Last Christmas, our parish was very generous to the parishioners in Long Beach, Mississippi since they were suffering such devastation from Hurricane Katrina. There is still much to be done. I'm going down from Dec. 28 to Jan. 4 to do whatever I can to be of help. Are you available to come, too? Please call or e-mail me by Dec. 5, so we can let the volunteer coordinator know we're coming.

Thanks much. S. Sheral
