I would like to express my sincere thanks to all our youth members for yard clean-up in our community on Sunday. You did a great job in helping our elderly in the community. As I talked to you in the Sunday homily, “When you help the sick and elderly, you are helping Jesus.” Thank you Beth, Deacon Dan and all the parents to help organize this event. God bless you. ~Fr. Joe P.S. Wow! It makes me think that you do listen to the homily on Sundays. (LOL)
