2018 FALL FESTIVAL!  SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30! Planning is well underway!  Currently, most teams are in place.  However, we still need a few people to step up and assist in one or more areas.  We all have gifts of time and talent to offer for the Fall Festival.
 
BIG TICKET RAFFLE envelopes will be available to pick up in the Gathering Space after all Masses the weekends of August 25/26, September 1/2 and 8/9. Please pick up your tickets after Mass!  This saves our parish a great deal in postage costs!  Please do your part to ensure that the “Big Ticket” raffle remains the success it has been over the years!
 
SILENT AUCTION!  Please consider supporting the SILENT AUCTION with donations of merchandise, gift cards or services. Or consider calling a few places you do business with to see if they would be willing to donate an item to our Silent Auction.  To make the Silent Auction exciting and successful, we need your help with donated items.
 
The WINE TOSS is in need of donated beverages - as well. Bottles of wine and sports drinks are greatly appreciated!
 
The Fall Festival promises great food, fun, fellowship and live entertainment!  Festivities also include:

• Cinnamon rolls/coffee
• Tamales and other great Mexican food
