A Special Note of thanks:
Dear Parish School Families,
Our 34th Parish Festival was a tremendous success, and I wanted to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU! We were blessed to have had good weather. I am especially grateful to so many new families from our school that stepped up and made it happen. Many older parishioners (like me) noticed that your willingness to help attributed a great deal to our success. Special thanks go out to Jill and Matt Barber for their inspiration and outstanding leadership…..so very, very appreciated. The winner of the raffle is a single mom, who was in need of a car and was in tears of joy when she won.
We are off to a fantastic start in the new school year - a little hot, but we can handle it! I am looking forward to seeing all of you at our 75th celebrations next month.
God Bless,
Fr. Frank Kosem
Pastor
