Did You Know There Are Poor Boxes located at all the church entrances. Donations collected are used to provide financial assistance, purchase food certificates, etc. to our ever growing list of parishioners needing our assistance. We are not asking for much, maybe a dollar a week or some loose change. If more of our parishioners do this, we would be able to help out more of our needy parishioners. Times are rough for many of us.
Pray the Rosary..."for it is a treasure to be rediscovered."
