CONTRIBUTION STATEMENTS CHANGE Parishioners who have donated $200 and over in 2015 will now automatically receive a statement of contribution from St. Louise. It is NOT necessary to call and request a statement. Others who still would like to request a statement, should call the rectory. Donations received after January 1, 2016, will not be included in 2015 donations. Statements will be mailed out after January 10 and everyone should receive their statement by February 1. This is a more efficient and less time-consuming way to process the statements.
PRAY FOR THE SICK OF THE PARISH Loving God, give strength to all who struggle with illness. Grant them courage when they are afraid and comfort when they are in pain. Because of government privacy regulations, hospitals and nursing homes are no longer allowed to notify us if you are admitted to either facility. If you or a family member would like to be visited, receive Communion or be anointed, please call the rectory at 352-7388.
