Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (August 9, 2026)

Monthly Potluck Social

Madonna and Child

Our next monthly potluck social will be held after Mass on Sunday, August 23rd. Please bring a dish to share! Crockpots welcome! A good rule of thumb is to bring twice as much food as is typically required to feed your own family.

 

 

 

 

Lost and Found

A lime-green bowl with a lid was left behind at a recent potluck. If it is yours, please let us know. It will be available to pick up at our next potluck on August 23rd.
