Announcements for Week Ending January 13th, 2008

A Message from Father Smith:

Dear Friends,
Happy Epiphany! I wish I could be with you today, but I’m in Nogales distributing shoeboxes to children there. I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to Priest Angela for her service to our Church and Day School. We will all miss her and will not forget her ministry among us.
May God continue to bless and use her for the building up of the people of God!
Peace, John †
