Many Thanks to the Volunteers for the Christmas Liturgies.  Our Christmas Mass Celebrations were wonderful again – a special thank you to Ellen and Cantors, to Cathy Stevenson for coordinating the Christmas Eve Youth Mass; to the Tom Urbanek and Adolph Trussoni families for helping decorate the Church so beautifully; to Don and Mary Feldner for ordering and picking up the Poinsettia Flower plants, and, relatedly, to all the Donors - These Donors and Memorials are listed as an attachment to the Bulletin. Also, thanks to Dennis Berra and Steve Woodhouse for their perseverance and endurance –  the early winter snow and wind has made the church and rectory grounds difficult to keep open and safe, but they have done so.  Let us pray that the worst of winter is over.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to a Wonderful Parish and Community:  A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each of you for your love for the Lord, and His blessings be upon your families and friends.  Thank you for the many Christmas Cards/gifts – they are heart-warming, and food for the soul.  Fr Roy.
