Our Parish will celebrate our Church Building’s 100 year anniversary.

Simultaneously, in the Church there will be a brief presentation on the History of the Church, including a description of the fifty-four beautiful Stained Glass Windows that were purchased by the parishioners back in 1925, and remain today as a beautiful reminder of an expression of Love for Our God. We expect a good crowd so there will be more than one presentation to allow people to alternate between the Picnic and the Presentation. We will Celebrate and give Thanksgiving for all the members of our Church over the past 148 years who have helped create this Wonderful Parish and Parish Community. With all of their contributions, we have a reverent place to “Come Love God Together With Us!”
