Deo Gratias for our parish picnic: We thank God for the beautiful weather that made our 5th annual parish picnic the best one yet! Great food, selfless service with a smile, fun games for the kids, and wonderful music made for an unforgettable afternoon. There are too many generous volunteers to name here, but God knows who you are and He will reward you in the best way. Thank God for such a remarkable day – we’re a better parish for having spent that time together!
