St. Patrick's Day Dinner Huge Success!
|
The first annual St. Patrick's Day Parish Dinner was a tremendous success! Thank you to everyone who participated and supported our youth group in their fundraising for their summer mission trip. The food was incredible (thanks go out to Todd Reid, Dale Humphries, and Larry Hutson), the service and music were inspiring, and the fellowship was outstanding!
It was an incredible night - and the church was filled to overflowing... so many thanks to everyone for their hard work and support. It was a night to be remembered for a long time to come, as it was a powerful witness to the faith and hope our teenagers bring to St. Columba's. We are indeed blessed by so many and wonderful children and teenagers! Click Here to see some pictures from the evening.
