From Father David:
This year, our parish’s festival will fall on Sunday, August 12. The festival is obviously about building community within the parish, so that parishioners can come together and enjoy each other’s company, but it is important to remember that it is also an opportunity to support the financial needs of the parish. The festival is the largest single fundraising event for the parish so please come out to help support the parish’s work and ministry.
One way of starting that support now is through the raffle. Feast Day Festival Raffle tickets are now available to be picked up at the exits of the church, and we would like to see each family to sell at least two booklets. I’d like to thank those who have already donated prizes. And if anyone else is moved to offer their help, we are looking for donations for boxes of chicken to offset expenses for the meal, homemade canned goods for the Country store, live and silent auction items, as well as desserts the day of the festival.
It’s not just material help that can be offered, however. There are many different ways to serve during the festival. There will be opportunities to volunteer for a number of responsibilities: set up at the KC Hall, chicken skinning, chicken breading, dishwashers in the kitchen, clean up, and break down. Sign-up sheets will be available in the narthex during the month of July.
There will be plenty of activities available for the children of our parish, including a water slide, bingo, and a snow cone machine.
Please be on the look-out for further announcements in the bulletin. If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact any member of the Pastoral Council, and if you aren’t entirely sure who they are right now, their names are on the church’s website. Thank you.
In Corde Jesu,
Fr. David
