Youth Sunday
Old Fashioned Parish Picnic

Was a huge success!
We would like to thank all those who helped to make this event so fantastic:

To the Youth Team who, with the help of Ron Smith, helped make the Liturgies life giving and to flow smoothly. To Robyn Chittle and Jessica Hebert for the excellent job of leading the Liturgical Dancers. To Stephanie Ascaik for the great job with the power point presentation at Communion. To our Social Committee especially Linda Proctor who did a wonderful job getting the food ready and managing the kitchen, it’s a big job! To Arliss Charette and Geraldine Morand for helping the kitchen run smoothly. To Brad Toulouse for organizing and running the talent show. Great job Brad!! To Dawn Bosco and Geraldine Morand for taking Pictures. To Helen Bontrant who organized the parish contests and assisted our judges.

To Meaghan McCarthy and Maggie Rufo from youth ministry who ran the games.  To Dennis and Gail Emery for doing a fine job with the Bingo and Raffle.  Special thank you to Mike Williams for once again working throughout the day behind the scenes.

And a big thank you to the youth team for cleaning everything up after the day was done.
Special thanks to E & C Jewelers for the donation of the beautiful silver gifts that we raffled off and to Ken Clement for the donated wine for our Bingo table.  A big thank you to our Judges for the contests; Fr.Robert (our illustrious pastor), Dr. Bob Langlois (our witty Pastoral Minister) and Stephanie Asciak (our musician and computer genius extraordinaire!)

Everyone worked hard and had a great time.  (Hopefully we didn’t forget to thank anyone)
