! ! Last week, I men oned that some people had
made inquiries about dona ng to the Church to cover the
cost of tangible items. (Not part of the Bicentennial.) One
thing that I would like to replace are our Altar Server robes.
At present, they have been purchased in the past at differ-
ent mes and from different companies and they don’t
really match. Some are beyond repair. If you might be
interested in dona ng one, they cost approximately $50.
Just put your dona on in an envelope marked “Altar Server
Robes”.!!! ! We are s ll short of our HOPE APPEAL goal. If you
have not yet made your gi5 to this annual appeal, we
would be most grateful if you did.!!! ! We awarded our Senior Scholarships to Mikayla
Ward, George Picente, Jr. and Nicholas Lemire. Congratula-
ons to them and all the graduates as they move on to oth-
er academic realms.!!! ! Have a great week.!!! ! ! ! ! God Bless You,!! ! ! ! ! Father Buehler!
