As I explained earlier this month, we have 2 groups of volunteers that count the collections. May was my month and today was our last day. On the fifth Sunday of the month (4 times a year) Saint Jude's Parish sends the collection money to Fr. Joe Domfe in Ghana. He is a missionary priest who comes to our parish every other summer for some "r and r". It is surprising in a way, but the collection on that 5th Sunday is almost always more than the normal weeks. Some people are very interested in the missions and it showed today as there were checks for 80.00, 100.00, 500.00 and one for 1000.00!! At the end of the month, we have to count the coins and roll them. The regular deposit goes in the night depository but the coin has to be taken into the bank and counted. Then back to the rectory with the coin deposit slip, the bank bag, and the key to the depository. Amen for another month!
While I was busy "counting", Buppa went off to Somerville to the funeral of an older, single lady who worked at Western Electric with him over thirty years ago. Only 6 or 8 family members there, so glad he and one other worker made the effort to go.
