The family of Bill Nosek is truly blessed to have experienced the love, prayers and generosity of this congregation. The cards, visits and individual acts of kindness helped bring peace to Bill and myself. He fought the good fight until the very end, but it was not to be. Thank you all, dear LOSH, Knights, Men's Club Prayer Warriors, SHJ staff and friends.

"But I will show you a more excellent way." (1 Cor. 13:1) Love never fails. It is so much more than a mere emotion. Love opens our hearts (and our lives) and allows us to selflessly consider others ahead of our own desires, wants and needs. This same selfless love brought Jesus to the cross and it calls each of us to follow him by reaching out to those in need. Return your CASA gift/pledge in the provided envelopes.
