We thank David Obssuth for purchasing eight new shrubs that were planted in the front of the parish. It took seven hours of work, from removing the old shrubs, planting the new ones, and spreading forty bags of mulch. Our property looks much better.  This work was done with the help of Michael Cyman and Fr. Joseph. Yes, we are getting ready for the church to be open again……Missing you all.
