2018 - 2019 MASS SCHEDULE

Mass intentions have been coming in SLOWLY. The new schedule will be printed next Sunday but looks to be mostly BLANK. Many parishioners have many intentions, but it seems everyone has waited until the last minute - which will cause more work in printing a revised schedule. Those with intentions "in the bank" will be scheduled au-tomatically. Please don't wait any longer!!!

FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT! MARZEC � 18 � MARCH, 2018!

!!

Memorial Remembrances!!

One of the important matters which everyone must con-sider at some time or another is the final disposition of their earthly possessions. Usually, this includes remem-bering those things most dear to us during our lifetime. Our parish of St. Casimir is such an entity. We are grateful to those families who requested in obituaries that donations be made in memory of their loved ones to our Church. We encourage others to consider doing the same and also to remember us in your estate plan-ning and will. Your love, help, and concern can ensure the long lasting, vibrant future of St. Casimir’s.!
