Now Every Sunday!

A Gratitude Moment –
This is an Every  Sunday Opportunity
This is an opportunity for one of us, every Sunday, to come forward and share a minute about something we are grateful for and to thank God.
Father Bill will invite you to come forward before the offering. If coming to the lectern is not your style, you may just stand by your seat to give thanks. Tell us what has happened in your life recently and why you are thankful.
