- Yard Sale – will conclude this weekend. THANK YOU to Cynthia Aycock for organizing this fundraising event. THANK YOU to Pat Amato and her crew for the delicious food that was prepared. There were people lined up outside waiting for the doors to open at 8am on Friday. The parking lot was abuzz with a lot of activity all week. There are many thanks that go out to those who helped transport, load, unload, organize, price, sell and so on. The support of so many parishioners made this possible and the parish is truly grateful. God bless.
