THANK YOU from IHM Sisters
Dear Parishioners,
One goal of the OLA Annual Appeal was for needed repairs and upkeep in the convent. The IHM Sisters want to thank Fr. Carey for his care and especially, we say thank you to each of you for your generosity in the appeal. Our first and second floor halls, stairwells and ceilings in two rooms have a new coat of paint! Future attention to pipes and sinks are in the works, too! We are blessed to be part of OLA and pray many blessings on each of you especially during the Easter season.
God bless you!
Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
