HOSPITALITY WEEKEND

One weekend per month will be designated as Hospitality weekend. On that weekend, Standing Committees of the Parish will sponsor community-building activities in the Community Room. Established groups of the parish who have fundraising needs may sign-up to sell items on these weekends, working with the monthly Hospitality committee.
