Dear Parishioners of Saint Petronille,

I apologize for my typo in last week’s bulletin article and an inconvenience caused by my error. I had listed our Mass of Remembrance as occurring on Tuesday evening when, in fact, it was on Monday evening. Hopefully, all those wanting to attend heard the correct date on the announcements and printed elsewhere in the bulletin.
