2024 PARISH PICNIC

 Our St. Mary Picnic will once again be on the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend (Sept. 1, 2024).

The annual parish picnic is the largest single fundraiser in our parish,

and it is important that all parishioners and friends of St. Mary Church

get involved to help make this the very best picnic ever.

For information or to volunteer call Buddy or Joyce Dittrich at (979) 561-8403.

Save the date and tell your friends!
