December 9, 2013
We asked the children in the parish's Religious Education classes if they would share with us what they thank God for. They responded with beautiful thoughts, words and pictures. We were so touched by their responses that we wanted to share them with you. After doing our best to read their little handwriting and some unique methods for spelling, we listed out below what they said. Their responses are in order by their last name's first initial.
Read below and look for a special display of these cards in the narthex during Masses this weekend. Enjoy!
