FYI

we received the invoice for our annual church calendars. Forty calendars, two liturgical calendar/rubric books, and shipping totals $422.18. Thank you to those who contributed and lowered the expense for the church. Your contributions have kept the calendars free for parishioners, and it is much appreciated. We hope to continue providing this service in the future, but only with your help!
