Once again, the Parish
Picnic was a BIG success with 300 plus people in attendance,
beautiful weather, delicious food and lots of fun and games! Many
thanks to the 2005 Picnic Committee: Sally Zweber, Paul Kowash,
Colette Cassinelli, Greg Fredrick's, Mary Bunday and their many
volunteers. Sincere appreciation is also extended to everyone who
provided the salad fixings and yummy desserts. All did a fantastic
job to make this annual gathering another enjoyable community event! Preparations for this year’s holiday Giving Tree
Project will begin soon. If you are interested in joining the
organizational team, please contact Laurie Zupsic at the parish office,
ext 105. There will be one planning meeting in early October
followed by action items to complete throughout November and
mid-December. Working with fellow parishioners dedicated to this
important outreach project is an extremely rewarding experience.
Come and join us! PRESCHOOL NEWS - Giving Season Upon Us The preschool is abuzz this
time of year with various social service projects that contribute needed
items to the community. During the weeks of October 17th through the
28th, we will be collecting used coats and blankets in good condition for
distribution to downtown ministries. We encourage parish members to
contribute if they can. It's a wonderful opportunity to give some warmth
to those in need. FR. ANDREW

supportive over the pass of my seminary studies. May God bless each of you.” Fr. Andrew Thomas 517 The SCRIP committee will be offering Chinook Books
