NURSING HOME VISITATION and MASSES

This ministry work has in the past been done by the Womens' Association. This year, Marianne Murphy is serving as the ministry chairperson. If you are interested in helping, Marianne can be reached at 642-6199 or by e-mail at aiken_murphys@bellsouth.net.

THE CROSS STITCH GROUP

For those who enjoy needlecraft, we also have a Cross Stitch group.

The Cross Stitch Group does not meet on a regular basis to do needlecraft. Thus far, this group has limited its activities to preparing the First Communion ornaments. Each year, our First Communion recipients are presented with a cross stitch ornament. This year 53 ornaments were made. If you would like to help with this project or obtain general information on the Cross Stitch Group, please call Boo Molony at 648-3085 or Cherieann Herndon at 593-9771.
