Please prayerfully consider helping provide a simple floral arrangement for the Sisters' Chapel. The flowers can be brought to school and placed in a bucket/vase available at the front office for the Sisters to take home and place them in their Chapel. Two matching bouquets of flowers would be ideal, and they do not need vases. The flowers can be brought to school on Wednesdays to the front office. If you forget, please feel free to bring the following day (Thursday). If you have any questions, please contact Janice Drake at janicedrake6@yahoo.com or 816-868-3332. Thanks so much! We know the Sisters are excited for the flowers to beautify the altar of the Lord!
