Even though we had rain, we had a great turnout for our annual picnic in June 2015. The children had a blast with the indoor games, complete with prizes for everyone. A special thank you to Father Joe, George Thornhill, and Courtney Henry, who made sure the grill was under control in the rain. Thank you to all the guests that came and please remind them that they are also always welcome to Sunday services and brunch.
