Ice Cream Sundays – All Summer Long!
All kids age 16 and under – our summer Feed Your Faith program is back by popular demand! Beginning Corpus Christi weekend (June 21-22), “Ice Cream Sunday” punch cards will be available after Mass. Pick up a card and then come to church each week to get it hole-punched by Father Chris. When you attend 8 or more Masses between Corpus Christi and Labor Day weekend (August 30-31), you will earn a coupon for a free ice cream cup or cone at one of your favorite ice cream shops! Any questions, contact Maggie Weikel at Maggie.weikel@gmail.com.
