The flowers adorning the sanctuary today are given to the glory of God and in memory of John and Mary Seery from their daughter and family. For information on donating flowers to adorn the sanctuary, please contact Nancy O’Brien at 476-2191 or the Rectory at 488-0948.

Have you figured out yet which saint is displayed on the banner that was placed in the sanctuary a few weeks ago? This is St. Paul, in recognition of the Year of St. Paul, and was done by the Time and Talent Stewardship Committee. As the year goes on, we hope to have another banner on display. If you would like to make a donation towards this or future banners please contact Julie Heftie at 435-5182.

For you trivia buffs….stayed tuned for St. Paul trivia beginning next week.
