We thank all those who helped with our Parish Picnic on June 12th, brought salads, watermelon, side dishes, desserts, mugs for children to design for Father’s Day. We thank those who prepared the food in the kitchen and cleaned afterward. It was a pleasure to see everyone having fun and spending time together.

On Friday, May 20th a new illuminated cross was installed by Butler Sign Company. It was a gorgeous day. The work was done professionally with great results. The sign looks beautiful during the day and at night.
The Parish parking lot was repaired in the period of three weeks (end of April – mid of May 2016) with necessary postponements due to the rain. The work of repaving, crack filling with hot tar rubberized crack filler, seal coating with commercial asphalt latex sealer and re-striping was done by Doctor Driveway/Mike (commercial and residential). We are blessed to have a renovated parking lot.
