Successful ABC Sale: Everyone Had A Role

We want to say a great big "thank you" to everyone who took a role in making the ABC Sale a tremendous success. Whether you donated merchandise, helped with the sale, baked a treat, or purchased an item, your contribution will help make a difference for numerous community outreach projects. We hope that you all had as much fun as we did and made some new friends along the way. Our goal this year was to get more people involved in the sale. So many of you responded to our "Everyone Has A Role" plea that at one point we worried that we might not have enough roles for you to fill. As the day of the sale drew closer, we realized that we always needed one more person. An extra added bonus to all the fun we had is that, on the day of the sale, the parish brought in $26,000. After expenses are deducted, every penny of the proceeds will go straight to our community. We'd like to say that's a job well done!

"I thank my God every time I remember you." Philippians 1:3
