Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We have been so blessed each year to celebrate our All Parish Mass and Picnic. This year, I was a bit concerned when I read the forecast for the day, but the weather held out and we once again enjoyed a wonderful time of worship, food, and fellowship. (Oh, and many games and activities for the children and adults!)

I want to thank Tom Gray for organizing the event and all the volunteers who worked so hard to make the day a success. Our Youth Minister, Andrew Krieger, bravely stayed in the dunk tank throughout the entire duration of the picnic. I was unable to help him take the plunge but several other parishioners were quite successful.

The music was great and once again everything came together. Thanks to everyone for your participation and involvement. It was a fun and blessed day!

in Christ,
Fr. Jim Northrop
