We also send thanks to the many volunteers who, week-by-week, throughout the year, help maintain our churches and participate in the parish liturgy in many different ways: readers, musicians, children’s liturgy leaders, sacristans, flower arrangers, brass cleaners, church cleaners and church maintenance, and our collection counters and Parish Finance Committee. All that you do is greatly appreciated.
