BITS AND PIECES

Church Calendars for 2006 are on the table in the Parish Hall and on the shelf as you enter the church. They are provided free for us every year, thanks to TrinkaFaustini Funeral Service, Maywood. Please help yourselves!

Offering envelopes for 2006 are also available. If you have not yet received your envelopes, speak to Ronnie Pouch or Marie Quinn. If you take one of the boxes please be sure that Ronnie has a record of which number you have taken, so the envelopes can be properly tracked during the year.
