The mulch for our Parish trees and shrubs has arrived and Ted is distributing the mulch around the parish grounds, but it still needs to be spread. Bring your gloves and rake at a time convenient for you and look for a pile of mulch. Simply level it out--what could be simpler. We hope that many will take a few minutes of their time to stop by and do what they see needs to be done. There is a lot to do before the church dedication. Your help is appreciated.
Our SJN Rosary Garden would benefit from more gardeners. Please call Michele 458-6111 if you would like to help.
