Each fall, usually the first weekend of October, we have our annual fund-raiser for the parish. This begins on Friday evening with an auction in the parish hall and a wine and cheese party. Msgr. Ryan and other parishioners gather many fine items throughout the year for the auction. These things, which range in price from very expensive to quite reasonable, are then bid upon in either a silent or an oral auction with a professional auctioneer. Tickets are sold in advance for this popular event and seating is limited so you need to buy your tickets as soon as they are available.

On Sunday there is a family fun day for all parishioners and guests. There are games and contests for all ages and delicious food and beverages. This is a good time for you and your family to enjoy each other with other parishioners of St. Mary's.

In addition to the Auction and Sunday festivities there is a parish raffle for very nice prizes. All parishioners are encouraged to sell tickets for the raffle and of course volunteers are needed to help with all of the activities. Watch for notices in September of each year.
