Shopping cards will be available for the summer after
most Masses, and at the rectory during office hours. We
ask that people try a purchase – they will find that it really
costs nothing to buy the cards when you realize that you
are going to spend the money at that particular store
anyway. This fund raiser is very important to our school.
