* Second Annual OktoberFest, October 14, 2007 (see Photo Album)
Our children shared their creativity with Art & Craft activates, bobbing for apples, the Witch’s Toss and some other fun activities. Our raffle booths provided many winners a trinket or two, Ray our DJ had the children dancing, singing, enjoying a limbo and hula hoop contest and the opportunity to wrap their parents and Fr. Dennis in tissue.
Thank you to all the school parents who on Saturday participated in the Annual Fall Clean-Up. The grounds looked great! Congratulations to each of you who served on the committee for a job well done, a huge thank you. Thank you to all the school parents and many parishioners who joined us to keep things running as smoothly as possible. Thank you to all of our guests, we hope you had a great time and we hope to see you soon.

Sunday began with an outdoor Polka Mass, with the
