MUTUAL INTEREST
From Sr. Gemma - As 2012 begins, I ask God to bless in a special way each and every one of our parishioners.
Who knows what the New Year holds. Since it is held by our loving God we know “all will be well”. Thanks to all
of you who remembered me with gifts, cards and best wishes this Christmas Season and for my birthday. Often
people say it must be hard having a birthday on the 24th. Actually it’s kind of fun.
Lovingly, Sr. Gemma
