Our parish is hosting the Parish Life Conference for our diocese this year! This means we will have a booth in person for anyone who will be in Colorado and wants to come see us. It also means we will be volunteering to help with the event as much as possible in addition to manning our booth.  We are still making crowns to order and will be too busy to take on as many unique orders as we have been getting, but I’d like to leave a few suggestions of crowns that we should still be able to make.
