Bishop Joensen has asked that we come together in prayerful

adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and pray the Rosary. Please join

Drive for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities. Parishioners may donate for individual candies or obtain a “brick” which contains 50 Tootsie Rolls. We are suggesting a minimum of $12 for a brick.

Tootsie Rolls are great for upcoming holiday candy baskets, bowls, and stocking stuffers.

“T-Roll bricks” will also be available at the parish office during regular business hours.

May God bless you for your generosity.

For anyone who would like to have a “brick” (50 count) of Tootsie Rolls delivered to your home,

please contact Randy Kamentz at 515-360-8546 or rdolf47@hotmail.com. The stipulations are: 1) you must live within a five mile radius of our
