THANKS: Many, many thanks to all those individuals who helped in any way with the BBQ Dinner and Raffle last Sunday. Volunteers included those who cooked and served the meal, collected prizes and ran the raffle, all the individuals who provided the wonderful desserts, to all those who came out and supported the fundraiser by purchasing the meal and raffle tickets, and last but not least to Still Smokin’ who smoked all the meat and gave a special deal on extra brisket when we ran short because of a larger than expected turnout. Congratulations to the winners of the raffle prizes which includes: Quilt – Anna Kaska; TV – Renee Thomas; Drill Combo – Traci Pustejovsky; Necklace – Preston Pustejovsky; Handbag – Agnes Marak; Gift Certificate – Lauren Wolf; Gift Certificate – Mariann Pustejovsky.

Get a powerful vision of who and what the Church truly is and how our daily lives can be transformed by this revelation. Drs. Scott Hahn, John Bergsma, and Michael Barber will help us plumb the depths of many practical questions we grapple with and we will learn how our daily lives are intricately entwined with the life of Christ’s Mystical Body, the Church. This teaching can transform how you view the world and your place in it. Materials are on the back table with more info.
