The suggested donation is $20 per arrangement, which offsets the cost of the flowers provided by Leary's Florist. If you wish to sponsor the flowers, please submit your name and preferred wording of the dedication to
[email protected] or in a note placed in the offering plate.

Your gift to the Gift of Angels program can be in the form of a monetary donation or a gift-in-kind and can be made in thanksgiving or in memory of someone. It can cover all or part of an item on the wish list. All gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You will receive recognition of your gift, and all gifts are recorded in our Book of Memorials and Gifts.
The Wish List currently includes: weed control supplies, new chairs for the Parish Hall, and landscaping upgrades around the building and in the field adjoining the upper parking lot.
