Help Need – Heavy Storm Damage

Events, From the Pastor, Parish Life, St. Valentine /

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

Our cemetery and park are in need after last Monday’s storm. Many trees are down; heavy wind broke many branches. There is a lot to be done. Therefore, on Saturday, starting 8 AM we are going to clean up all the damaged trees. Please come, whoever can come. Every pair of hands is valuable even if you can only pick up branches. Bring work gloves with you. There will be lunch and water available for all who work.  Please also check if the grave of your beloved ones is ok.
