CHILI
COOK OFF
Every January SMM is treated to
our own special COOK OFF for the best Chili recipe - spicy and mild.
Each family attending this event is welcomed to come and bring their
own chili dish entry and sample those that other families make.
If chili is not your thing, we serve hot dogs and dessert instead.
Music and dancing is provided. The cost of the evening is $5 per
person/$15 per family and half price for families entering a pot
of chili! All money raised goes toward scholarships for families
or singles in our parish who wish to attend the Family Camping Retreat
but need financial assistance. For more information call Brenda
and Jim Blanton.
FAMILY
CAMPING RETREAT
The Family Life Social Ministry Team sponsors this wonderful
faith and fun-filled weekend experience at the beautiful Woodlands
Campground in Monteverde, Florida every April for all families and
single people in our Parish. It is an event to which families return
year after year.
Families
have the option of living in tents, cabins or dorm rooms for the weekend. In addition
to the delicious food served at our community meals and the beautiful Mass celebrated
by Fr. Charlie at the lake on Saturday night, families can go swimming, fishing,
join in the hay rides and campfires at night, ride horses, take part in athletic
and game competition, make arts and crafts, and just have a plain old fashion
good time.
In addtion to those families who are participating in the
weekend overnight camping event, we welcome all those in the praish who would
like to come out and attend the Mass celebrated by Father by the Lake on Saturday
evening.
Cost varies and scholarships are available. Call Claire
Geltz at the Church office for details. For more information
about the weekend or to volunteer in any capacity, contact Brenda
and Jim Blanton.
