We are looking at the possibility of a New Year’s Eve Party to be held in Gaudete Hall, obviously December 31^st. For the party to be sustainable we will need 60 adult persons to sign up. The sign-up sheet is located at the back of church. The announcement as to whether the party is “a go” will be at the Sunday Masses December 23^rd. If the party is held, pork, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, beer and soft drinks will be on the menu, supplied by the parish, with those attending bringing a dish to pass. Check out the flyer in today’s bulletin.
