PEW CUSHIONS
The new pew cushions have beenprovided through the courtesy andgenerosity of Louie & Lillian Pontello,former members of our parish. Lilliandied Dec. 30, 2000 at the age of 82 andLouie died May 17, 2008 at the age of 91. They were lifetime parishioners andLouie was an usher at 5:30pm mass formany, many years. Lillian had to bring acushion to mass every Sunday so Louiesaid: “when I die I am donating a portionof my estate to the Our Lady of LourdesMemorial Fund and I want some of thatmoney to be used for pew cushions.” Heand Lillian would be pleased to knowthat we now have comfortable seats. Our job and responsibility is to take good careof the cushions — Please make everyeffort to treat them properly. And prayfor Louie & Lillian and all who havecontributed to the Memorial Fundthrough their estate.
