Can we do this?
Can we live, share and celebrate our faith?
If you’ve ever wondered, let’s join together to answer the question.
If each adult attending Mass each weekend were to donate $1.00 each week for the next four weeks, we could have
over $300 to help the Vassar Food Pantry buy Easter Hams for the needy.
There will be a basket in the front of the church starting the weekend of Feb. 20/21 for this purpose, or you can mail
your donation to the parish
St. Elizabeth Faith Community Christian Service.
