On July 5th 2015, we celebrated our first parish picnic at Manitoba historical site – Lake Francis School. The parish picnic has been an opportunity for the St. Mary’s parishioners and friends to come together during the summer for some fun and fellowship.
Our parish picnic was a whopping success. Everybody enjoyed pig roast, games, activities for all ages and tour to one of the largest dairy farm in western Canada. Our prayers for good weather were answered and a more perfect day could hardly have been imagined. An estimated 80 people attended the event which began at 1:00 and ended by 8:00 pm. I want to thank everyone for coming and showing your loyalty to the parish on that day. In particular, we all owe a debt of gratitude to Lorraine and Walter Fedon.
The success of the parish picnic demonstrated that there is indeed a lot of life and good will here at St. Mary’s.
