|
| Feb 17, 2013 | Thanks for the great turn out and terrific
performance on Mardis Gras. The Knights estimate they served about 400 people and raised $3,300 for this summer's work camp!

200 people attend and collected over $500 in food donations. Thank you all for your patience and talent on Christmas Eve.
I put some pictures on the Photo Album page. And I thank you
all for your generous gift card. I hope you each got an ornament and a CD. If you didn't, be sure to get one this Sunday.
Did you see that the ornament was playable too? Ho, ho, ho! |

the church. The 11:30 mass went on but it was only 20 minutes long. If power isn't restored by 5:00, we'll still have mass
but will probably only sing one or two songs at most. |
