to attend the
Annual St. Clare
Caroling and Chili Supper
Sunday, December 18
3:00-6:00 p.m.
Parish Hall
Don’t miss this opportunity to take a break from the stresses of
the holiday season and enjoy a festive St. Clare Advent tradition!
Plan to bring holiday cheer to our homebound parishioners by
caroling at their homes and local retirement centers on Sunday, December
18. Meet at the parish hall at 3:00pm to divide into groups,
receive songbooks and proceed to the caroling locations. Then
return to the parish hall to warm-up with homemade chili and a mug of hot
cider.
Carolers, chili cooks and cookie bakers are needed to make this
event happen. Please sign-up at the east church exit or send Laurie
Zupsic an email at ldzupsic@yahoo.com
if you plan to participate.
PLEASE
COME AND JOIN THE FUN!
