MEMORIALS

The three restored Stations of the Cross displayed at the Baptistry last weekend were gifts of the following:
In memory of Michael and Mary Bucko, by Steven and Helen Bucko.
In memory of and in honor of our loved ones, by Lois and Tom Lietzke.
In loving memory of the Leon Family.
Many thanks; your gifts inspired the following:
The remaining eight Stations will be restored through a gift of a parishioner who would like to remain anonymous and who wishes to promote devotion  to the Way of the Cross.
What a wonderful lasting gift of preserving our heritage through sacrificial giving, just what the dramatic events of the Way of the Cross portray through word and art! Thanks, one and all.
