Consider Volunteering at Dożynki

Posted by on Leave a Comment

Much help is needed for this 3 day event on August 16th, 17th, and 18th. We also need help setting up and cleaning up after the event. Without your generous help, this event could not take place. The people of this parish have always come through, but we can’t wait until the last minute. If you can help out, contact Jennifer Hutzol via email:  jhutzol@roadrunner.com

Raffle baskets can be dropped off at the rectory; any time Monday through Thursday 9:30am until 3:00pm. Everything depends on you–we depend on you! Thank you.
