• Baby Shower:  October 30th, following the Divine Liturgy, our Sisterhood will shower Julia Zumpano, with gifts and love, for the newest addition to the Zumpano family Baby Zeno!! All are welcome! We will have lunch, shower her and Zeno with gifts, and most of all, we will enjoy fun, friendship, laughter and the joy of the Holy Spirit, as we welcome Baby Zeno into the world! Please see Rose Yovanovich or Stacey Zahoranski, to RSVP for the shower, and for details on Julia's baby registry!
• E-mail addresses, cell phone numbers and other updated contact information is needed: The Board is working on an updated membership and 'friends of the parish' directory.
