    We are so grateful for the generosity of so manypeople, said Schulte.

    Reiser, the founder of Reiser Relief and longtimepriest at Epiphany Catholic Church, Coon Rapids,echoed Schultes sentiment.

    We are so grateful for the support from all of you, Reiser said. May God bless each of you mostabundantly and know you are in my daily Massand prayers.
