What an absolutely amazing night: The rain didn't stop us for a minute. Delicious food (much of it made by all of you,) fabulous music, great dancing and terrific raffles -- but most of all, a wonderful group of people gathered together to enjoy fellowship and support our church. The $$ look really good and we will share those numbers once everything is final. Click here to download the program. Below is a pic of the band and the ice-sculpture of Saint George, which decorated the table -- and it seems there are lots more photos on social media; check 'em out

SMP (Sunday Morning Program) SIGN UP  

We have added a new class this fall. Emily Pappas and Michael Marge are back as teachers and we welcome Amal El Koussa. Plus Nadia Kimmett and Penelope Hilane are helping. 

Whenever class is in session, the younger students will receive communion first and head to the parish hall. The sermon will be given at the end -- this will allow for enough class time before the rest of us arrive in the hall for coffee. The older class will stay for the homily and then head to the office for class. 

Make sure you sign your students up for class -- yes, it is likely we already know you but we need your up-to-date info. Click the code above. Use the QR code or just click here.
