Ladies Guild Communion Breakfast
Twenty-five Guild members attended our annual Communion Breakfast held on May 15.
We attended the 9:30AM Mass and then proceeded to the Manor Inn where we enjoyed breakfast and held a Baby Shower for
Carolyn’s Place.
The Guild members were extremely generous in providing a wide assortment of baby items including clothing,
diapers, wipes, etc. We are so very grateful to our Guild members who always come through to help those in need!
