In the Lady Chapel, two tablets depicting winged cherubs (putti) have been hung on either side of the Virgin Mary and Child porcelain tablet, an installation given by Bob Fair in memory of his late wife, Nancy.

Kitchen Users & Recycling. We are doing a lot better now as we adjust to recycling our kitchen garbage in the right containers. However, do take a moment to be sure you’ve got it right! Mixing it up any old how defeats the purpose as that whole bin will be rejected and go to land fill.
DON’T FORGET FARE SHARE!!!
Thank you to all who support Fare Share by leaving donations of packaged foods, tinned goods, peanut butter, condiments, pet food, and hygiene supplies in the basket near our front door. The need is great and we have been commanded to help. When I was hungry, you gave me something to eat. (Matthew 25:35)
