While we have wished for rain for so long, we sure hope it is nice and dry for our MaryFair festivities.

If this rain has you stuck in the house, you might want to take the opportunity to do some shopping. The MaryFair online auction is up and running and full of wonderful items.
You better hurry though, because it ends at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Feel free to share this link with your friends too!

MaryFair is Rustic Chic this Year

You are up for a treat this year. MaryFair Weekend presents a Rustic Chic setting. The Dinner and Auction is an elegant evening under an expansive white tent illuminated by glittering lights. The dinner is by Catering by Or. You can dress up and enjoy a grown-up evening with friends, all the while helping to raise funds for the parish, primarily for our largest ministry, the school. 

The next day is a free family picnic all done up like a Classic Country Fair. You’ll dine on freshly cooked BBQ and pie. Kids can enjoy a petting zoo, pony rides, old-fashioned games and a climbing wall. Everyone can enjoy the family lawn games and a concert under the big blue sky.

Join us for both events. MaryFair: ONE GOD. ONE FAIR. ONE FAMILY. 

• Buy tickets to the Dinner/Auction before or after Mass this weekend, mail in the invitation you received with a check or, coming soon, buy tickets online.
