As many of you know, Deacon Steve Gies was recently diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. His wife, Linda, has suffered three strokes and is receiving rehab. We have had several inquiries from parishioners on how they may help them. Patti and Bill Wisniewski will be collecting gift cards from anyone who would like to help. There will be a collection bin/basket in the narthex/vestibules of the four Portage North parishes. Please feel free to drop off a gift card if you wish to do so (or you may place them in the collection basket marked Gies). If you have any questions, please contact the Wisniewski's at 330-297-7624.  We also have permission from the Diocese to share the link to their Go Fund Me account if you would like to support them in this way (https://gofund.me/ce6c7d40).
