Notes from the Parish Office

May the soul of Betty Malody and all departed souls, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen

Betty passed away last week after a long illness. Betty will be greatly missed as a long time parishioner, volunteer, wife, mother, grandmother and most importantly a good friend to all.

Her funeral will take place sometime after Christmas.  The family headed for a stay in Mexico at a place that Betty, and her beloved husband Bob, loved so much. They are taking some quiet time and comfort with each other. Our prayers are with them.
