Reflection from Deacon Gary Hoover
The Season of Lent

There once was a man who every day heading home from work would stop at the same tavern and drink three beers then go home.  This went on for several months, the bartender then asked the man, why he was drinking just three beers a day.  The man told the bartender that when he moved away from home, he and his two brothers made a pact. They would each have a beer for each other daily.  Then one day, entering the bar, the man only ordered two beers, this went on for about a week, the bartender as well as some of the other patrons wondered if something happened to one of the man’s brothers.  The bartender finally built up the courage and asked the man if one of his brothers had died or something. .  
Carve Your Family's Legacy in Stone

The new Memorial Brick Garden will be located on the left side of the new church, facing an alcove holding a bronze statue of St. John Neumann, with a walkway leading to it. The garden will be U-shaped, using the same brick as the outside wall of the church. The cost of each 4"x 8" brick is $200, and can be engraved with one, two or three lines of copy. (15 characters per line, including punctuation and spaces).  

Engrave a brick with your family name to show support for the parish,  commemorate special occasions such as baptisms, confirmations, weddings and anniversaries or honor or memorialize a family member or friend.
