  Thanks to our efforts last month, Family Mass is well stocked with juice boxes, however, the paper plates, napkins, bottled water (8oz or 12oz) and nut-free packaged cookie supplies are low. For those willing to donate we will have a collection bin in the back of the auditorium next week (12/16-19), or you can drop off donations at the Parish Center (408 E. 80th). Cash Donations always welcome! Please reach out to Ed Butler for more information. ed.m.butler@gmail.com. Thank you for supporting Family Mass.
