Lenten Offering for Priest
The Lenten collection for the support of the priest is taken up around now. It’s the first of the green envelopes in the new contribution box you received earlier this month.
If you didn’t get envelopes, or if you have mislaid your contribution box, there are special envelopes available at the back of the church. You can use these, but do put your name on them.
Thank you sincerely for your generous and continued support.
