Good afternoon!

We have a slight change to the musical entertainment for our picnic.

Saturday evening's entertainment will now be provided by Rae's Creek Band. Sadly, our friends with Baywolfe had to back out due to a medical issue. Prayers for a swift and full recovery!!

Sunday's replacement for Rae's Creek will be the band Chaser! They are a popular local rock and country group based in the Metro East, performing southern rock, classic rock, and country covers across the St. Louis area. Thank you to them for jumping in at the last minute and we look forward to welcoming them and their fans!

Just 22 days to go!! See you soon!

Well....this should just about cover it.... :-)

One missing detail...ride wristband sales:

PRE-SALES will begin after masses the weekend of May 9 & 10 PRE-SALE Price is $60.00.

After May 10th pre-sales will be available at the parish office and the price is $70.00.

ALL Pre-Sales will end at noon the Friday of the picnic. At that point, the Weekend Wristband will be $80.

Note: the weekend band is always your best value. It's good all three days with unlimited rides. Ride costs are $4.00-$5.00 per ride. We will have matinee times (on flier) and sell those wristbands on site just before each begins.

And....just like that...the 2025 Parish Picnic is all done.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of the support. This community is our home and we are grateful to be able to welcome you all to our campus for some food, fun, good music and fellowship. We hope and pray that we will see many of you more often; along the rest of the year at Mass or at our other functions. Most of all, we pray for the continued growth and success of our community and the safety of each and every member of this beautiful place we call home.

To our parishioners, friends and neighbors who volunteer to help us in the weeks before and certainly this week a simple thank you doesn't seem quite adequate. We love you. We appreciate you and are grateful for you.

Kudos to our picnic General Chair Tim Domagalski and the entire team of chairpersons and others who helped us have another successful picnic. Simply could not do it without all of you. ❤️

Last but not least... Thanks to Father Alfred, our weather chairman, for the great weather. We had a little water the first two days, but Sunday was perfect. ❤️

See you in about 363 days...😉
