First Communion,
Crowning of the Blessed Mother
On April 24, 2011, Easter Sunday, Father David Berger celebrated First Communion for Jessica Shank, Katy Shank, and Gavin Kubala. We are very proud of these young parishioners! Also, on May 14, Father David celebrated the May Crowning of the Blessed Mother, an act of devotion repeated every year in honor of our Blessed Mother. Thanks to Susie Shank for sharing her pictures.

We'd like to thank everyone who came out to our annual parish picnic on Sunday, Sept. 4, and thanks to all who donated time, money and items to ensure the success of our picnic. We are a blessed parish to be supported by not only our members and surrounding communities, but also so many visitors from out of town. Thanks to all!
