The Cullen Family would like to thank those who made donations to St. Bernadette’s in lieu of flowers at the time of their mom’s passing. This week we were able to purchase a new piano for our church in memory of Muriel Louise Cullen. The former piano has now been placed in the Chapel. We hope this will be a great addition to our music ministry.
Thank you!
