A GIFT TO THE PARISH: A very beautiful antique statue of St. Anne, with her little daughter Mary, has been given to our parish.

Grandparents, bring your grandkids to view the grandmother of Jesus and the mother of the Virgin Mary. The statue will be in St. Paul Plaza in time for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary on Thursday, December 8.
