Parishioners are also highly encouraged to attend as well. We had a great turnout at the last meeting (nearly 50 people), and hope to continue that trend. Refreshments will be served. An overview of the results from the Parish Survey will be shared. If anyone would like to have an item added to the agenda, or if you have questions or recommendations, please call Brad Vacca 314-608-9302.

The forces of nature have not been kind to some of the other decorations (and gravestones) either, so please take some time to check out any extra care that your family’s gravesites might need.
