You came to Jerusalem with love, and gave your life for us; help me follow you.
Viniste a Jerusalén con amor y diste tu vida por nosotros; ayúdame a seguirte. Amén.
New Ministry within Family Faith Formation this year: Greetings and Gifts for college-aged youth!
Many experienced joy, support, and caring on both the giving and receiving ends of the work of this group. Thanks to Andria Barkley, and Ava and Bella (below), and our new Teen Council, in assembling St. Patrick and Easter mailings for our college youth. If you would like to place your (undergraduate –aged) youth on our mailing list, contact Ann Valley. Sheila Stumph, Kathleen McCrudden, and Fay Antalek can receive names at each parish as well.
Additional thanks—Sidewalk Warriors! Sue M., Cathy B., Joan P., Nancy P. were invaluable and efficient in preparing lunches!
