QUOTE FROM THE CHURCH'S SOCIAL TEACHINGS

Every type of discrimination, whether social or cultural, whether based on sex, race, color, social condition, language or religion, is to be overcome and eradicated as contrary to God's intent. Gaudium et Spes #29

A Big "Thanks"

A very special THANK YOU to the Most Precious Blood parish community and the MPB school families for a memorable celebration on Sunday, June 1.
I will treasure the memories of the beautiful Mass, the prayers and Blessing Song, reception, warm wishes, and the beautiful gifts from the parish and the children.
Achieving one's goal takes hard work but it also takes people who support and believe in what one is doing, to make a goal reachable. I have felt that support and belief.
Thank you too to all those who helped to make this celebration possible.
Gratefully, Roseanne Burgoon
