I know this is the last announcement, and lots of people have already tuned out, BUT this is important. We need to fill our bus on June 5 to go to Harrah's in San Diego. We need at least 30 more for the one bus and would love to fill the other one also. Come have fun on the way there, at the Casino, and on the way back. You will also be helping to raise money for the Parish. Tickets are available at the back of Church after Mass.

 

Thank you again to all who helped to make the Festival the fun place to be last week-end. I know that many people worked very hard and I need you to know how much myself, Fr. Bill and Deacon Ricardo appreciated it.
