THANK YOU TO ALL of the dedicated workers who put in A LOT of hours helping to bake, wrap, sticker, stack, and transport the bake goods to the Potato Festival and the Apple Cider Festival this past weekend. Also, we are thankful to those who got up early to "man the booths” at the Festivals. God provided us with two spectacular weather days, and for that we are most grateful. As Father mentioned at Mass on Sunday, it takes many, many hands to make this possible, and we had many, many hands on deck! Occasionally, when the calendar plays tricks on us, and schedules these two Festivals back to back, it’s exhausting, to say the least. Last Friday (Sept. 29), the oven was on for 19 straight hours!!!!! We will have the final numbers next week. THANK YOU, THANK YOU... May God bless you abundantly!! --Parish Bulletin, Oct. 8, 2023.
