Catholic Daughters Court St. John #2526 Celebrate Service
Farewell To Fr. Milton And A Happy Birthday To Sr. Rosalie
| | |
|
Court St. John #2526 were busy this past weekend. We surprised Sr. Rosalie, CCCL Magazine editor and active volunteer at St. John's Cathedral, with a monetary birthday gift. She hates surprises, but we pay her no mind. She deserves a little attention every now and then for all her hard work.
Sunday, August 28 was also Fr. Milton's last day at St. John's Cathedral. The Catholic Daughters along with members of the Guadalupanos and Genesis contributed to a cookies and punch reception for Fr. Milton on his last day.
