We are pleased to announce that we have reopened the church for in-person, limited seating. Please make sure to read the guidelines presented here before coming to the church. Your cooperation is crucial for the success of this reopening. Thank you for your understanding.
The 100th Year Anniversary stained glass window was made thanks to the generosity of Arthur and Susan Nasseff in memory of John Nasseff's family. Its design concept, details, content, and sketches were made by Fr. Emmanuel Nakhle with the assistance of Chorbishop sharbel Maroun. It was executed by Gaytee Stained Glass Company in Minneapolis and its designer David Fode.

This has been an unusual time in our lives. Some of us have actually had time to clean out those attics and storage spaces. With that in mind, please consider donating NEW items to the Silent Auction events. We will help you recycle those unused Christmas gifts and give them new life. Please, please, we can only use NEW ITEMS or ANTIQUE items.
The SILENT AUCTION committee welcomes new items of just about any category. There is almost always a theme basket in the works that it will fit into. The basket committee supplies items for the bingos, and other events throughout the year including the Fall Festival. If you have items you would like to donate, please contact Carolyn Marker at 612-270-0451 or send an email to cmarker243@aol.com to let her know that you have left items.
YOU CAN DROP OFF
AT CHURCH ONCE IT IS OPEN AGAIN OR CONTACT CAROLYN FOR PICK UP.
Planning Meeting:
On Wednesday, August 12, at 6:30 pm, Gloria Deeb-Reyes will hold a meeting to discuss possible events we can do in lieu of our annual fall festival. Participants may attend the meeting in person in the church social hall or attend via “Zoom.� All interested parties/volunteers are encouraged to participate. As stated in an earlier bulletin, one of the events may be a series of take-out only dinners. These dinners would possibly start the same weekend that the festival would have taken place so as not to lose our momentum. Other events may also occur and will be discussed on August 12.
Raffle:
Although our full fall festival will not occur this year, Carolyn has graciously offered to do a mail-in raffle, with the winners announced in early September. The council is grateful to Carolyn for doing this and is 100% behind the effort. Please watch your mail in the next few weeks for a packet of raffle tickets. This year, there will be two cash prizes, only.
Due to the current situation, classes are held on-line Wednesdays at 6:30 pm. Parents are invited to encourage and help their children participate in these classes from home.
