Thank You from Glenmary Home Missioners
Father Bruce Brylinski who visited our parish in August thanks our parish community for its generous support of the home missions. More than $3,000 was donated. We will also be sending any leftover clothing, shoes, etc. from our October Yard Sale to the Glenmary Missions. Continue to pray for these missionary efforts in our own country. Fr. Bruce Brylinski
Bible Study – Exodus: Called to Freedom
