Make plans now: Fall ‘Clean-Up Day’ will be on Saturday 17 November. Yes, it is the same day as our Bake Day, so if you are not helping at one event, please help with the other. The idea is not to take people from either project, but to get the parish family together to work on different projects at the same time. Come and lend a hand (or two!).
