Christmas Flower Memorial
Again this year we are asking for your assistance as we decorate Saint Joachim’s for Christmas. We encourage you to make a donation towards our Christmas flowers in memory of a loved one. Simply write the name(s) of those you would like to remember on an envelope and drop it in this weekend’s (December 15/16) collection. Please also indicate that the envelope is for “Flowers”, and include your envelope number. The names of all those being honored will be included in our Christmas bulletin.
