Anniversary Celebration!
We need everyone to sign up for the 75th Anniversary Celebration on April 28 at 3:30 PM. The CATERER needs to know how many are coming. Several "noted" celebrities plan to attend so you are needed. You are all celebrities as well! If you have any special problems regarding attending, please see/call Deacon Dan or Sally.
75th Anniversary Celebration on April 28 will have activities for kids. One is to bring a painted rock to form a rock garden. Each child should bring one rock with whatever they wish to paint on it (crosses, St. Joseph, items from Creation, etc.) and sign their rock for the 100th celebration.
