Thank You to All of the dedicated workers who gave a lot of their time to help bake, wrap, sticker, stack, and transport the bake goods to the Potato Festival and the Apple Cider Festival these past two weekends. Also, we are thankful to those who got up early to “man the booths” at the Festivals. As Father mentioned, it takes many, many hands to make this possible, and we had many hands on deck! We are so grateful that the calendar worked with us again and we had a week in between to re-group. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. May God bless you abundantly! --Parish Bulletin, October 12, 2025.
