Christmas Festival and Bazaar Update
The first St. Anthony Christmas Festival and Bazaar was a great success making over $5,500. MOSA (men of St. Anthony) was fantastic in the setup and cleanup of the bazaar. So many of you provided wonderfully handcrafted items, baked goods and gave of your time. We have so many talented people in our congregation. And you also bought!
 
The Bistro was wonderful and fed so many people. The pre-Christmas rummage sale did very well. The bake sale and bazaar exceeded expectations.  If you missed the Bollywood dancers, check our website.  They were fantastic. Thanks to all, and we look forward to your participation and support next year.
