Wine Down Wednesday
For this annual summer series, we come together with our community for events designed to foster belonging and friendship. Each gathering begins with Daily Mass at 6:00 p.m., followed by an engaging activity to help us connect and grow together. We wrap up the evening at 8:00 p.m.
Speaking of wrapping up — we have just wrapped up our 2024 summer series!! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us this summer and helped celebrate our vibrant parish community! In total, we had 1,085 people who attended throughout the summer! Over seven weeks we enjoyed engaging activities to help our community get to know one another, brighten someone's day, grow in faith, and just have some summer fun.
We couldn’t have done it without our amazing volunteers and staff. To everyone who contributed in any way—setting up, welcoming guests, or helping behind the scenes—thank you! This summer was a testament to our collective spirit and helping to grow God's kingdom.
A toast to a fantastic season and to many more in the future! Cheers!
