Christmas Eve Mass: 4:00 P.M.  Welcome!

The Mass after Christmas, Dec. 30: No Mass.  Rosemary & I will be in Mexico.

Two questions:

• What do you think about putting together a community directory with just names, perhaps email addresses, phone number, even address?
• What about a food drive Christmas Eve?  When St. James Parish said they did not want our donations any more, I forgot about the project.  But, we have Food Banks in Plano & Richardson, and people have said they would like to contribute.

Tree Project update: maybe in December?  Waiting to hear from Collin Co. Child Advocacy Center, Park & Los Rios.

See you Sunday.
