Pizza & Pumpkin Decorating 2023

A good time was had by all at our recent October 15th event. Many thanks go out to Lorie Papp, the Parish Activities Committee, Acme Stores, Rocco’s, Papa John’s, Papa-Roni’s & Marco’s Pizza restaurants. We have lots of fun-loving, creative people in our parish!

A visit from Mayor Horrigan

We received a call from Mayor Horrigan’s office letting us know that the Mayor wanted to come to the parish to present a proclamation honoring our 100th anniversary. WOW, what a surprise and an honor!! The Mayor along with Mr. Chris Ludle, Director of Public Service, and photographer Kyle Reynolds came on Wednesday, August 16th. The Mayor presented the proclamation, we presented him with one of our 100th anniversary cubes and a 100 Fun Facts booklet and then had him and Mr. Ludle sign our banner. The Mayor even took off his personal city lapel pin and presented it to Fr. Mike. The proclamation is on display under the hymn board so please come up to see it. Thank you, Mayor Horrigan!

Destroyed fire hydrant

If the rectory water woes weren’t enough, someone drove through and completely destroyed the fire hydrant in front of the Free Store (old school), taking out part of the telephone pole as well. We think gremlins are afoot! That hydrant had a water meter on it provided by the city to be used by those growing plants in the Community Garden and someone even stole the meter! The hydrant and meter have been replaced, but the pole still bears its scars.

100th Anniversary memorials

Looking for a unique Christmas gift for a family member or friend who attended our parish or parish school – why not consider one of our 100th anniversary memorials? They will be available for sale after all Masses beginning the weekend of December 2-3 at the main doors of the church and are available at the rectory. The glass cube sits on one of its corners and has both the parish shield and logo on it. The gold medallion is a heavy metal perfect for display in your home. Cost: The cubes sell for $25.00 and the medallions sell for $10.00.
