St. Benedict If you are attending Annunciation and are not registered with the Parish as a member, we have no idea if you are a participating Catholic or not, so please register and if you can not afford to give monetarily please put a prayer card in the offertory so that we know you are attending. Also for all of you who pay by cash we really appreciate it but if you would put it in an envelope we could track that you are attending as well. It is important when it comes to all the Sacraments. We can not say you are active if we do not know. Thank you

My heart is pumping as much as 6 gallons a day at a rate about double my mom s. I can swim and kick and do somersaults! I m the same size as my placenta now.
