THANK YOU
We wish to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to Father Dohey, the
Mercy Associates and to all the people for their many kindnesses to us over
the past three years. We considered it a privilege to be able to work with
you.
We want to say a special thank you to you, as our Parish Family, for the
beautiful book case you gave us for our new residence. Also, thank you to
the Mercy Associates for the beautiful wall pictures. We are deeply
grateful.
You will all be missed but you will be in our hearts and prayers.

hot dogs, hamburgers and pop for all who gather. At this time, I invite

the kids and toiletries of any kind. For example; we need exercises, pens,
pencils, crayons, coloring books, erasers, and all other supplies for
school. Also, you may wish to contribute tooth paste, tooth brushes, soap,
shampoo, etc. Please drop off your donation during the coming weeks at
