Happy Birthday!

Transformations

An article in the parish newsletter at St. Anthony Church, St. Anthony, notes, “the parish is in the early stages of transforming the Padua Center Annex into a Parish Hall and Office Complex.”

The former classrooms would be converted into offices, and a communications system would be installed.

“We extend our best wishes to Debbie and extend to her our appreciation for the almost three years she has been with us.

“Our new secretary will be Nancy Summers, a St. John parishioner. I and all of us look forward to working with Nancy.”
