Boy Scout Troop 29 would like to thank the parish for their continued donations to our can collection fundraising cage. Unfortunately, because of a lack of employees and room for cans and bottles at the redemption center, was have had to periodically close the donation cage. Please bear with us as we strive to offer this service for the parish and fundraising opportunity for the scouts. We also ask that when the cage is closed that you not leave bags and boxes outside the cage, as we have no room for them when we close the cage, and we want the church grounds to look well kept. Thank you - Jeff Mastin, Scoutmaster

Imposter posing as Fr. Tony in either Emails or Test Messages to Parishioners! We have received multiple reports of parishioners receiving fraudulent emails from someone posing as Fr. Tony. The messages again begin vaguely with the imposter stating that he needs assistance and to respond if the email is received. If the recipient responds, the imposter then states he is in a meeting, cannot use the phone, but needs gift cards or eBay cards purchased for people in the hospital. PLEASE KNOW that Fr. Tony will NEVER make such requests of you in this manner. Look carefully at the sender's email address, do not respond, and NEVER provide any personal information. If you are ever in doubt about an email that claims to be from Fr. Tony, please contact the Parish Office. Thank you!
