Please come down to the OLF Hall and do your last minute shopping on Saturday, 12/12 & Sunday 12/13 after masses. We will have great crafts & beautiful plants and also the Doll House Raffle Winner will be drawn.
THE GIVING TREE
A reminder: If you took a tag from the tree, after you wrap the present, you must put the tag on the top of the wrapping so it gets to the right family.
MOST IMPORTANTLY is that these presents must be returned by Friday, December 11th to either OLF or IC. DO NOT bring them to mass that weekend; it’s too late then.
If you have a problem getting the gifts to either church give Diana Ginter a call at 526-7606
