ATTENTION, ALL PARISHIONERS: The Butter Braid Breads are back by popular demand! On the weekend of October 28/29, the breads will be sold in St. Paul Plaza after all Masses. These breads come frozen; you simply let thaw and then bake for 20 minutes to enjoy a wonderful delicious treat for the family. They make great gifts. The bread comes in six flavors:  blueberry/cream cheese, cherry, cream cheese, cinnamon, apple, and raspberry. We will also be selling terrific caramel rolls. The cost of each loaf of bread is only $8. This is the major fundraiser for Elementary Faith Formation, and your purchase will help fund equipment for our students.
