feeling that comes with making a difference.
Please remember in your prayers;
all men and women who are serving
in the military and their families,
all the homebound, all those in
medical care facilities and adult foster
care homes, those who are ill
and those with ongoing health issues,
and all those who care for them.
Please see the bulletin for individual
names within our parish family to
remember in prayer.
