Thank you! What a wonderful week of celebrations we have had here at the parish! So many people came together to offer so generously their time and immense talents to make our Triduum and Easter festivities possible, it would take a book to thank everyone for their contributions. The witness of the family of faith was abundantly evident here this week. Thank you for all you did to proclaim the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord! Thank you to Restoration Donors: Thank you to Betty Ashley for donating in memory of Lydia Connor. Thank you to Joyce Maybury and Mr. & Mrs. Lorenzo Sordoni for donating in memory of Gloria Maybury.
