We we’re contacted by someone on behalf of the Village of Morley who is looking for a good picture of the old St. Apollonia Church. Morley will be celebrating their sesquicentennial this next summer and is putting together a town history. If you have anything of benefit, especially regarding the mission church of St. Apollonia that used to be in Morley, could you please share it with Terry Stilson at the Village of Morley or to us and we will pass it on? Thank you!

Does anyone know how to write and apply for grants? There are likely many opportunities for us to receive grant money if we knew where to look. Please notify the parish office if this is something you can do, or if you can help us find someone who has the time and talent of finding the appropriate grants for our specific needs and then applying for them. Thank you!
