Peace Lilies: The Altar Society asks that only scheduled members water the plants on the Altar and surrounding areas. Last Saturday when Altar Society members came to tend to the plants someone had already watered them to overfilling. Water had pooled on the marble leaving quite a mess. Not only does this cause extra work, but it also has the potential to kill the plants and stain the marble. Thank you for your cooperation!
Flower Patron Saints: Flowers were donated to the Blessed Mother for Our Lady of the Rosary Procession by Maritess Bernardo, Myrant Ermitano, and Lot Cunanan. Flowers were also donated for the personal intentions of Angela Punsalan in the Marian Chapel. Thank you for your generosity!
