Advent Tree
- During Advent, our church displays this 'tree' with its many
choices for the people of the parish to choose from to provide
help for people in need of food and clothing, toys or
companionship.
Appreciation
Dinner - Once a year the people in the parish who served in
any capacity on the several church commissions, organizations and
activities are invited to a 'thank you' dinner in their honor at
the Parish Center.
Bake Sales
- The women of the St. Anne Rosary Altar Society and the
Guadalupanas hold bake sales during the year. Their homemade
pies, cakes, cookies and nut rolls disappear quickly as everyone
in the parish looks forward to these events.
Blood Drive
- The parish schedules daylong blood drives once a year on Good
Friday in the Parish Center in cooperation with the American Red
Cross.
Card Party
- The St, Anne Rosary Altar Society holds a card party every year
to provide the women of the parish an afternoon of lunch, card
games and happy chatter.
Coffee & Donuts
- The first Sunday of every month is the date for parishioners and
friends to share coffee & donuts after all Sunday Masses.
Festival
- Once a year the Parish sponsors a fundraiser in the form of a
family-oriented festival, with games, music, dancing, Vegas and
Bingo, and always good food!
Fish Fries
- Every Friday during Lent our young people sponsor fish dinners
in the Parish Center. Proceeds of these dinners go into our
Parish CYO Fund to help defray the costs of the children's
athletic program.
Forever Young
Luncheons - Once a month
our parish 'young-old timers' meet for a potluck lunch in the
Parish Center. This always results in an abundance of both food
and conversation.
Golf Outing
- Every summer the men and women of the parish, and their guests,
get together for a morning of golf. This annual event always is
well attended and everyone's enjoyment is exceeded only by the
many faulty memories in recording strokes.
Mexican
Breakfast - Twice a year
our Mexican parishioners host a Sunday morning breakfast.
Everyone is invited to share the meal and the companionship.
Parish Picnic
- Every summer out parishioners gather for a picnic at a local
park or on church grounds. The event begins with Mass and
continues throughout the day with food, beverages, games, prizes
and sunburn.
Soup Meals
- Every Tuesday during Lent, various parish groups take turns
preparing and serving a soup meal. Parishioners come to the
Parish Center for bowls of homemade soups, and then walk over to
the church for Tuesday evening Mass.
Treasures 'n'
Things - Annually the parish hosts an annual flea-market.
People from the downriver area donate their 'treasures' for a
three day rummage sale in the Parish Center.
Ushers'
Breakfast - Throughout the year, the members of the Ushers'
Society prepare and serve breakfast on Sunday morning. (They may
take all the credit, but the assistance of out parish women
assures success of the meals.)
Winterfest
- Annually the parish hosts Winterfest, where people from the
downriver community gather to display their handiwork, and offer
visitors opportunities to browse and purchase. |
