We wish him and his family a very happy and fruitful journey with us at St. Justin's. Neil will be joining us on weekends to assist at Masses and the Sacraments of Baptism, Marriage and when possible Funerals.

On Saturday morning we prepared the Advent wreath , Crib and Christmas Tree. Thanks to the Liturgy Group. There will be the usual collection of Toys & Gifts of no perishable foods for distribution by the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Your gifts of cash , Toys and food will be put to good use. Gifts can be left at the Crib each weekend during Advent. Please do not wrap the toys.
