Summer Festival Hiatus

The consensus seems to be that with so many other activities scheduled,
including the ongoing capital campaign, we will put the Parish Summer Festival
on hold for this year. There may be a celebration on a smaller scale some time
midsummer. Please watch the bulletin for further details.
