JOINT PARISH PICNIC

We are in the planning stages of a joint parish picnic, which will be on Sunday, September 7^th

from noon to 4:00pm on the grounds of Mary Queen of Peace. The Knights of Columbus Council

volunteered to step up to cook a menu of sausage and onions and we will also have the basic fare

of hamburgers and hotdogs. All that we ask is for each family to bring a shared dish to add

to our giant food table, and their own chair or blanket. The day of fellowship will begin with an

outside mass at 11:00am after which we all head over to sample some wonderful food.

This year, in honor of Fr. Paul’s 52^nd Birthday (September 7^th), our bake off will be Birthday Cakes

from the adults and cupcakes from the kids. Entries will be judged on taste, and uniqueness of decoration.

Games and face painting for the kids, clowns, pony rides, petting zoo, magician and a bounce house.

Tickets will be available after all the Masses throughout the month of August. There is no cost,

but the tickets gives us an estimate on what to buy. If you can help in any way give Mary a call.

There will a sponsored cycle ride on Sunday, July 27 to benefit Emmaus Inc. of Haverhill, MA

which provides shelter, services, and housing for homeless children and adults; 26, 62 and
