*When the hanging rod in one of the closets in the Sacristy fell, so did many vestments – most of which we have not used in at least three years. They are now in Fr. Michaels office with no place to call home nor anyone to use them. They can, however, bless someone else, somewhere else. Without objection, I would like to take these vestments to Diocesan Convention in October and donate them to the diocesan “closet”. If you have a personal interest in any of these vestments, please come by the office or let me know as soon as possible. Thank you!
