Thank You Once Again for everyone who contributed to the success of our 47th Annual Chicken Dinner and Raffle. We served approximately 300 people and netted just over $2,000. Our raffle brought in a net of $4,350. Thank you and God bless.

The Overall Champion in raffle ticket sales goes to Paul Klockeman who led the whole way with 127 tickets. I think next year we should start a "contest" with an award to the leader. Outstanding job Paul! We need more Pauls!!

The latest Liturgist Schedule is available in the back of church.
