We thank those who donated money for Christmas flowers in memory/honor of:
After we received these donations, Bill and Shirley Furst notified the parish that they were paying the cost of all the flowers. Thank you Bill and Shirly! So, the $587 that was donated for Christmas will be used to cover expenses for flowers at the altar throughout the year.
IN GREAT APPRECIATION

We would also like to especially thank all those who generously donated their time and talent in assisting with decorating the parish campus for the Christmas season. The St. Christopher Knights of Columbus, council 12912, was an amazing help with the set-up and put away of the Nativity scene and Christmas lights. Ted and Donna Schorr coordinated the decoration of Aufderheide Hall in preparation for additional worship space for our Christmas Eve/Day Masses with the assistance of the St. Christopher Catholic Daughters of the Americas, court 2748. Additionally, we would like to thank the St. Christopher Catholic Daughters of the Americas for gifting and delivering fifty poinsettias to our homebound parishioners this Christmas and for assisting in the assembly of our Season of Hope care packages. So many lives were touched and enriched thanks to the combined efforts of our parish ministries and you, the parishioner! Together we were able to share the needed light of Christ’s love with so many throughout or community. Thank you so very much for making this Christmas one to remember!
SERVING CHRIST
Parish sophomores preparing for Confirmation got in their kitchens last weekend to make and donate lasagna casseroles to St. Vincent de Paul. In total, 28 lasagnas were donated which more than provides for one nights dinner at the shelter.
