HOW’S YOUR MEMORY?

Have you ever walked into a room and forgot why you are there and what you were looking for?  Or lost  your car keys only to find that they were where they belonged?  It is not just age that does it.  Have you received a call from one of your children because they forgot their lunch or their homework.

 Last week the Stewardship Commitment Cards were mailed out to all the parishioners.  Are you thinking to yourself "Where did I put that"? 

 Hustle on home, look for it and return it next week to the collection basket or mail it in the enclosed envelope that was provided.
