+ HELP NEEDED: It's time to get Our Lady's Garden going again and there is a great need for help throughout the growing season to keep this wonderful project going. Kathleen Naimoli rototilled the very muddy plot singlehandedly on this very cold windy day! If you can lend a hand, come to the church on Saturday, March 29, at 9 a. m. and help with the first planting. And look for other times during spring and summer when you can help by weeding, cultivating, and picking the veggies.
