IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE PARISH and are wondering what all the fuss is about, please put December 7th on your calendar, and join us. It is truly an awe inspiring sight to see the Christmas wonderland in the Parish Center. The Christmas Table offers a variety of Christmas arrangements which are made by our talented parishioners and Msgr. Jim. Fresh wreaths and table arrangements, also made on site by our parishioners, may be purchased from the Wreath Table. The Gourmet Table offers homemade jams, jellies, candies, nuts and gift baskets. The Craft Table will display crafts of all kinds which you can buy for those on your gift list or for yourself. We will also have rosaries, statues, holy cards, books and pictures available at the Religious Table. And don’t miss the Bake Table for an assortment of delicious homemade cakes, cookies, brownies, and breads. We haven’t forgotten about the children—the Children’s Table offers inexpensive wrapped gifts for the children to buy for the people on their shopping list, as well as candy and gifts for children. Face Painting will also be offered by the Youth Group. And, of course, the bazaar wouldn’t be complete without a visit from Santa and the Mrs!
Of course, people traverse from afar to explore the wonders of the Magi Marketplace which overflows with treasures for guys and gals of all ages. It has become a holiday destination for Christmas gift shoppers, antique hunters, book enthusiasts, Christmas decorators, jewelry lovers, art fans, collectors, hobbyists and more. The Magi Marketplace has 13 Shoppes on 2 floors in the classrooms attached to the Parish Center.
Before, during, or after your unique shopping experience, be sure to enjoy a delicious Homemade Lunch! Enjoy the famous chili, hot dogs, sausage & sauerkraut, homemade pies and more! This year we will again have a Pit Beef Tent (outside) with pit beef, beer and soda.
Please join us for our biggest fundraiser of the year!
