Our Christmas Wish ~ Our wish for you as well as for us is that this child, who reconciled heaven and earth, will also bind us together in his love. May you all have a very blessed and joyful Christmas!
An Invitation ~ Attention Readers, Eucharist Ministers, Choir Members, Ushers, Saturday Sacristans, Collection Counters, Bereavement Committee, Food Pantry Helpers, Catechists, Coordinators for Family Promise and the Prison Project: Father Reger asks that you reserve a little time after Masses on the weekend of January 4-5 to meet him in the rectory.
Thanks to our 20 volunteers who worked together Wednesday evening, we were able to complete our first phase of decorating for Christmas. We appreciate everything you did to make the project move along so famously!
