    CARDS OR A VISIT?? Visiting the sick and shut-ins is a Corporal Work of Mercy and we have a good number of our parishioners who would enjoy a visit or a card! One such person is David Kite, son of Margaret Kite, who is confined to bed due to Parkinson’s disease. David’s family gives him all the care they can but it would be nice if former classmates or friends could stop by and visit or send him a card. His address is: David Kite, 10375 Sour Hill Rd., Cadet, MO 63630. Your card or visit might just make his day!
