Parish Fair Booth Sponsors
Every year we encourage our parishioners to be a
Booth Sponsor. This helps to ensure the success of
our Fair, in case of inclement weather. A few years
ago this theory was put to the test! Those who
supported our Parish by being a Booth Sponsor that
year, kept a bad situation from becoming worse.
Please consider becoming a Booth Sponsor this year.
You can find additional application forms on the table,
in the vestibule.
If you decide to become a sponsor, we would be very
grateful for your generous and speedy response.
Any questions? Call Betty (203-322-1669, ext.1).
SUMMER VACATION During the Summer months, many of our parishioners are away on Vacation. We are grateful to those parishioners who make up their envelopes for absent weekends, when they return. Our collections fall off by 20% during the summer months. Our bills do not go away, even if you do.
Perhaps you will consider using our credit card program for your weekly and/or monthly donations. This has been a great help to our parish. You can find the credit card application forms in the vestibule. Thank you for your generosity and consideration.
SAVE THE DATES Tues. 8/28 to Sat. 9/1
Please email Holly at [email protected] to volunteer at our Annual Parish Fair.
Sign up for the Youth Group Ice Cream/Soda booth. Parent volunteers are also needed!
Protecting God’s Children
