The Leadership committee, led by Laurie Janda, is working on a special gift for Fr. Brian for Priest Appreciation. Each month, the court sends the members of Jefferson Place a goody bag to remind them that they have not been forgotten and the court thinks of them often. The court also sends out get well wishes or thinking of you cards to any of its members who may be having some hardships.
