Beautiful Blooms in Church

Donating to the flower fund

Have you noticed that the flowers in the sanctuary are looking especially beautiful?  Rosita's Flowers in San Diego has been designing our lovely arrangements for Sunday services and special occasions for many years.

Last year we requested that the arrangements be "amped-up" a bit and we've been pleased with the results. As you might imagine, this change was also accompanied by an  increased cost. To keep our flower fund in the black.  The weekly price will be raised to

$90 per week (up from $86) beginning March 1.

If you have a  specific date in 2019 that you wish to reserve, to remember loved ones or celebrate a life event, you can  contact the parish office or simply complete the

online flower request form here.
