Thanks for your generous support!
On Sunday October 26, there will be an awesome
opportunity for parishioners to save up to
three lives by donating one pint of blood at
our fall blood drive. Can you believe—
three people?!? What a wonderful feeling
to know that YOU ACTUALLY MADE a
difference between life and death for
someone or actually three someone's.
It takes, at the most, one hour or 20 minutes per life you
can save. Please don’t make excuses, like fear or time,
and let this awesome opportunity slip through your
fingers. Plan on donating blood—that life giving liquid
that is only available from human donors on Sunday,
October 26 from 8am to 1:30 pm. God will bless you for
it!
Please see page 3 for details.
