Several parishioners have requested to purchase a leaf on the TREE OF LIFE. Since the tree we have was recently completed, we installed a
second tree on the wall on the right side of the church. We invite you to participate in our Tree of Life by donating a leaf or foundation stone to be engraved with your special message of remembrance of a loved one, dedicated to a family, or congratulations for a special occasion. You may select up to twenty letters and spaces on each line and up to four lines. If you are interested in purchasing a leaf or stone or for information, please call the parish office.
