Parish Newsletter



As our bulletin has been temporarily suspended, Debbie has been printing a one-page newsletter for the last two weeks.  If you are by the parish, you can pick one up.  (Box located by the main door, upper level at St. Peter, and on the front porch of the parish office (house) at St. Mary's.)

They will also be emailed to you soon and I am posting them here as well.




They include the list of Mass intentions.

Andrew Reckers (helping him put on his
