PTA Updates
The St. Catharine-St. Margaret Parish Family 52nd Annual Candlelight Ball will be held on July 20, 2018. In the weeks leading up to the event, we will be selling admission tickets and raffle tickets at some of the weekend masses and Spring Lake events. The proceeds from the Candlelight Ball will benefit SCS and Parish Religious Education Programs. We are asking for volunteers to sign up to sell tickets before and after selected masses and at designated times during the Spring Lake Race Day Sidewalk Sale and the Spring Lake Irish Festival. Please feel free to bring your children and get everyone involved!
For Masses: If you are the first or last volunteer for that day, please pick up or drop off the labeled bag with the tickets on Theresa's front porch at 502 Passaic Avenue. A table and a display sign will be located in the vestibule at the front of the church. You may set up outside on one of the landings at the entranceway.
For Spring Lake Events: If you are the first or last volunteer for that day, please pick up or drop off the labeled bag with the tickets on Theresa's front porch. There will also be a sign and a small table to bring with you. Please set up on the sidewalk in front of Driftwood Coffee House, 1102 Third Avenue.
