with questions at 526-7795.
