To all friends of St. Francis of Assisi Parish,
I hope you had a blessed Christmas Season, and enjoyed the beautiful Christmas decorations in our Church.
I would like to thank the many people who participated in making our church so attractive. Our wonderful custodian Pastor who gathered all the equipment needed plus all the climbing up and down for us.
Heartfelt thanks go out also to Pat Barozie, Nancy Christensen, Lorraine Fusaro, Debbie Hayde, Diane Lake, Ellen Levaste, Joan Lobasso, Lorraine Longo, Aurea Maley, Diane Mueller,
Kathy Santomauro, and MaryAnn Viglucci.
They all did so much in giving of their time and talent to help this all come together. Many thanks and wishing everyone a healthy and happy 2023! – Clare Intemann
