Home with the Lord - St. Mary & St. Ursula
Remember Lord and welcome into your Kingdom those who have died and have gone before us marked in the sign of faith, especially Joseph J. Cadonic, Kenneth F. Cotter, Frances K. Blackstone and Dolores M. Bittner. Please remember to pray for the consolation of their loved ones.
Every parishioner is given an opportunity to help in the purchasing of the wide variety of flowers and other decorations that beautify our church during this season and throughout the year. Thus, you will notice that a “Christmas Flower” envelope has been included in the packet of envelopes that we received this month. We ask those who wish to use this envelope to do so as quickly as possible since a listing of the names commemorated must be created which, of course, takes time to print with the very special work done by those involved in the process. Please have your envelope returned to the St. Mary Rectory no later than Sunday, December 22, to be included on our list.
