BUTTER BRAID BREADS ARE BACK!  Next weekend Butter Braid Breads will be available in St. Paul Plaza after all Masses. Stop by our table and taste a sample of some of these delicious breads. The bread comes frozen; you simply thaw it, place it in the oven to bake, and then enjoy!  Seven different flavors: blueberry/cream cheese, cherry, apple, cream cheese, cinnamon, raspberry, and caramel rolls; $8.00 a loaf. This is our only fundraiser for Elementary Faith Formation, and your purchase will help fund activities for these students. Please be generous. Thank you!
