 SJR Day of Service

Do you know of any agencies, charities, or communities that might need some help in November?

Beginning next weekend, sign-up sheets will be available in the Narthex after every Mass for you to let the Picnic Committee know how many are coming, and also if you will be bringing food to pass. As in the past, we are asking families whose last name begins with the letters A thru M to bring a salad, and those whose last name begins with the letters N thru Z to bring a dessert. Thanks for your support. We look forward to a great day. Hope we have good weather.
