William Kelly council 9782 will hold its “Tootsie Roll” fund drive at all Masses at St. Mary’s Church, Holy Spirit Parish in Wells this weekend, September 4/5.  Member Knights will be visible at the conclusion of Mass to take donations, all of which will go to aid the cause mentioned. Please note this will only take place at St. Mary’s Church on those dates.  St. Martha’s will hold a similar drive at another time.  All donations will be gratefully accepted.
