We continue to collect soda cans. We collected a total of $600 this past year. Drop your rinsed cans off in the marked containers, located at the back entrance to the church. The cash we get will help us get gift certificates to be used for the bazaar. We are requesting Gift Certificates and Bottles of Wine. If you received a Gift Card or bottle of wine for Christmas that you don’t plan on using we would be more than happy if you regifted it for our Bazaar. We will also be more than happy if you could donate a bottle or $20 gift card a month until our November 4th Bazaar instead of all at the same time. That booth was one of our big money maker and we ran out early once again. You can drop your Gift card in the Collection basket in an envelope indicating what it is for. Or drop off either a card or bottle at the rectory. You can also call Nancy Benoit at 7667908, or Yvette Houle at 7665663 Your generosity is always very much appreciated. Rosary Devotion
