Survey Says...Annual Parish Picnic Was an 'Excellent Event!'

God shined down the perfect weather on September 15th at St. Catherine's 15th annual picnic, where attendees enjoyed each other's favorite family recipes, ran three-legged races, joined in a volleyball game, or relaxed and socialized. There was something fun for everyone and many offered enthusiastic reviews, such as "the selection of songs (from the Blue Sugar Band) was pleasant for all age groups." Wayne bragged, "We floated the beer keg!"

Young Tara, winner extraordinaire of the donut-eating contest, emphatically stated that sand art -- new to the picnic this year -- "was my absolute favorite craft!" Herman raved, "Definitely the potato salad and pulled pork" were the best foods, and he "enjoyed meeting lots of new people." In a "no pressure" atmosphere, folks said it was "a time for fellowship, not just the norm of worshiping together." Could this possibly be what our pastor has been striving for? "Yes! Community-building -- that's what I have been talking about!" agrees Fr. Chester.

The fine food selection, socializing, and having all activities together in one area were a winning combination for this year's picnic. Fr. Chester and St. Catherine's Community of Faith & Fellowship look forward to another fabulous picnic event next fall. Please join us!
