As was mentioned in Fr. John's column last week, we are acquiring new hymnals for all three churches that we will bless and use for the first time on Pentecost weekend, June 4 & 5. To help defray the cost, we are offering the opportunity to memorialize loved ones and friends on a bookplate to be placed on the inside front cover of each hymnal.
Forms will be available in church for the next few weekends and online HERE to request a memorial bookplate for a suggested donation of $25.00. The bookplates will indicate that the hymnal is (1) a gift of the named donor; (2) a gift in memory of a deceased person; (3) a gift of the named donor in honor of a living person; or (4) a gift of the named donor in memory of a dead person. Donations also can be made to help defray the cost of accompaniment books or the rolling carts on which the hymnals will be stored. These hymnals will allow more of us to actively participate in the beautiful music ministry of our parish by singing our praises to the Lord.
