Contribution Statements for 2017 – contribution statements will be automatically sent to all individuals and families who donated $250.00 or more in total for 2017. Statements will be mailed by the end of January. If your contribution totals less than $250 and you would still like a statement, please contact the Parish Office and we will be more than happy to mail or email your statement. We set the limit at $250 merely to cut down on postage costs. Please let us know if you do not receive your statement, if you find any inaccuracies, or if you need a replacement copy.

National Collection This Weekend
The collection for the Church Missions within the United States is this weekend. Please put your envelope in the regular collection basket. Thank you.

The Annual Baby Bottle Boomerang – Please return your bottles the first weekend in February.

A Tidy Church – please help us keep our parish church neat and tidy. Hymnals and books fit into the racks on the backs of the pews: each small rack holds one blue covered hymnal/missalette, a prayer book and a laminated card about receiving Holy Communion. The long plastic rack holds three blue covered books. This means nothing is left on the pews and everything is kept in order throughout the week. We appreciate any help you can give us in keeping God’s house in order.
