As we look forward to the celebration of Christmas and decorating our churches, we are looking for donations to help cover the cost of the poinsettias that will be in each of the three church buildings during the Christmas season. You are encouraged to donate a poinsettia in memory of a deceased loved one. There is an order form in this months newsletter. Please return it to the parish office by December 3rd.

I would like to thank everyone who donated to our fundraiser for the new copy machine. It was an unexpected expense that was not part of our current budget. We have been able to raise the full amount that we needed and the new machine has been purchased and installed. Over the next month we will be redesigning worship aids and the bulletin. Stay tuned! Thank you to all that made this possible as it has eliminated a lot of stress in the office! -Father Lingle
