Each year the Diocese recognizes those who have followed in the footsteps of St. Joseph and honors them for all they have done for the Church, especially their Parish.

                Dick and Mary are being recognized for their many years of service to St. Louis Church in various ways. They are always ready and willing to help with our various social activities by assisting with preparation, cleanup as well as contributing their talents to the life of the parish. In addition, Dick is always the first one here for the cleanup and maintenance of the church grounds. They have helped us prepare the church for Christmas and Easter as well.
