We are also asking for donations for the weekly flower arrangements on the Back and Front Altars. Fresh flowers bring such beauty to the Mass. A box can be found at the entrance of the church. Any donation, however big or small, will be appreciated. 

Catholic Daughters are creating a cookbook and are asking parishioners for their help. If you have a favorite recipe or a treasured recipe from a loved one, please drop it in the box at the entrance of the church. It can be handwritten, typed or just a copy. If you prefer to email your recipe, you can do so at jandckruse@gmail.com. Please ensure that you include your name so we know who to give the credit to for the amazing recipe. We can’t wait to see how many different recipes we will get. Thank you everyone.
