We have lily bulbs from Easter available to anyone who would like to plant some in their yard. Simply take the plant out of the pot and put it in the ground. Let the green stem wither on its own, and you will see new growth in about six weeks. Expect flowers by the fall, and blossoms early next summer! Come to the rectory garage Mon. through Fri. from 9-12 to pick yours up. What could be more appropriate, as the symbol of St. Joseph is the lily!
