To everyone who came to share a meal, reconnect with neighbors, bid in the auction, and celebrate together; thank you. Your presence helped create lasting memories while supporting our parish.

A heartfelt thank you to the countless volunteers who gave their time, talents, and energy, and to everyone who donated food, auction items, prizes, and other support. It truly takes a community, and we're grateful for each and every person who helped make this tradition possible.
