It s hard to believe that Holy Week has come and gone! The liturgies were so wonderful and many people need to be thanked. Thank you to those who decorated and helped transform the church to its Easter beauty; also the Eucharistic Ministers, lectors, altar servers, Master of Ceremonies and music ministries, all did a fantastic job. This Easter was truly a wonderful experience for all who attended the liturgies because of everyone who volunteered their time and effort. Our sincerest thanks also goes to the wonderful generosity of everyone who contributed to the Easter offering. God Bless! Msgr. Quinn & Fr. David Many Thanks! The Sisters of Holy Cross and the Sr. Claire Daneau Legacy Fund Committee thank you for your generous support during their recent fundraiser for the education of the children of Mary Gate of Heaven Orphanage in Haiti.
