It is time to think of those who need help with Christmas dinners. As in previous years, we are looking for help with donations. We have placed pink envelopes marked “Christmas Dinners For Needy Families” on the tables at all entrances. We encourage you to use one of these pink envelopes when you donate. If there are any questions, please call the parish office (653-6830). If possible, we would like to have all donations in by the end of November.
The monthly meeting of the Holy Redeemer CWL will be held in the parish hall on Monday, November 14, at 2 pm. All members are invited to attend.
