Chili Bowl, Sunday at 6:00 p.m.
The Chili Bowl is Sunday! Make plans to attend this annual event that achieves three very important goals in parish life: fun, fellowship and fundraising! We invite all our newcomers to join us. This is a great opportunity to get to know the activities and mission opportunities within the church and meet lots of parishioners.
