December 16

Going to try to keep up over holiday on updates.

November 4th

Took off the stuff about the bazaar schedule on main page and thought I'd change the Saturday Mass time due to time change and realized I never did change it to 5pm last spring, oops! Updated the news here.

October 7, 2007

Seeing Father Mark today after Mass inspired me to get an update done. Did note the home page that there won't be a 10:30 am Mass next week due to the Bazaar.

August 25, 2007

Doing the news update ... think I have got that done two or three weeks in a row despite not noting it here. :)

June 14, 2007

Late news and new Elizabeth Ministry page up.

June 3, 2007

Hope all had a good Memorial Day.

May 17, 2007

No update for quite a while and this is late. About half my fault and half things like getting new hosting and my phone line in the house being so bad I couldn't get online. Updated main page and hope to upload more of the old content.

March 5, 2007

A quick update and warning that the site might go down for a day or two with a transfer of domain power. :)

January 28, 2007

Update of the news and I should get the parish council minutes up as well today.
