My dear Parishioners: I need your help!

Do you like to make soup AND if so will you make soup for our Community Lenten Luncheon this Wed., March 18?? We have participated in these Lenten Luncheons for many years and each church takes a turn at having a speaker (Deacon Tony will be speaking this week.) and sandwiches and soup are always served along with dessert. We seem to have everything in order except we desperately need someone to cook some soup! Hopefully, after reading my pleas for assistance, someone will stop after Mass this weekend and let me or one of the deacons know that you will be a “soupmaker.” I know there is someone (a family or a few friends) who will offer their time for this yearly event. God bless and thank you!
