Flowers In Memory
If you wish to make a monetary donation to help purchase flowers in
memorial of your loved ones for the Christmas season, please do so during
the coming weeks. Your offering will be recorded and the mass intentions
for your loved ones will be remembered during the Christmas masses. Please
place your offering in an envelope with the name of your loved one and we
will purchase the flowers. Thank you for your kindness.
Knights of Columbus
The executive meeting for the Knights of Columbus will take place on
Thursday, December 11th at 8:00 p.m. and the general meeting will be held
on Friday , December 12th at 8:00 p.m. All members are asked to attend .
In Lieu of Flowers
One of the many ways we offer comfort to families in times of grief when
they experience the death of their loved ones is through our giving of
Flowers. It is a sign of our compassion and respect. The unfortunate
problem with flowers is that they are brought to the church and they only
last for a few days before they are thrown away. As you know these flowers
cost a major amount and their value last only a few days.
Once again, it is recommended that in lieu of flowers that you consider
donating to a charity of your choice so that the money may be used in a
more wisely manner. As a parish, we seek your support, and in lieu of
flowers, you may make a monetary donation to our parish to help with the
purchase of new hymn books for our choir or a donation towards the
maintenance of our cemetery.
If you wish to donate in lieu of flowers, please consider your parish.
The financial costs to operate our are rising considerably and why not
donate to a more lasting need rather than flowers. We ask for your support
. If you wish to donate in lieu of flowers, please place your offering in
an envelope with the intention of the deceased and we will notify the
family of your donation . Thank you for your consideration.
Parish Secretary
The office schedule is a little more busier as we approach the Christmas
season and as we end the year. The parish files are to be completed for
the end of the year as well as the financial records are to be completed
and a financial statement to be prepared for the parishioners.
Therefore , the secretary will be in the office at the following times:
Monday 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 House Cleaning
Tuesday - Thursday - 10:00 - 3:00 Office
These hours will be reviewed after Christmas. It is not our intention to
have a full time secretary but due to a greater demand for Christmas, we
have increased her hours of employment.
