One of the important fundraisers for our Parish (to keep our congregation alive) is “bleenie†and food sale. We discussed this project at our Annual Parish meeting and worked out the details at the last Parish Committee meeting, held on Sunday, April 19, 2009.
This event took place in the Holy Ghost church hall, and at the front of the rectory on Friday, May 1, 2009.
The first parishioners came on that day around 5:30am to prepare everything for sale. We offered: “bleenies†(potato pancakes), gołąbki (pigs-in-the-blanket), soups (vegetable soup and Italian wedding soup), halushki, krokiety and cakes. The sale started at 10:00AM.
God sent us a blessing. We thought that sales would be slow because we had a cloudy and rainy day…but the people came from all around, some from quite far, to buy a food. The tables were emptied and the sale was concluded by 1:30pm. We were tired because of the work, however you can see a smiles on our faces. We were proud to do this work for our community, for our parish and for ourselves.
A special “thank you†to: Mrs. Mary Ann Hoppes, Mr. John Golba, Mr. Stanley Bulcavage, Mrs. Violet Cegielski, Mrs. Claire Mallick, Mrs. Geraldine Andrews, Mr. Jacob Komara, Mr. Julian Bednarek, Mr. John Blickley, Joe and Theresa Petrusky. We can never thank you enough for your help.
Many THANKS for all DONATIONS! God bless you all!
