STEWARDSHIP 2004

Our 150th Anniversary campaign is well underway. Most of you have generously increased the amount of you pledges, but we are still short of our goal and slightly behind 2003.

If you have not yet made your financial commitment for next year and wish to do so, please contact any member of the Stewardship committee: Pam Brown, Fred Bohan, Tim Boos, Maureen Crow, or Michael Rebic

The readings and the music were entertaining, nostalgic, and beautifully done. The concept and direction were superb. The food was delicious. Truly a pouring out of time, talent and treasure. Parishioners, guests, and neighbors filled the church, and applause rang from the rafters. Thank you all for your beautiful and generous gift to the parish and the community.
