This coming weekend is our annual Homecoming Bazaar. It is called Homecoming because so many people, who have moved away, come back to the parish for the bazaar. It could be for the homemade foods and delicacies. But more so, it is for meeting old friends and acquaintances. The Bazaar is more than a parish fund- raiser. It is an event where our parishioners come together make new friends, welcome visitors and guests, have a good time, and truly come together as a parish community of fath. Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of hard work involved. But the laughter that you hear, the dancing throughout the evenings, and the enjoyment on people’s faces truly shows a parish family enjoying each other. I listen and watch as our parishioners gather to make the foods for the Bazaar. They’re telling stories, reminiscing past events and introducing their families. I see workers putting the stands together, wiring everything, and organizing the tents. It’s hard work, mixed with laughter, and an offer of a helping hand. So, yes, the Bazaar is a parish fund- raising event. But it also brings the parish family together and a place to make new friends.
Thank You for your support and all the work you do.
