Did You Know?
We have a bunch of comments about our
new Parish App. Here are three.
Ann says, “Tell Christie Bourg that she
did a very good job in explaining the new app. I
look forward to using it.”
“I’ll pass on your praise to Christie. She did do a very
nice job. Enjoy the App.”
Clarence writes, “I have never used an App before but I
plan to use this one. I am especially interested in the
prayers. I need help in remembering when to pray and I
will figure out how to get one of those alerts telling me it
is time to pray.”
“Good. I hope many follow your example.”
Tricia writes, “Wow! It sounds like our App puts us in
the 21 st century. I am impressed.”
“The App is a wonderful tool. I hope all of our
parishioners use it.”
Pat says, “I really like your homilies on line, Father Mike.
I watch them regularly. Can we put Father Francis’s
homilies on line also?”
“We certainly can. Both of our weekend homilies will
be placed on line and on our App.”
We got one vote this past weekend on changing the 5
pm Vigil Mass to 4 pm. Sheila votes “yes”.
“Please let me know your thoughts. I’d like to hear
from both sides of the issue.”

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

A Brigham Young University survey says 42.6 million
Americans suffer from chronic loneliness. Please pray for
them.

Christmas Flower Memorials
Envelopes have been placed in the pews for those
wishing to help defray the cost of flowers and decorations
for the church this Christmas. Anyone wishing to make a
donation of at least $10.00 per name may memorialize a
deceased family member or friend. Please print legibly the
information on the envelope. The names of all persons in
whose memory flowers have been donated will be printed
in a special memorial booklet and distributed at all
Christmas Masses. These special envelopes may be placed
in the collection with your Sunday Offering. Your efforts
will not only help beautify the church for the coming of
Christ, but will also honor a loved one in a
very special way.
All envelopes must be turned in by Sunday,
Dec. 17th.
NO EXCEPTIONS!
