THE MAGIC 600 for the PARISH FAMILY PICNIC

The day is finally here!! We have been running about as hard as we can for some time now. This is because we want to thank you for all that you do for St. Joseph Church. You deserve the best.

It is time to enjoy this life with which God has so graciously blest us and not allow it to all be work. It is time to step back from our busyness and to spend quality time with our parish family and friends. This is what our parish picnic is all about.

We will have a Sunday afternoon in which we can all come together; the kids can jump and play. Adults can visit, eat and exchange pleasantries. Hangout and chat with old pals and meet new friends! We have a treat for everyone; the young and the mature, the young families and the “golden-age” couples.

There will be plenty of food to share. Get a freshly grilled hamburger or a hot dog, other favorite dishes and desserts; and something cool to drink. Tables and chairs will be provided for seniors and the infirmed. For those who are able, bring lawn chairs or picnic mats.

ADMISSION IS FREE. Please bring DESSERT for those whose last name begins with letters A to I; ENTREE for those whose last name begins with letters J to R; and SIDE DISH for those whose last name begins with letters S to Z. Donate TIME and TALENT by volunteering before, during and after the event.

If you failed to sign-up and want to join the MAGIC 600, JUST COME and join the fun!!!!!
