Fr. Damian Richards, of TMP-Marian and St. Nicholas Parish, was a guest speaker in the 6th Grade Personal Finance class today. He spoke about his parish budget and how they take care of the money given to them by the parishioners. Even the church has to be good stewards of the money entrusted to it. We saw some real world examples of what all the parish does to take care of us all. We thank Fr. Damian for his time and pray for all those who support our Heartland Parishes and in turn, our Catholic Schools! 🙏🏼
