1. Our two-bit collection this Sunday is for School Renovation. Thank you for your ongoing support for the repair of our school building. During this Christmas break, we are installing the new kitchen in the parish school. The old kitchen had safety and sanitation concerns. The new one will be a great improvement. It should be operating when school opens the first week of January. Besides our school lunch program, the kitchen is used by many different groups of the parish.
