On August 27th, the spirit of togetherness and generosity filled the halls of St. Mary's as we hosted a heartwarming soup and dessert lunch following our Sunday service. It was a day filled with conversation, connection, and delicious homemade dishes, all thanks to the wonderful parishioners who contributed their culinary talents.
Over 40 people gathered for this special event, and it was heartening to see not only familiar faces but also new ones among us. At St. Mary's, we cherish these gatherings as they provide an excellent opportunity to extend our warm welcome to newcomers, inviting them to experience the close-knit community that defines our church.
Moreover, events like these serve a dual purpose. While fostering a sense of belonging, they also contribute to our ongoing efforts to raise funds for the preservation of our beloved church. Every bowl of soup and slice of dessert brings us one step closer to ensuring that St. Mary's continues to stand as a pillar of faith, history, and community in our town.
