New Opportunity - You may have noticed the large
black cans located at the foot of the ramp from the lower parking lot and by the parking sign at the upper parking lot. These cans, and one placed in the Parish Center, may look like "garbage" cans, but they are not! They are placed at these three locations so that all of us can contrib-ute to care for our common home by recycling aluminum cans. We will also be helping Saint Bruno Church finan-cially. Bring your empty aluminum cans to church on Saturday or Sunday each week. Deposit them in one of the large black cans. Your Laudato Si! Team will cash them in and contribute the proceeds to the parish. Take care of the creation God so graciously gave us!

Dr. Niemiec will present the facts of opioid abuse, followed by discussion and questions. Monsignor Gaston will then lead us in a prayer service. The evening will conclude with a light reception.

contact the Parish Office for more information. Thank you!
Epiphany Appreciation Party The Annual Saint Bruno Epiphany Party will be held on Saturday, January 6, 2018 after the 5:00 p.m. Mass. All those who volunteer in any capacity for the Church (Festival, Fish Fry, Choir, Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, Lector, Server, Usher, etc.) are invit-ed to attend.
