A THIRD GRADER CREATES AN ACROSTIC ABOUT THINGS THAT TAKE PLACE IN A PARISH

               “Praying to God,

                 A church is where we worship God,

          The Right thing to do is help people in need,

       Jesus Is the savior of the world,

   A priest iS a person who works at church,

                Holy Communion is very special.”

ONE MORE “THANKS FOR YOU”…

We wish to acknowledge and thank Carol Conti, CCD Administrative Aide, for her invaluable help in making sure that “all things CCD” happen as they should. Our program owes much to her for the excellence she brings to this important parish ministry.
