Altar Rosary Society

Is May a very busy month for you?  Are there First Holy Communions, Mother’s Day, graduations and not to mention, birthdays?  Well, we have that same busy month, too.  Therefore, the Rosary Altar Society has decided to move the Mother-Daughter Communion Breakfast to Sunday, October 1, 2006. 

October is Rosary month and coming to the communion breakfast would be a lovely way to honor Our Lady.  Remember, the communion breakfast is just not for mothers and daughters.  It is for every woman and young lady who would like to be together as a group for a few hours to celebrate Mass, enjoy a great breakfast and hear an inspirational talk from our guest speaker.  The whole morning takes about 2-1/2 hours.  Consider giving yourself a spiritual boost and come to the communion breakfast this year.

The Rosary Altar Society will have their Annual Valentine’s Day Bake Sale after all the Masses on February 11 & 12. Pick up something delicious for your Valentine downstairs in the church hall.

Upcoming Dates:

Feb. 27 - Rosary, Mass & Installation - 6:40 p.m.
