The Merry Widows of St. John s is a group of widows young and old, of recent and long standing widowhood that offers each other mutual support, social, psychological and religious and thus helps in the process of healing and adjustment. At present, the focus is social in the hope of building interesting relationships in a relaxed atmosphere. The moments of support and deeper sharing flow informally from this. But, he reminds us, true worship of God involves using those good gifts to benefit the less fortunate. As each new school year begins, new knowledge is handed on to the next generation.
Customs accumulate over the years which sometimes get confused with real values.
If we all would make an effort to sell one or two tickets we would easily surpass our goal. The value of the prizes is in excess of 21000.00. If for some reason you cannot sell all of the tickets you received we would appreciate it if you would return the unsold tickets to the parish. The State Gaming Commission requires us to account for all sold and unsold tickets. The raffle committee is asking you to support the companies and individuals that donate all these fine prizes.
