and voting on changes to our
By-Laws, including an increase in our yearly
dues. Our annual fee, $12.00,
has not changed since our council was
established 50 years ago.

before and after Masses. This is
our Blitz weekend. We will be
distributing "Roses for Life"
to all parishioners as they enter church.
There will be baskets for
donations to help defer the cost but donations
are not required form the
parishioners.
The
following weekend is the Church Bazaar held in the gym. We will be
selling our fund raisers in the gym
that weekend. Saturday and Sunday
hours are from

this time. Many hands make quick work.
