Serving Others

The past few weeks have seen our parish members serving others. They will know we are Christians by our love for one another. Thank you\ to these volunteers.

As a follow up to the previous service provided by the Missionary Franciscans of the Sacred Heart a few weeks earlier, on October 11 – Martin, Judy, Vito, and Mem helped cut and stack firewood at Kent and MaryAnn’s as his foot continue to heal.

October 18 – Robert, Mem, and Joan helped Judy who is in the middle of moving. We will be scheduling some other days this Sunday or next weekend.
