Organizing for Heaven 2024
Sunday, Oct 13, 2024, 10:00 AMWe spend significant time making arrangements for our education, weddings, children, and our retirement. However, sometimes we neglect to attend to the details of that time when our health will decline and finally, we go into everlasting life with our Lord. This gathering will answer questions about how to request a funeral at our parish, the guidelines for a Saint Michael funeral, and how to purchase a niche in our Columbarium. Registration is required by Friday, October 11.
