Bulletin
In Case We Missed You
This past week, Gina Shaughnessy, our parish representative from Liturgical Publications, Inc., has been working on setting up the ads on the back of our bulletin for the coming year. We hope that you will consider advertising on the bulletin, since the revenue from the ads is what makes the bulletin possible at no cost to the parish. It’s a great way to get your name in front of parish families. Advertisements can be purchased for a business, family, or a sponsor ad can be purchased supporting community service organizations such as a battered women’s shelter, local food shelf, etc. Please give these ideas some thought. We need and appreciate your help! If you are interested, please call Gina at 952-356-6488 or email her at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . This is also a great opportunity to thank all of you who already support the church by advertising in the bulletin. We hope that the parish families will patronize your businesses, and thank you for your continued support with our bulletin.
