 | WorkCamp Dinner & Silent AuctionThroughout the month of April the High School Youth Group is selling tickets for their Annual Dinner & Silent Auction held on Saturday, April 30. This is a key fundraising effort to support their Workcamp Initiative. Tickets are only $5 each and include a full dinner of pork tenderloin and fixin's prepared by the Knights of Columbus. Make sure you buy your tickets after Mass. Raffle tickets for a pair of Adirondack Chairs and a Garden Bench, made by the teens, are also available. Raffle tickets are $5 each and you do not need to be present to win. Catch the teens in the Lobby after each Mass and help send a teen to Workcamp! We are also looking for donations for the Silent Auction. Have you done some recent Spring Cleaning? Maybe you would like to donate a service? Please contact Lisa Rimmington at 703-799-0714 if you have an item or service to donate for the Silent Auction. Thank you for your support! |
