REVEL TIME AGAIN!
Our major fund-raiser for
the year is fast approaching. FYI...for the newcomers to
our Parish family...St. Mary’s operates a Food
Booth at
the Revel
every year. Besides providing funds
for special projects around the Church, the
Parish family gets to know each other better working
side-by-side & even sitting around visiting on the
rainy days when business is slow. Revel
this year is Oct.
2-Oct. 9. Revel
is open 8 days from 11am to 9pm (an extra hour on
weekends) & four-hour shifts are asked of the
volunteers. You may have noticed the tables in back of
Church with sign-up sheets. Many volunteers
are
needed to lighten the work load of the hard working
Revel Team. You can select the time you want to work,
and the position you want (counter person, portion
server, cook or shift supervisor). If you are concerned
about parking, there is a shuttle bus from Mall St.
Vincent to the entrance of the Revel. Watch the bulletin
for more details.
