THANK YOU!

OUR SINCERE "THANK YOU" -

 To Mark & Renee Salchert for Chairing the 2002 Holy Cross Fall Festival!

To the Tuesday Toilers for their continuous help around the parish. The guys do repairs, paint, install, crush cans, and tackle many new projects. They have been superb at helping put our buildings back together after the remodeling.

To the English Altar & Rosary Guild for the gift of $420 to be used for altar needs.

To the Family of Marguerite Moritko for their gift of $1,560 in Memory of their wife and mother.

To everyone who has brought cans for recycling. This week all those cans and leftover copper wiring added $654.71 to the table and chair fund. That's 1,488 pounds of crushed cans. Keep bringing in all those cans!

To Advance Company for always donating their truck to haul all aluminum to the recycling center.
