The 25th Anniversary Parish Directories have arrived and will be distributed after all Masses during the weeks of February 25/26, March 3/4 and March 10/11.

If you/your family were photographed for the 25th Anniversary Directory, stop downstairs after Mass to pick up your complimentary copy.

Later in March, extra copies will be made available to parishoners who did not get their picture taken for the directory but still would like a copy.  See the bulletin for more details.
