Marriage Register as soon as possible. Please contact the priest at least six(6) months prior to the wedding. The date is tentative until the preparation program is complete. Advent & Lent are Penitential Seasons; couples are encouraged to plan their wedding outside these seasons.

We need a chest freezer for the Parish Hall Do you or someone you know have a chest freezer that you/they would donate to our Parish? Food items for Spring Festival are usually stored in one of the school's freezers, however, they are "down" one freezer so storage space is at a premium. Contact Merle Tant 666-4066 or 861-3200.
Spring Festival Confetti Eggs How to: Gently tap the end of the egg on your kitchen counter. Once cracked, peel back the shell to make an opening about the size of a quarter. Once you have poured the yolk and egg white into your favorite recipe, thoroughly rinse out the eggshell. Let it dry upside down in the egg carton. Leave your carton of shells in the Cry Room.
