Here are the highlights:

- The Angel Tree is up! It brings me great joy to say that all the tags have been claimed! The reason for the season is alive in this parish! Please return gifts by Sunday, December 10th, wrapped, with tag attached. Angels come to us from Social Services.
- Girl Child Mission tags are gone as well! Purchasing any of these items will help very young mothers in Uganda provide care for their babies (see pg. 4 for more information on how you can help). Return these items unwrapped to the baskets beside the tree by Dec. 10th.
- Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Store has opened and can be found in the former LOUNGE. Stop by before or after Mass on the weekends. You can contact the store via email at [email protected].

- If you have recently changed your email address or phone number, please send a note to the office so we can update the system and make sure you don’t miss out on any information we have to share with you.
- Due to low viewership and equipment issues we will no longer be live-streaming the Mass.
