Pastoral Messages from Fr. Rick – March 25, 2021

All Parishioners:  Saturday, April 17th, is the Church’s Annual Cleanup Day.  meet at 10:00 a.m.  Bring your work clothes, gloves and a hat and a mask, in case you are working in a group.   A list of jobs is printed on the chalkboard in the Social Hall in case you want to work alone in advance of April 17th.  There will be another list posted in front of the church that day. Watch for details in future bulletins.  For more info contact Mike Bzdewka, MaryBeth Pashia, or Noel Poe. 

Knights of the Roundtable:     There is a Knights’ meeting this coming Sunday, 28th, right after Mass.  If the weather is good, we’ll meet in the parking lot.  If not good weather, we’ll meet in the Social Hall.  We have a short agenda so the meeting won’t last too long.   Any men from the Parish interested in learning what Knights of the Roundtable do are welcome to participate.
