ADOPT A FAMILY—BE AN ANGEL
Grandparents are helping their families in need. I feel we should give them a boost. (especially those trying to get families to church). Many of our older, faithful parishioners could use a boost. If you care to help- Money or Gift cards will be used in your name. Just mark Adopt A Family and they will get to Sr. Monica. During this coming Advent season, let us all reflect on God’s goodness to us. Sr. Monica
