We thank everyone whose memorial donations of wreaths, trees, and poinsettia plants and whose giving to the Christmas flower collection helped us to decorate the church so beautifully for Christmas. On New Year’s Day, the 10AM Mass will be offered for the intentions of the Christmas memorials and business Christmas tree sponsors; the 12:05PM will be offered for the intention of the Christmas flower fund donors. — Father Passenant
Wishing you every blessing of Christmas 2024!
