14th Annual Parish Picnic -
We are excited to announce, after a 2-year hiatus due to the Pandemic, that we have begun planning our 14th Annual Parish Picnic. It will take place on Sunday September 11th. We are returning to the magnificent grounds of the Ignatius Jesuit Centre but moving to a new area – St. Brigid’s Villa.
Tickets will be sold starting after the weekend masses starting on August 13th/14th and will be available at the main entrance.
Tickets remain only $5.00 per person and children under 5 years of age are admitted free.
We ask that you purchase your tickets well in advance - this will help the committee manage the quantity of food to purchase for the event. The festivities begin with an open-air Mass at 1:00 pm, followed by games, music, food and fun for all ages. We will have many fun and exciting activities; including the always popular Bocce and Euchre tournaments. “The Musicmakers” are back by popular demand, and will play some lively, sing-a-long music in the afternoon. Kids will have lots of fun, with several new games and activities.
We will also have our annual raffle draw, with many wonderful prizes! Prizes are generously donated by local businesses and parishioners and so if you want to donate a prize, please contact the parish office at 519-824-3951.
Please plan to join your fellow parishioners at this wonderful annual event. To ensure your comfort, we ask that you bring lawn chairs and blankets. Watch the website for updates and details.
