RELIGIOUS GIVE THANKS
“Thank you for accompanying us as we care for our elder
sisters,” writes a religious superior. Your gift to last week’s
collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious helps support
nearly 34,000 sisters, brothers, and religious order priests past
age 70. May God bless you abundantly for your goodness.
USHERS/GREETERS NEEDED
There is an urgent need for ushers/greeters for the 10:00
p.m. Mass on December 24, Christmas Eve (Polish/English).
As of this writing we have no one scheduled. As we traditionally
have a larger attendance at this mass, including visitors and
former parishioners, we will especially need the help of ushers
and greeters. Please call Joyce at 216-749-6598 if you can
help out at this Mass.
All MASSES are in English except the 11:00 Sunday mass
which is in Polish.
