One of this year's raffle prizes was a signed
and
numbered print (No. 001) of our church. A
total of 200 prints have been made and
signed as a fundraiser for our church.
The signed, unframed prints are $20 each,
and would make a great gift for someone who
has a wedding or a baptism, etc. in our
church. The prints could be matted with the
date of the event to commemorate a special
occasion.
These prints are available in the church
office, and proceeds will benefit our parish. |
