Condolences


It is with great sadness to inform you of the passing of Brother Ricardo Rodriguez's mother, Fortunata.  Please keep Brother Ricardo and his family in your thoughts and prayers.  

Eternal rest grant unto Fortunata, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen


DJH, GK 

Thank YOU!


Thanks to the Brother Knights that assisted with Saturday's Ladies Night and a special thanks to Brother Arthur Hausler for chairing the event and ensuring the evenings success once again.  Lots of planning and many hours went into this special night.  Many compliments to the cooks and servers, too!  Job well done by all! THANK YOU!!

Thanks also to the Brother Knights that assisted with the collection of items at this weekend's Baby Shower benefiting the PRMC, especially PRMC Board Chair and PGK Howard Harbes.  Per Brother Howard - in addition to the abundance of Shower gifts the parish donated $2595.00 in cash and checks.  

Thanks again!
