St. Joseph’s Parish Picnic
St.Joseph's Parish Picnic will take place on September 15th. We plan to have many attractions for both adults and children, including an obstacle course, friendly competitions, games, cotton candy, good music, and above all, a nice, family atmosphere. We’ll provide tasty traditional Polish food. In addition to a host of other dishes, roasted piglet will be served. We also want the picnic to reflect our national heritage in a warm and folksy way, so the wearing of folk and regional costumes and other elements such as scarves, T-shirts, and hats will be welcome and will certainly add color to the entire event. As always, the proceeds from this annual fundraiser will be used to pay parish expenses and fund parish projects. As everyone has probably noticed, all of the stained glass windows in the Church have been installed for a few weeks now. The entire roof of the Church was also replaced. These were huge but necessary financial undertakings that we had to face as a parish. And there is still work to be done - a long list of necessary renovations that have been put off for years but must be done in the near future. Among these are renovating the stairs leading to the hall, repairing the ceilings of the bathrooms next to the hall, sanding the floor of the hall, mending the sidewalks around the property and replacing the windows in the attic of the rectory. And these are just some of the projects requiring attention. Of course they must be spread over time because the parish does not have the financial resources to do them all at once. This is why the parish picnic is so important as our chief fundraiser for the year. Please open your hearts and join us for this worthwhile cause. We count on your presence and support!
