A FAMILY IN NEED

Hello parishioners and parents of children of St Paul the Apostle.  There is a group of parents who are starting a fundraiser to help the Gorsh family since Stephanie (mom) has been diagnosed with small bowel adenocarcinoma and is currently undergoing treatment in Iowa City. Stephanie and Jordan currently have two children at St Paul’s, Carter 2A and Stella KB. Next year their youngest Emery will start 4-year-old preschool. If you would like to help support this family though this difficult time, a fund has been set up through the church office, that will be used for their children’s tuition next year. If you would like to donate, please mail or drop off your donation to the church office at St Paul the Apostle Catholic Church c/o Rose Strickland. Tell them it is to go towards the Gorsh family tuition.

Please keep Stephanie, Jordan, Carter, Stella & Emery Gorsh in your prayers. Thank you for your support.
