All money collected will be matched by the K of C 1480. We should all feel that this is extremely important to support Bishop Malesic as he continues to shepherd the Diocese of Greens- burg. The fund is used by the bishop to support Seminarians who are in formation. The Knights will have an insert with an envelope in next week’s bulletin . Please remember they will expand our parish contribution by adding matching funds. The check that they will present to the bishop in May will represent X2 the amount collected in our local parishes. Thank you in advance for your generosity. COLLECTING BABY ITEMS... Surely you have noticed the baskets near the entrances. They are marked for collecting baby items.
